A month after his death, Elvis Presley had 27 albums and 9 singles in the Top 100 charts. 'Moody Blue' was the #1 album while 'Way Down' was #1 on the singles chart, (putting him equal with The Beatles, each amassing 17 #1 hits).
On this day in 2023, an album sleeve signed by all four members of Led Zeppelin sold for £15,000 at auction, despite not containing the actual record. The cardboard sleeve of the 1973 album Houses Of The Holy was only estimated to sell for between £1,200 and £1,800. Items signed by all band members are rare, due to drummer John Bonham's 1980 death and the band's subsequent split. The seller acquired the autographs during a chance encounter at Gatwick Airport in 1977.
And on this day in 2019, Sir Elton John was featured on a new set of Royal Mail stamps in the UK to celebrate his contribution to music. The singer-songwriter became only the second individual music artist to be given such an honour, after David Bowie was featured on a set in 2017.
