Billboard confirmed this morning that the records will remain published and intact on their site. This outcome serves as a formal correction to their previous plan. We will monitor their database going forward to ensure the status of these entries remains secure.
I am starting this petition because I learned from a friend of mine this morning that American Billboard are set to delete Elvis Presley's 11 number one records from the site. I think that this would be a complete travesty for America's musical history and for Elvis's family, friends and fans.
As far as we can, we will help prevent this and take any necessary action that we can to stop this from happening. I will send this petition to as many people, companies that I am able to do so. I have been a life long Elvis fan, and cannot and will not allow this to happen.
I am currently finalizing a formal letter to the archive department at Billboard to demand a meeting regarding their decision. We are also identifying legal counsel to determine if this removal violates any contractual or historical preservation standards. Your signatures have provided the necessary leverage to get our communications reviewed by their public relations team.
