September 25th in Elvis History

from Today in Elvis History · host Evin 'Elvis' Breen-Presley

It's September twenty-fifth, and on this day in 1956... Elvis received a telegram from RCA celebrating an unprecedented achievement: his single *Love Me Tender* had been certified a gold record **before its official release**. With over 918,000 advance orders, it became the first record in industry history to reach gold status purely on pre-sales—another clear sign that Elvis wasn’t just popular… he was a phenomenon.
