The immortal King hit the No.1 spot in the US with his double
single DON’T BE CRUEL / HOUND DOG this day 69 years ago,
on 11 August 1956.

The pair of songs remained at the top seat for a record-breaking 11 weeks.
Presley would hold the record until he was surpassed in 1992, by soul band
Boyz II Men’s sugary tearjerker End Of The Road.
