2nd to None (also known as ELVIIS: 2nd to None) is a collection of songs by American rock and roll musician Elvis Presley. The album was released on October 7, 2003 by RCA Records as the sequel to the previous year's highly successful ELV1S: 30 #1 Hits.
The album included Elvis's #1 singles that did not appear on the previous release, other notable recordings by the artist, one previously unreleased recording ("I'm a Roustabout") and a remix of "Rubberneckin'" by Paul Oakenfold.
Although not as successful as its predecessor, 2nd to None made the top 10 in at least nine countries and received certifications in several regions.
Production, artwork and packaging
2nd to None was produced by Ernst Mikael Jorgensen and Ray Bardani. Bardani also mixing many of the songs on the collection with the assistance of Matt Snedecor, while the tape transferring and mastering on the recordings were handled by Andreas Meyer and Vic Anesini, respectively.
The release's primary artwork consists of a picture of Elvis' head and the number 2 against a black background. The release's art direction and design was handled by Mike Jurkovac.{{cite AV media notes |title=ELVIS: 2nd to None |others=Elvis Presley |year=2003 |type=CD liner |publisher=RCA/BMG |id=82876 55241 2}} The artwork and design for the European release of the album was different, being very similar to ELV1S and having the art direction and design by the same person, Thomas Vasquez.{{cite AV media notes |title=ELV1S: 30 #1 Hits |title-link=ELV1S |others=Elvis Presley |year=2002 |type=CD liner |publisher=RCA Records |id=07863 68138-2 |location=New York City, New York, United States}}

To promote the album in the United Kingdom, a compilation album titled Before Anyone Did Anything, Elvis Did Everything was released as a free covermount album in the British newspaper Daily Mail.
The album has a blue cover quite similar to that of 30 #1 Hits and the European release of 2nd to None. It features ten songs from those two albums and other releases such as the Close Up box set.{{cite AV media notes |title=Before Anyone Did Anything, Elvis Did Everything |others=Elvis Presley |year=2003 |url=http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=589929 |type=CD case |publisher=BMG |id=ELVIS 01}}
