Elvis at 90: Still Rocking the Charts, Making Millions, and Shaping His Legacy (00:02:53)
Elvis Presley BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.I am Biosnap AI, and in the last few days the King has been proving once again that being gone is not the same as being quiet. According to Forbes, Elvis Presley is still an economic powerhouse from beyond the grave, ranking **number 7 on the 2025 highest paid dead celebrities list** with an estimated 17 million dollars in earnings this year, driven largely by music catalog income and name image and likeness deals[4]. Forbes also reminds readers that the bizarre Graceland foreclosure scam earlier this year was quashed in time for the Memphis estate to remain under the control of granddaughter Riley Keough, a legal dustup that will sit as a curious late chapter in his financial biography[4]. Over in Tupelo, the story is more emotional than fiscal. The Elvis Information Network reports that **Tupelo Hardware**, the downtown store where Gladys Presley bought her 11 year old son his first guitar in 1946, will close its doors on December 31 after nearly a century in business[4]. City leaders have moved to buy the historic buildings to preserve the site as a core stop on the Elvis pilgrimage route, a development with real long term significance for how his origin story will be experienced by future fans[4].

Elvis Presley's Enduring Legacy: From Tupelo to the Top of the Charts (00:04:28)
Elvis Presley BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Elvis Presley may have left the building nearly half a century ago, but in the past few days his presence has felt remarkably current, commercially potent, and historically consequential. The biggest biographical development concerns **Tupelo Hardware**, the Mississippi store where his mother bought him that first guitar in 1946; city officials in Tupelo have now moved to buy the landmark buildings to preserve them as part of the towns heritage tourism circuit, after the Booth family announced the store will close at the end of the year, a move local leaders clearly see as vital to safeguarding the origin story of the King for future generations, according to Elvis Information Network.[4][4] On the business front, Presley remains a posthumous moneymaker. Forbes recently ranked him the number 7 highest paid dead celebrity of 2025, with an estimated 17 million dollars in earnings, most of it flowing from music catalog revenue and licensing of his name and likeness, as reported via Elvis Information Network from the Forbes list.[4] That same report notes that his estate, largely controlled by granddaughter Riley Keough, successfully fended off a bizarre attempted identity theft scheme earlier this year that tried to force a sale of Graceland, underlining how contested and valuable the Presley brand remains.[4] On the charts this week, Elvis is once again a seasonal powerhouse. The specialist site Elvis Day By Day reports that **Blue Christmas** has climbed to number 29 on the main Billboard Hot 100, risen sharply on the Global 200, and is a top tier performer on multiple holiday and streaming tallies, while The Classic Christmas Album is back inside the top 10 of Billboards Top Country Albums and surging on rock, holiday, and global album charts.[1] Forbes has also singled out Blue Christmas and The Classic Christmas Album as evergreen holiday performers, emphasizing how his catalog now operates as a recurring annual event.[4] Culturally, the past few days have seen a flurry of Elvis themed live tributes that keep his stage persona in circulation rather than in a museum case. In Georgia, the Georgia Elvis Festival staged a full Elvis Christmas Show featuring multiple tribute artists running through his Yuletide songbook, captured on video and promoted as a major seasonal draw.[2] In Minnesota and the greater St. Cloud region, Anthony Shore is headlining An Elvis Christmas, marketed explicitly as an evening celebrating Elvis Presleys Christmas catalog.[5][10] Other events, like the continuing One Night With The King production and Dean Z The Ultimate Elvis tour, remain on calendars into 2025, reinforcing his continued role as a live entertainment franchise, according to venue and college announcements.[8][9] On social media, much of the chatter in recent days has centered on three threads that fans and commentators are treating as long term storylines rather than passing notes. First, the Tupelo Hardware sale has been widely shared as a key preservation victory for the Presley narrative, with fan sites framing it as saving the place where destiny bent toward rock and roll.[4] Second, chart watchers are celebrating Blue Christmas creeping up the Hot 100 and global charts, speculating whether it could eventually reach a modern number one on genre streaming lists; that ambition is at least partly grounded in data, as Elvis Day By Day notes the track is now just short of the top of the Rock Streaming Songs ranking.[1] Third, some fan forums are buzzing about the still unreleased biographical project EPiC referenced by Elvis Information Network in its December news wrap, but details on that films status remain sketchy, and any talk of final casting, release dates, or plot changes should be treated as unconfirmed until backed by studio announcements.[4]Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
Elvis: The King of Christmas Reigns Supreme in 2025 (00:03:03)
Elvis Presley BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.This is Biosnap AI, and in the last few days the King has been busier in the headlines than many living stars. According to The Commercial Appeal, Graceland was just voted the No 1 Best Holiday Historic Home Tour in the US for the eighth straight year, with its 2025 Christmas tours running through December 23, underscoring how Elvis long ago crossed from pop star to permanent American landmark.[14] Parade reports that USA Today readers gave Presley’s mansion the top holiday honor again, with more than half a million visitors a year filing past the blue lights, nativity scene, Santa and sleigh, and treasured Presley family Christmas artifacts, a tradition that keeps adding fresh biographical weight to his image as the patron saint of rock and roll Christmas.[4] On the charts, the Elvis Information Network notes that Blue Christmas has once again stormed back onto the Billboard rankings, returning to the Global 200, the Streaming Rock Songs list, and climbing key holiday charts, while The Classic Christmas Album reenters the Billboard 200, proof that his seasonal persona is now a recurring annual chapter in his life story rather than a nostalgic footnote.[1] EIN also relays Forbes data that Elvis ranks No 7 on the 2025 Highest Paid Dead Celebrities list with 17 million dollars in estimated earnings, a dip from the post biopic boom but still a staggering confirmation that the Presley business machine, from music and licensing to Graceland tourism, remains one of the world’s most powerful posthumous brands.[1][3] Parade further highlights that Graceland, now solely controlled by granddaughter Riley Keough after the legal wrangles following Lisa Marie Presley’s death, continues to be the axis around which the modern Elvis narrative spins, especially during the holidays.[4] Looking ahead, Travel and Tour World reports that Graceland has announced a five day Elvis birthday celebration for early January, with concerts, panels featuring close associates like Jerry Schilling, and the first US screenings of Baz Luhrmann’s new concert film project EPiC Elvis Presley in Concert, billed as a fresh chance to hear his own side of the story through rediscovered recordings and poised to reshape public understanding of his live legacy if it delivers on the hype.[11][13] There are, as always, whispers online about secret Graceland deals and hidden family tensions, but at this point those items remain in the realm of unconfirmed fan speculation rather than verified news.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
Elvis Presley's Christmas Surge: Blue Christmas Hits, Graceland Wins, and an Epic New Film (00:03:25)
Elvis Presley BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.This is Biosnap AI, and the King has been unusually busy for a man gone since 1977. According to Elvis Day By Day, Elvis Presleys Blue Christmas has surged yet again on the charts in the last few days, jumping to number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reentering multiple U.S. and global streaming rankings, while The Classic Christmas Album rocketed into the mid 50s on the Billboard 200 with more than 17000 equivalent units moved this week.[1][6] Elvis Information Network notes that Blue Christmas is now back on the Billboard Global 200 and Streaming Rock Songs lists and that Elvis himself has climbed on the Billboard Artists chart as December listening turns decisively his way.[4] On the home front, Elvis Presleys Graceland has just been voted Best Holiday Historic Home Tour in the United States yet again, with the Commercial Appeal reporting it has now taken the title for an eighth straight year, driven by those classic blue lights and the life size Nativity that date to his own lifetime decorations.[9][11] That continued prestige keeps Graceland not just a shrine but a living engine in the Presley business story. On screen, the most potentially biographically significant news is Baz Luhrmanns new project. The Commercial Appeal and Deadline report that the first teaser has dropped for EPiC Elvis Presley in Concert, an IMAX scale documentary built around never before seen performance footage, long lost Vegas era film and rediscovered audio in which Elvis himself purportedly tells my side of the story through archival recordings.[12][14][13] If the finished film delivers what the teaser promises, it could meaningfully reshape how future audiences hear Elvis narrate his own career. Culturally, the King is everywhere in seasonal tribute. Magnolia Tribune previews The Ultimate Elvis Christmas in Meridian, Mississippi, fronted by 2023 Ultimate Elvis Tribute Champion Cote Deonath, explicitly framed as a celebration of Elviss historic ties to the town stretching back to his 1953 Jimmie Rodgers Festival appearance.[2] Shaw Local reports another major tribute production, Dean Z The Ultimate Elvis Christmas, set to rock Joliet later this month, complete with big band, horns, and multi era Elvis staging.[5] Meanwhile, even federal bureaucracy cannot escape him. The Washington Times reports that a Government Accountability Office audit found a sponsor application filed in the name Elvis Presley in a Biden administration migrant parole program, an almost certainly bogus use of the Kings identity that nonetheless keeps his name in current political headlines.[7] There are routine fan site rumors and social media chatter speculating about further unreleased recordings tied to EPiC, but as of now no major outlet has verified any concrete new track list or release date, so those whispers remain strictly unconfirmed.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
Elvis Resurrected: Baz Luhrmann's EPiC Concert Film Ignites Screen in 2026 (00:03:12)
Elvis Presley BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.This is Biosnap AI, and over the past few days the King has been unusually busy for a man gone since 1977. According to Deadline, the dominant headline is Baz Luhrmanns new concert film EPiC Elvis Presley in Concert, which just dropped its first teaser, promising a feature length big screen experience built from newly restored archival footage of Elvis in his late 60s and Vegas prime, synced to his own live vocals and a rare 45 minute autobiographical audio track that lets him narrate his story in his own voice[1][8][10]. IndieWire and other film outlets report that Luhrmann is positioning EPiC as part concert movie, part intimate retrospective, a spiritual successor to his 2022 biopic and a potential awards season player that could further cement the modern screen image of Elvis for a new generation[1][8]. Country radio trade coverage notes that the trailer release is being treated like a major event, with Sony and Luhrmann leaning into IMAX and premium large format rollouts in early 2026, a move that underscores how valuable the Presley catalog and brand remain nearly five decades on[4][10]. On the legacy and business front, the Elvis Information Network highlights a fresh Forbes list naming Elvis the number seven highest paid dead celebrity of 2025, with an estimated 17 million dollars in earnings driven by music catalog revenue, Graceland tourism, and name and likeness deals, even as income dips from the post Luhrmann biopic spike[3]. EIN also revisits the bizarre but very real Graceland fraud case earlier this year, noting that a bogus attempt to foreclose and auction off the mansion was stopped in court, with ownership remaining with the Presley estate under granddaughter Riley Keough[3]. In the world of biography and reputation, CBS News just aired a new segment tied to Peter Guralnicks book The Colonel and the King, in which the acclaimed Elvis biographer reframes Colonel Tom Parker not as a cartoon villain but as a fiercely loyal and increasingly troubled partner whose gambling and limitations helped shape both the scale of Presleys success and the tragedy of his decline[7]. That nuanced reassessment, landing in heavy rotation on a major network, may have more long term impact on how future histories describe Elvis and his fateful management relationship than any single fan rumor or tabloid dust up this week.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
Elvis Estate Strikes Gold: Epic Concert Film, Auction Treasures, and Enduring Holiday Magic (00:02:57)
Elvis Presley BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.This is Biosnap AI, and the King has been unusually busy for a man gone since 1977. The headline item in the Elvis universe is the ramp up to the concert film EPiC, an archive driven big screen project built from long lost Graceland footage and 8mm reels, which drew a standing ovation and raves like a burst of concert film adrenaline when it premiered at Toronto, according to Vogue and Variety as quoted by Elvis Information Network.[1] Elvis InfoNet reports that after a limited one week engagement the film is set to hit theaters widely on February 27, with advance fan buzz framing it as Elvis effectively telling his side of the story from beyond the grave.[1] In industry terms, that has real long term biographical weight, reshaping how new audiences will visually remember his stage power.On the business front, Forbes latest list of highest paid dead celebrities has Elvis clocking in at number seven with an estimated 17 million dollars in earnings this year, down from 50 million the year before, as summarized by Elvis Information Network from the Forbes report.[1] The same coverage notes that the family, led by granddaughter and estate controller Riley Keough, still owns just 15 percent of Elvis Presley Enterprises, yet the catalogue and name image likeness deals have generated roughly 1.2 billion dollars over the past 25 years.[1] That mix of slowing annual income but massive cumulative haul is central to the modern Elvis story.The auction circuit is keeping his legend tangible. Something About Rocks reports that a bespoke Mathey Tissot automatic calendar wristwatch, commissioned by Elvis around 1970 and gifted to his periodontist Dr Max Shapiro and hygienist Jewell Shapiro, has gone under the hammer at Bonhams New York as part of a Fine Watches sale, another reminder of his famous generosity and his long relationship with Memphis jeweller Harry Levitch.[3] The hammer price and buyer identity have not been widely reported yet, so any talk of record shattering sums is still speculative.In the culture pages, Parade marked the 57th anniversary of the 68 Comeback Special with fresh reporting on behind the scenes drama, emphasizing how that NBC show resurrected his career and cemented his legacy.[8] Meanwhile, Elvis focused Christmas tribute shows from Scot Bruce in Connecticut and others continue to pack holiday calendars, underlining a seasonal demand that never seems to fade.[9]Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Elvis Presley BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.This week’s headlines saw the King’s legacy burn brighter than ever with major developments both nostalgic and fresh, cementing his reign as pop culture royalty nearly half a century after his passing.

The grand tribute tour will honor the breadth of Elvis’s career, with full dates and cities now revealed, marking it as one of the year’s premier global music retrospectives and sure to stoke fan fervor in multiple countries. Not to be outdone, early November was abuzz in Texas with the Garland Cultural Arts’ Reflections of the King musical tribute, which drew crowds eager to relive the ’68 Comeback magic with live performances and elaborate costumes.Business news took on a slightly surprising character as Restaurant Hospitality reports that Elvis Presley Enterprises has launched a new international franchising drive, licensing EAD International Group to open “Elvis American Diners” across Eastern and Central Europe. These restaurants will blend themed décor, American diner fare, and the King’s greatest hits, expanding Elvis’s culinary and cultural footprint well beyond Graceland and into markets from Georgia to Hungary, making the brand more global than it has been in decades.Graceland itself was in the spotlight with a special holiday announcement, Parade revealed, promising new seasonal exhibits and experiences for visitors, while historic photos and the ongoing “Colonel Parker’s World of Show Business” exhibit, as highlighted by The Commercial Appeal, kept the Memphis pilgrimage spirit alive. Social channels this week were awash in excitement for the annual Elvis & Co.

Elvis Reigns: 2025's Memphis Mania, Untold Stories, and Rare Releases (00:03:51)
Elvis Presley BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Elvis Presley continues to reign as one of the world's most enduring icons, and this November has brought a fresh wave of headlines and happenings around his legacy that would intrigue fans and cultural watchers alike. Forbes ranks Elvis as the seventh highest-paid deceased celebrity of 2025, with $17 million in annual earnings, mostly attributed to music catalog deals and estate licensing—not to mention the persistent allure of Graceland.

Elvis Presley's Enduring Legacy: Graceland, Charts, and Beyond (00:03:39)
Elvis Presley BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Elvis Presley’s name has dominated headlines yet again this November as Graceland, his iconic Memphis estate, announced the 2025 milestone Elvis Birthday Celebration, set for January and promising three nights of concerts, exclusive tours, and yet-to-be-named special guests. The buzz erupted early as ticket sales went live this past Friday and fans scrambled for premium packages, with the Pink Cadillac and Blue Suede Birthday Packages selling fast according to Graceland’s official channels. Presley’s influence was also visible in recent live tribute events, leading up to “One Night in Memphis” on November 22, a stage show reenacting that legendary Sun Records jam session where Elvis joined Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis at the Macomb Center for the Performing Arts. The King’s albums continue their slow climb on the charts even decades after his death; ‘ELV1S 30 #1 Hits’ jumped eight spots on the Official Album chart this week, and ‘The Essential Elvis Presley’ gained four spots on Billboard’s Top Country Album chart, a clear sign his musical footprint endures. On the holiday front, ‘Elvis’ Christmas Album’ surged from No. 45 to No. 22 on the Top Holiday Album chart, while the compilation ‘Merry Christmas … Love, Elvis’ slipped out of the rankings.In the business realm, Presley’s estate is thriving.

The family’s stake in EPE is now just 15 percent, with most profits sustained through curated licensing deals and publishing rights management. For context, while Michael Jackson again leads the dead-celebrity earnings rankings—boasting $105 million for the year—Presley remains firmly in the top 10, cementing his place as a commercial legend.On social media, Presley’s legacy flourished through Elvis Tribute Artist contests, with the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist contest winner announced during Elvis Week 2025. Fans exchanged nostalgia and excitement for upcoming Graceland events, and video news reports chronicled chart successes and new album releases. While rumors swirl regarding future film projects—such as a mooted new Elvis biopic targeting a 2026 premiere—there are no verified confirmations from the Presley estate or authentic representatives. Beyond earnings, headlines focused on Presley’s enduring cultural impact, from sold-out hotel brunches at The Guest House at Graceland to ongoing celebrations of his military service through special tours. Each of these developments underscores a simple truth: Elvis Presley remains an unstoppable American icon, still shaking up newsfeeds and business columns nearly fifty years after his passing.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Elvis Presley's Enduring Legacy: Priscilla's Memoir, Immersive Experiences, and More (00:03:49)
Elvis Presley BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.The past few days in the Elvis Presley universe have brought a flurry of headlines, both reverent and revealing, reaffirming his unmistakable grip on popular culture. The most widely circulated story centers on Priscilla Presley, whose new memoir "Softly, As I Leave You" is commanding top spots in Amazon’s actor and entertainer biography lists. Media coverage has zeroed in on Priscilla’s heartfelt retelling of when her late daughter Lisa Marie sold a majority stake in Elvis Presley Enterprises to Bob Sillerman’s CKX, relinquishing 85 percent of the estate. Priscilla, still visibly haunted by that decision, claims Lisa Marie was struggling both financially and personally at the time and didn’t have the best advisors—a move Priscilla frames as a loss of steady legacy income and, in her words, a devastating moment for the family. Notably, this book adds new texture to Priscilla’s life and to the Presley family saga, including post-1985 developments and intimate reflections on tragic family losses. It’s a story likely to echo long-term in the Presley legacy, with even critics acknowledging the book as an essential addition to the canon, and its emotional honesty making headlines everywhere, from the Elvis Information Network to entertainment outlets.On the music and event front, excitement is building for the new immersive theater experience Elvis Evolution in London, which sets out to reframe the King's legacy using next-generation technology, highlighting stories from his youth and aiming to introduce his music to an even younger audience.
