The albums discography of Elvis Presley began in 1956 with the release of his debut album, Elvis Presley.

He is one of the best selling artists of all time, selling up to 500 million records globally.[1][2] Despite the absence of his many hits during his peak years prior to October 1958 (as well as all of his top-selling albums prior to 1992), Billboard still ranks Presley as 13th on their Greatest of All Time artists list and 4th on their Greatest of All Time Hot 100 list.[3] Music historian Joel Whitburn ranked Presley as the No. 1 charting single and album artist of all time in the US (both Billboard and Cashbox).[4] Elvis' Christmas Album remains the biggest selling holiday album of all time, selling over 20 million copies worldwide.[5] According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), Presley has sold 146.5 million certified albums in the US, making him the third top-selling album artist in the country. He also holds the record for most RIAA certified albums with 101 (44 Gold, 32 Platinum, 24 Multi-Platinum, and 1 Diamond) and certifications (207). As for extended play albums, he has a record 16 certified by the RIAA (6 Gold, 8 Platinum, and 2 Multi-Platinum) and 28 certifications.[6]

Follow That Dream Records

FTD (Follow That Dream), RCA/Sony Music's Official Elvis Presley collector's label, was established in 1999 to serve the dedicated Elvis collector and to complement the commercial and artistic level of RCA's retail release schedule by issuing repertoire that is considered of interest to serious Elvis fans and collectors, material that is generally not part of mainstream RCA label releases to the public at large.

There are the original "collector's CDs" with CDs ranging from soundboard-recorded concerts (recorded from the mixing desk in mono) to full RCA professionally recorded concerts in stereo and CDs consisting of unreleased material from recording sessions, such as The Jungle Room Sessions, Memphis Sessions, etc. Later FTD introduced the Elvis Classic Album Series, releases of the original albums in deluxe 7" size packaging with a booklet and usually a second CD of outtakes from the same period as the recordings on the album. There is also the Movie Soundtrack Series, usually released as a single CD but again in deluxe 7" packaging with booklet.[58][59] More recent releases include "book(s)+CD(s)" releases, which usually include books focusing on a particular part of Elvis' career plus related recordings from that era), and the 8" "complete sessions" releases, which contain the most complete versions of recording sessions for studio and soundtrack recordings (most often as box sets).

FTDs are released as limited edition sets (the quantities produced per release has decreased over time, reportedly due to less demand); partly for these reasons, and because the FTD market is split worldwide, FTD releases have never charted on any chart in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, elsewhere in Europe, Australia, Japan, or any other countries to date. Nevertheless, there are 277 (including 9 box sets) albums/EPs listed below as of June 2026.
