The release leads into "Elvis Week," a celebration to be held August 10-17 in Memphis to commemorate the 35th anniversary of Presley's passing.

Participants were asked to cast their votes at http://www.iamanelvisfan.com for their top three songs by Presley in seven musical genres provided by Legacy: '50s, '60s, Country, Movies, Love Songs, Gospel, and In Concert. Facebook and Twitter users were provided with links to share and spread the experience.

Fans who voted were given the opportunity to pre-order the I AM AN ELVIS FAN album and have their names included in the final package, space permitting.

The comprehensive "I AM AN ELVIS FAN" campaign also invited fans to upload a photo of themselves to be used in an Elvis photo mosaic created by EPE licensee Fan Mosaics. The mosaic created from nearly 8,000 uploaded photos will be used for both the I AM AN ELVIS FAN album cover and a limited edition poster (available for pre-order at http://www.Elvis.com/ElvisFan).
