Elvis Presley's Music Continues to Triumph in the Streaming Era

Published January 1, 2024

Despite the era of Elvis Presley's peak being far removed from the digital age, the iconic rock and country star's music is still garnering impressive success on modern streaming platforms. Even after decades since his prime, Presley's work remains relevant and is enjoying popularity on services such as Spotify, demonstrating the timeless appeal of his songs.

Elvis Hits the Streaming Charts

In a testament to his enduring legacy, Elvis Presley has recently notched a couple of significant accomplishments on the Billboard Country Streaming Songs chart. This chart tracks the top-streamed country genre songs in the United States. Among these, Presley's classic hit “Blue Christmas” has climbed to a new peak, reaching the No. 4 spot. Impressively, the song is also marking a full year's presence on the chart, indicative of its lasting resonance with listeners.

Seasonal Favorites Re-enter the Fray

Alongside “Blue Christmas,” Presley's “Here Comes Santa Claus” makes a re-entry further down the chart, landing at No. 16. Festive spirit and increased holiday streaming seem to be contributing factors, as listeners nostalgically turn to Presley's Christmas songs. Although “Here Comes Santa Claus” previously reached No. 7 on the Country Streaming Songs chart, expectations are moderated for its performance in the current season.

Elvis's Posthumous Chart Success

Elvis Presley has a total of three tracks that have made it onto the Country Streaming Songs chart since its inception. This includes “Silent Night,” which peaked at No. 17 in 2017. These achievements are all the more remarkable considering they occurred posthumously, decades after Presley's death, underscoring the lasting impact of his music on new generations of fans.
