Looks like only Albums have been counted.

Interesting that Elvis made No.1 in the 50s decade, but with lower sales than in the 60s !

Here's the whole article:

Most of these charts that are produced do not take account of the vast number of different issues of Elvis' albums that have been issued over the years.

The following goes to show what I mean:

In my opinion chances are that Elvis has outsold all artists Worldwide. Of course no-one, including RCA/Sony/BMG really know how many Elvis records have been sold. It is an impossible task to cover sales from all over the World since 1956.
