I believe 2015 will be the 80th anniversary of Elvis Presley's birth, and with the 29c stamp being the best-selling issue ever, I'm sure the USPS is hoping to capitalize.

In the meantime, the USPS is deciding how it wants to commemorate Elvis Presley for a second time. The original 29-cent Elvis issue came out in 1993 and has become the best-selling commemorative stamp of all time. "We're planning on doing something fun with that," McGowan says. "When the stamp first came out, we asked the American public to vote on the Elvis stamps. You would go into the post office and you had little postcards there that you could mail in. We asked people if they liked the younger Elvis or the older Elvis, and it really engaged America in a debate over which Elvis to put on the stamp. We haven't done anything like that in a while, so we're hoping to do something like that."

As for the future of the Music Icons series, she says 2015 will see a departure from rock and roll, but declined to reveal which genre will be its focus. "I definitely see that we need to pay a little honor to some other genres that haven't been covered," she says. "For example, jazz is something that will be in the foreseeable future, or Motown and types of music that we need to recognize." She says the USPS hopes to continue the series for years to come.
