Led Zeppelin's Triumphant Return: New Live EP Soars to Top 10 on Billboard Charts
Led Zeppelin has made a triumphant return to the American Billboard charts with the release of a new Live EP. The EP has debuted impressively, entering the top 10 on multiple tallies, including the Vinyl Albums chart at No. 6 and the Top Album Sales ranking at No. 9. This marks the band's eleventh top 10 appearance on the Vinyl Albums chart, with only two projects failing to reach this milestone.
Led Zeppelin has a history of success on the vinyl tally, with four No. 1 albums, including Physical Graffiti, Led Zeppelin IV, the self-titled album, and Celebration Day. The Live EP is the band's thirteenth top 10 on the Top Album Sales chart, with their only No. 1 being How the West Was Won in 2003.
The Live EP is Led Zeppelin's first new top 10 hit on the Top Album Sales chart since 2016, when The Complete BBC Sessions reached No. 10 on the vinyl roster. The EP's release coincides with the fiftieth anniversary of the band's album Physical Graffiti, with special anniversary versions available for fans.
Featuring four songs recorded at concerts in 1975 and 1979, the Live EP has quickly gained popularity in America, debuting on multiple Billboard charts. While it starts at No. 12 on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart and No. 38 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums ranking, it also enters the Billboard 200 at No. 150, with strong equivalent unit sales.
Led Zeppelin's Live EP showcases the band's enduring appeal and musical prowess, delighting fans and earning them a well-deserved spot on the Billboard charts once again.
