Extended Plays and Chart Information
Below is a list of Elvis Presley’s hit Extended Play (EP) or Short Form Albums. Included is their highest chart position on the US Billboard and UK EP charts as well as their RIAA sales certifications. Early in Elvis’ career, EP’s were listed on the Billboard Album Chart. Billboard published a separate EP chart in the 1950s. The UK had a separate EP chart for most of the 1960s. Sometimes songs included on an EP would become hits and make the singles chart. As the popularity of albums increased during the 1960s, the popularity of EP’s waned.

“The civility which money will purchase, is rarely extended to those who have none.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“He plays o’the viol-de-gamboys, and speaks three or four languages word for word without book, and hath all the good gifts of nature.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Perhaps in His wisdom the Almighty is trying to show us that a leader may chart the way, may point out the road to lasting peace, but that many leaders and many peoples must do the building.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“Phenomenal nature shadows him wherever he goes. Clouds in the staring sky transmit to one another, by means of slow signs, incredibly detailed information regarding him. His inmost thoughts are discussed at nightfall, in manual alphabet, by darkly gesticulating trees. Pebbles or stains or sunflecks form patterns representing in some awful way messages which he must intercept. Everything is a cipher and of everything he is the theme.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
