The single "In the Ghetto" was released on April 15, 1969, with 300,000 copies shipped by RCA. In its second week after release, it entered the charts, where it remained for thirteen weeks (reaching number three on June 14). The single sold a million copies in the United States. Meanwhile, it reached number two on the British Singles chart. However, its success triggered a confrontation between RCA and American Sound. During the sessions, Presley's usual producer, Jarvis, grew increasingly worried about losing control of Presley and his recordings. During its first two weeks on the chart, "In the Ghetto"'s production was credited to Jarvis. Lacker then called "Billboard" and had them correct the producer credit to Moman. During the fourth week, Parker asked "Billboard" to remove the production credit from the song's entry entirely (arguing that Presley's records did not traditionally list a producer credit).
