A new Elvis Presley box set is coming soon. Who owns the King's music?

Set for release Aug. 9, the new Elvis box set, "Memphis," includes 111 tracks spanning Presley’s recordings in the city, from Sun to the Jungle Room.

So, who owns Elvis Presley's music these days?

The RCA Records label does. Presley signed to the iconic record label on Nov. 20, 1955, after initially recording for Memphis-based Sun Records. (RCA also purchased all of Elvis’ Sun assets.)

RCA was bought by German conglomerate BMG in the 1980s. In 2004 BMG merged with Sony Music Entertainment to become Sony BMG. Sony BMG owns Elvis' recordings and they continue to use the RCA Records label for issuing Elvis releases and projects.

Additionally, Elvis Presley Enterprises Inc. is the corporate entity that was created by the Elvis Presley Trust to conduct business and manage its assets. EPE was wholly owned by the Elvis Presley Trust/Lisa Marie Presley until 2005. Currently, Graceland Holdings LLC, led by managing partner Joel Weinshanker, is the majority owner of EPE.

As of 2023, actress/filmmaker Riley Keough — Elvis Presley's granddaughter and the oldest of the late Lisa Marie Presley's three daughters — is heir to the Presley estate and owner of Graceland, the Memphis mansion bought by the King of Rock 'n' Roll in 1957. Lisa Marie's other surviving children, twins Harper and Finley Lockwood, are teenagers, and so unable to serve as trustees of the estate.

Keough's status was affirmed in June 2023 in Los Angeles Superior Court, in a settlement between Keough and her grandmother, Priscilla Presley (Lisa Marie's mother), and Michael Lockwood (Lisa Marie's ex-husband), the father and court-appointed guardian of the twins, who are Keough's half-siblings.
