Elvis Presley 45 RPM Canadian Discography

This discography will focus on the original releases between 1956-1977 and none of the re-releases. The Canadian records are same as the U.S. releases, except for the label. However, additional differences will be noted accordingly.

References
For many years, there was a great website called www.elviscanada.com. It was the only website of it's kind in that it provided great detail and lists of the Elvis Presley Canadian discography. It was a valuable contribution to Elvis collectors everywhere. I referenced it quite often. Recently, I have discovered that it no longer exists. The information is seemingly gone forever. I could not find any other site that even touches on the extensive Elvis Presley Canadian Record Catalog. I was fortunate enough to recover that information to bring it back to the Elvis collector community. As updates become available, references⁵ will follow. On August 31, 2013, Tom McCallum, the curator of www.elviscanada.com emailed that the site is back!

Merge[edit]

I really don't see the point of keeping this article and the hit singles page separate. Hell, even the Elvis Presley international hit singles page seems unnecessary.

I propose we merge all three pages, or at least this and the hit singles page. There are virtually no other artists who have separate pages for their singles in their home country and their singles abroad. In my opinion, all it does is create confusion and American centrism. I understand that the list of hit singles may be for the purpose of highlighting his commercial successes given that the singer has released hundreds of singles, but we should take into consideration if it is a worthwhile to Wikipedia.

I noticed that when I split the discography. I am sure this article is the one to keep and the other articles can be handled by adding extra columns to this article. You could try colour coding the table. For inspiration, try looking at the tables in David Coulthard as an example. Op47 (talk) 12:08, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Interwiki mess[edit]

When split this article the interwiki were not changed. In spanish, 'Anexo:Discografía de Elvis Presley' include both, singles and albums, but interwiki just link to this article. I fixed it but now a bot restore the wrong interwiki. Can someone please fix this mess? Thanks. --Andreateletrabajo (talk) 18:33, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Pop Chart Ranks[edit]

I have noticed that some of the US Pop rankings aren't coming from the chart with the song achieved its peak position. In the case of 'I Want You, I Need You, I Love', it's a #3 hit on the Top 100 and #1 on the Best Sellers list yet the former peak is listed. In contrast, 'I Was The One' went to #23 on the Top 100 and #19 on the Disc Jockeys list ... and this time the Top 100 rank isn't used. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WolfSpear (talk • contribs) 06:13, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Certifications[edit]

I edited the sentence 'The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) first began tracking sales of Elvis Presley in 1958, who didn't receive his first Gold Album award until 1958' because (1) the RIAA began tracking sales of anybody in 1958, when the gold single and album awards were established; (2) consequently, saying that Elvis 'didn't receive' an award 'until 1958' is misleading, because nobody received any gold album awards from the RIAA until then; and (3) Elvis didn't receive a gold album award in 1958 anyway, but he did receive a gold single that year (his first gold album came in 1960). --Metropolitan90(talk) 01:13, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

flip[edit]

I've noticed in the singles chart the word flip is used. What does that mean? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.80.110.225 (talk) 18:11, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

I think it means that it didn't chart itself on that particular chart, but it was the flip side of a song that did. ElvisFan1981 (talk) 20:16, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

If that is the case the information should be removed. It's not typical for a discography to list the B sides of singles as if they were releases in their own right, and that is not what the sub-heading suggests the section is for. M.T.S.W.A. (talk) 23:04, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

Merger proposal[edit]

I am re-opening this discussion. There are currently three articles documenting Elvis Presley's singles and much of this is overkill and/or redundant:Elvis Presley singles discography currently lists U.S. infomation only. List of Elvis Presley hit singles also has a U.S.-centric view, as well as many formatting problems, particularly the inclusion of 'weeks at number one' numbers that clutter up the tables and aren't used in any other discography pages. The List of Elvis Presley international hit singles also has the same formatting errors, not to mention the separation as all non-U.S. countries grouped together as 'international'. What was the reasoning behind this info being separated into so many articles? I'm suggesting that this all be merged together to adhere to uniformity of other artist discographies. - eo (talk) 18:18, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

–As a user from the UK who just tried to find some singles information for Elvis and found this horrendously difficult due to all the various pages, I AGREE, please merge them.—ASM 14th October 2015

'Singles only'[edit]

I spotted a number of errors where a single was noted as being 'single only' in the Album field. For example, Joshua Fit the Battle and His Hand in Mine were not 'singles only' but were taken from the (albeit several-year-old) His Hand in Mine album. Easy Question was released as a single several years after appearing on an album. These need to be policed and corrected. 68.146.70.124 (talk) 22:40, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Release dates[edit]

I'm browsing the Elvis songs and checking release dates, chart #'s, etc. I noticed that one song says it was released in December of '55, yet it charted #5 in July '55. How can that be? It charted before it was even released?! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shirley449 (talk • contribs) 01:29, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Page re-formatting/re-organization[edit]

This has been a couple of months in the making, but I have finally reorganized this page to make it easier to read and match the formatting to the way a singles discography should be per wiki standards. I have also replaced all the dead source links with working links.

I hope this makes it much easier for everyone to browse for singles information!Benjichilders (talk) 22:01, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

The page looks confusing with the b-sides being attached to it. I was wondering if you can also include the b-sides into the a-sides. Why split them up? It looks confusing because I can't figure out what is the next single that came after Heartbreak Hotel for example. Which it was I was the one which the song charted. Don't make a separate section for b-sides. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bryan1518 (talk • contribs) 23:57, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

I think the issue you're having with the page comes from a lack of understanding on how singles are released. The A-side ('Heartbreak Hotel' for example) is the single, the plug, the intended promotional track being sent to radio. The B-side (in this case, 'I Was the One') is just an additional song, the flip. Due to Elvis' overwhelming popularity almost all of his B-sides charted, but that does not make them singles. You made a comment about not knowing what single came next, the next single was 'I Want You, I Need You, I Love You'. That's why the page is laid out that way, so the next single is easily identifiable. Another issue you mentioned having with the page was not knowing how many No. 1 singles Elvis had in a year, all 18 of his No. 1 songs on the US Billboard Hot 100 were A-sides, with the exception of the double A-side 'Hound Dog' / 'Don't Be Cruel'. All 18 are present in the singles section. As for other artists not having a charted B-side section, if they don't have that section on their singles discography pages that's because they haven't had any B-sides chart. The few times an artist has had a B-side chart they do have that section on their pages, for examples see George Strait singles discography, Alabama discography, Dolly Parton singles discography and Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton discography. For further information on A-sides and B-sides see A-side and B-side. I hope this makes the page make more sense to you! Benjichilders (talk) 05:11, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Is there any way we can look into adding Cashbox and/or their country and R&B charts (and in the 2000s, the BB Sales chart) because pre-75-ish, Cashbox was just as as important and popular as Billboard was. Also, I understand how the new A-side/B-side system works, but it’s time consuming if it is a “flip” to scroll up all the way to the 70’s or something to find out the A-side peak. If we can’t combine those maybe we can include the non-charting B-sides with the charting A-sides like in the previous version of this page. With all these suggestions, I do have to say that I love this new update with all the charts combined; it looks great! EPBeatles (talk) 20:33, 27 January 2019

Listing the number of number 1 singles[edit]

This post states that Elvis Presley had 33 number 1 singles, but that is deceiving and maybe that section should be removed. In the United States, Elvis Presley had 17 number 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Beatles had 20 number 1 hits on that metric. In the United Kingdom, Elvis Presley had 21 number 1 hits on the Record Retailer (now Music Week), but this is debatable as three of these hits were re-issues of songs that were already number 1 hits decades earlier. The Beatles had 17 number 1 hits on that metric. The number 33 in this post combines both metrics, plus US Cashbox and UK New Musical Express, which are not official. Dkf12 (talk) 14:32, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

Record World / Music Vendor Charts[edit]

Is there any objection to adding the US chart information for Record World / Music Vendor? I think it would add some good information. For example, some of Elvis' early singles made the Music Vendor country chart while they did not make the Billboard or Cash Box chart, because Music Vendor was a top 50 chart while the others were only a top 15 chart. (MHS1976 (talk) 18:48, 17 August 2020 (UTC))

Previous singles discography was much better.[edit]

The merge has caused many issues, and solved none. The order of charting songs in the U.S. is extremely hard to follow now. 'American centrism' was used as a reason for the merge, but Elvis was American, so it would make the most since to have a U.S. centric discography and however many other pages were needed or desired for other countries. No one country should have to settle for being lumped together as 'International'.

Elvis Presley Discography Singles Album

Dates of release, B-sides, and at times even the version of the song differed country to country, none of this is easily conveyed in the current article.

The old article listing A-side/B-side also nicely dealt with the charting songs from Extended Plays. The excuse that 'other singers discographies are not organized that way' is ridiculous, as the number of charting songs for Elvis that were not A-sides is extremely substantial. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clinclink (talk • contribs) 23:45, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
