Elvis fan Victor Manuelabreu, a message board poster on the FECC forum has posted that there will be a press release coming soon from CEO Jack Soden, President of the EPE working in conjunction with the RIAA pertaining to new certifications for Elvis Presley.

 After years of research, It is believed that new independent audited figures have been located and will be established for Elvis Presley's United States album sales in correlation to new certifications. 

This is this list of albums awaiting certification by the RIAA.
1. An afternoon In the Garden - will be certified Gold.
2. White Christmas - will be certified Gold.
3. Elvis Country - will be upgraded to platinum 
4. Elvis By The Presleys - will be certified gold
5. The Essential Elvis Presley - will be upgraded to platinum 
6 Christmas Duets - will be certified gold. 
7. Pot Luck - will be certified gold
8. Love Letters - will be certified gold 
9. Good Times - will be certified Gold
10. Promised Land - will be certified gold.
11. Elvis Today - will be certified gold. 

Many of the soundtrack albums will also be tabulated with new certifications coupled with new upgrades in certifications for other Presley albums. These Soundtrack albums (as mentioned yesterday) should also receive posthumous RIAA certifications in 2014. Many of these are soundtracks that charted in the top ten when released, as noted below. 

1. Fun In Acapulco - will be certified Gold. Charted #3 on US charts :
2. It Happened At The World's Fair - will be certified Gold. Charted #4 on US charts:
3. Kissin Cousins - will be certified Gold. Charted #6 on US charts:
4. Harum Scarum - will be certified Gold. Charted #8 on US charts:
5. Paradise Hawaiian Style - will be certified Gold. Charted #15 on US Charts
6. Spinout - will be certified Gold. Charted #18 on US charts: 
7. Double Trouble - will be certified Gold. Charted #47 on US charts:
8. Clambake - will be certified Gold. Charted #40 on US charts:
9. Speedway - will be certified Gold. Charted #82 on US charts:

It seems that the Presley estate was tallying the amount of records to be certified by the RIAA all at one time. Elvis Presley is already the most certified artist in the history of popular music with a combined total of 257 certifications for albums and singles. Elvis is way ahead of the second place Beatles who have a combined total of 148 certifications.
