Music reviews of The Number One Hits
Music Review: A Great Idea That Came Up A Bit Short
Rating: 4 Stars
By that I obviously don't mean the music contained in this volume which delivers all 18 of his # 1 hits on the Billboard Pop Top/Hot 100 charts. But for the record, five of those also made # 1 on the R&B charts, as did Wear My Ring Around Your Neck which scored at # 2 Top 100 in spring 1958 and so didn't qualify for this volume. Six of the 18 also made # 1 Country, but then so too did I Forgot To Remember To Forget (fall 1955), Moody Blue (early 1977), Way Down (summer 1977), and Guitar Man (early 1981 remix by Felton Jarvis).
And if you really want to get technical, he also had # 1's on the Adult Contemporary (AC) charts with the following: Can't Help Falling In Love (early 1962); Crying In The Chapel (June 1965); (Such An) Easy Question (August 1965); I'm Yours (fall 1965); The Wonder Of You (June 1970); You Don't Have To Say You Love Me (December 1970); and My Boy spring 1975).
So, where is volume 2? Also, if they ever decide to re-release this one, try putting in some liner notes to provide a bit of background on the tracks, including a discography. Seems to me a release providing the # 1 Pop hits for the most significant singing artist of the 20th Century deserves that much attention.
Description of The Number One Hits
Combining all of Presley's No. 1 hits from the Billboard charts (18 in total from 1956-59), this disc offers a decent, if skimpy, introduction to the King. Presley neophytes will certainly find it useful to have such standards as "Heartbreak Hotel," "Love Me Tender" and "Suspicious Minds" on one album. In addition to these huge Presley hits, such lesser known Number Ones as "Big Hunk o' Love" and "Good Luck Charm" are pleasing reminders of the breadth of Presley's abilities. Still, the fact is that there's a lot more fantastic Presley material out there, and any fan would be wise to seek out as much of it as he or she can. --Ian LandauGeneral CDs
