"It's Now or Never" - Elvis Presley
"It's Now or Never" is an Elvis Presley song that was released as a single in 1960. The song is one of Presley's best-selling singles (20 million copies), as well as one of the best-selling physical singles of all time. Bill Porter recorded it at RCA Studio B in Nashville. It is written in the key of E major and has a tempo of 80 beats per minute.
"It's Now or Never" was a number-one record for Elvis Presley in the United States in 1960, spending five weeks at the top, as well as the United Kingdom, where it spent eight weeks at the top in 1960 and an additional week at number one in 2005 as a re-issue, and numerous other countries, selling in excess of 20 million physical copies worldwide, making it Elvis Presley's biggest international single ever. Because of rights issues, its British release was delayed for some time, allowing the song to amass massive advance orders and enter the UK Singles Chart at number one, a very rare occurrence at the time. On the R&B charts, "It's Now or Never" peaked at number seven.
