Elvis sold more than 1.5 billion records.
Michael Jackson sold a little bit more than 750 million.
So Elvis has sold more than twice as much records as Michael Jackson.
Becides, when Elvis first started out in the 50`ies, the only markets they had to sell was western Europe and North America (+ Australia), and they did not
have the same purchasing power as the 80`ies and 90`ties.
AND it the 50`ies, the total population in the world was 3 billion people. Now its 7 billion and almost the whole world has a CD- player.
In that time, people got married when they were 15. And Elvis waited a LONG time before he went to bed with Priscilla. She told that herself in a documentary. They never had sex in Germany.
Elvis was a humble person. Michael demaned to be called "King of Pop" otherwise he would`nt go on stage in London at the Brit Awards.
Elvis had respect of everybody, old, young, his fans, and he gave so much of himself that it killed him.
