Elvis Presley (1935–1977) was an American singer and actor who has received many awards and nominations during his lifetime and posthumously, for his work in music and film, his charitable endeavours, and military career. Known as the "King of Rock and Roll", Presley is one of the best-selling music artists ever.
Elvis Presley first gained recognition in the industry, when topped categories of "most promising" in various trade publications and consumer poll between 1954 and 1955.[1] Beginning in 1956, Presley won various accolades at the international level, including consecutive World's Top Male Artist awards from British music magazines Melody Maker and New Musical Express (NME),[2] becoming the most awarded artist in the NME Awards with 26 trophies won between 1956 and 1972.[3] Presley won inaugural NARM Best Selling Awards in 1959,[4] and eventually became the most awarded pop male artist in its history.[5] The same year, he received his first Grammy Awards nominations, winning a total of three awards in competitive categories during his life. In 1971, he was honored with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and the Grammy Trustees Award. Presley was posthumously recognized for his contributions with the first retrospective American Music Award of Merit in 1987, and the first Golden Hat Award by the Blues Music Awards in 1984. He won additional awards for his performance in films, including Laurel Awards and Photoplay Gold Medal Awards, while became the first "Double-Triple crown" winner in the history of Billboard charts in 1956.[6]
Presley is known for having been admitted into various halls.[7] He was recognized by the Guinness World Records in 2001, as the first performer to have ever been inducted into three different major music Hall of Fames: the Rock and Roll (1986), the Country Music (1998), and the Gospel Music Hall of Fame (2001).[8] He was also admitted at the Rockabilly (1997), Christian (2006) and Rhythm & Blues (2016) Hall of Fames. Library of Congress' National Film Registry and National Recording Registry as well as the Grammy Hall of Fame have preserved various of his works due to their historical significance. In addition, Graceland was listed by the National Historic Landmark and National Register of Historic Places.
Described by the White House as an "enduring American icon",[9] Presley was recognized with various civil awards and decorations, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom (highest U.S. civilian award) by U.S. president Donald Trump in 2018. As of 1961, Presley was bestowed with eleven honorary citizenship certificates,[10] and at least 13 U.S. states proclaimed the "Elvis Presley Day" as of 1980; a nationwide group was organized to attempt to establish the National "Elvis Presley Day", with Democratic congressman Harold Ford Sr. filling out a resolution to U.S Congress for its consideration.[11] Presley received a number of honorary law enforcement titles.[12] In mid-1950s, Mississippi Gov. James P. Coleman awarded him with a "scroll of honor" presenting a certificate calling him "American's No. 1 entertainer in the field of popular music", in addition to be called a favorite son.[13]
Towards the end of the 20th century, Elvis Presley was named as the "Entertainer of the Century" by TV Guide and other publications.[14] The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) also named him the Top Selling Male Rock Artist of the Century.[15]
