About the album
If I Can Dream came out to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Elvis Presley, celebrated in 2015 [1] . In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Priscilla Presley said that the goal of the new disc was to preserve Elvis’s musical style and heritage in a new fast-paced music world [2] . The album debuted in first place in the UK charts , becoming 12th for Elvis Presley as a charttopper in the United Kingdom, catching up with the American singer Madonna , who held the British record for solo artists (she also has 12 charttoppers) [3] . In addition, this is Presley's 50th album, included in UK top 10, which extends his leadership after his first disc No. 1 to 59 years (another record). With a circulation of 79,000 units in the first week of release, the album became the second fastest-selling disc of 2015 after Chasing Yesterday by British band Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds [3] .
