On March 3, 1956, “Heartbreak Hotel” entered the Billboard pop chart at 
number 68, and the Country and Western chart at number nine. Within

also made the top five on the R&B chart, the first Presley single to chart
there. This resulted in the song becoming only the second single to reach
all three Billboard charts, after Carl Perkins‘ "Blue Suede Shoes". It spent
a total of twenty-seven weeks in the top 100. By April, "Heartbreak Hotel” 
became a million-seller.
