This record-breaking achievement places Elvis Presley as the only solo recording artist to have a UK #1 album in each of past five decades, beginning in 1956 with Elvis Presley Rock N' Roll.  

Produced by Nick Patrick and Don Reedman -- and executive produced by Priscilla Presley -- If I Can Dream creates a fuller, richer sound behind classic vocals.  The collection also highlights Elvis Presley's diverse musical tastes and appreciation for great vocalists spanning a variety of genres and features classic Elvis vocal performances with brand-new orchestral accompaniment, a duet with best-selling Jazz Pop singer Michael Buble, and appearances by Italian operatic pop trio Il Volo and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame guitarist Duane Eddy

Executive producer Priscilla Presley said: "This is an album that Elvis always really wanted to do and he would have been so pleased to know his fans are still there and they continue to love his music. The most talented team put this album together and helped us all realize an unfulfilled dream."

Here is what critics have been saying:
