Presley has been inducted into four music halls of fame, received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1971, and was nominated for fourteen [[Grammy Award]]s, winning three, all for gospel songs (ironically, though considered "The King of Rock and Roll", he never won a Grammy Award in a competitive rock category). He has also earned more than thirty number one hits, including the posthumous remix of "A Little Less Conversation". He also had ten #1 albums, tying him with [[Bruce Springsteen]] for number of #1 albums; only [[the Beatles]] (19) and [[Jay-Z]] (12) have more.
