Weeks at number 1 notation
The tables in this article include the weeks at number 1 noted in the table with a number inside. This is done to provide the information in the most concise and clear way. Considering the number of number 1 hits that Elvis had on various charts, mentioning the weeks at number 1 in the text of the article is impractical.

This is an exception to the Record charts format guidelines. It should be noted that the Record charts format guidelines allows for exceptions as follows:

“Editors should follow it, except where common sense and the occasional exception will improve an article.”

It should also be noted that Record charts format guidelines are guidelines and not policies. Guidelines are advisory in nature where Policies are mandatory:

“Policies are considered a standard that all editors should follow, whereas guidelines are more advisory in nature. Both need to be approached with common sense: adhere to the spirit rather than the letter of the rules, and be prepared to ignore the rules on the rare occasions when they conflict with the goal of improving the encyclopedia.”

“Unlike policies, guidelines are usually more flexible and more likely to have exceptions and could be changed and improved more easily.” (MHS1976 (talk) 23:52, 3 November 2008 (UTC))

Merge
I really don't see the point of keeping this article and the singles discography separate. Hell, even the list of Elvis Presley hit singles seems unnecessary.

I propose we merge all three pages, or at least this and the singles discography page. There are virtually no other artists who have separate pages for their singles in their home country and their singles abroad. In my opinion, all it does is create confusion and American centrism. I understand that the list of hit singles may be for the purpose of highlighting his commercial successes given that the singer has released hundreds of singles, but we should take into consideration if it is a worthwhile to Wikipedia.
