euro Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Over the years I compiled a list of countries where Zeppelin albums have gone number 1. My list is by no means complete nor is perfect so if anyone has anything to add by all means: Led Zeooelin 1:Spain Led Zeppelin 2:Spain, USA,UK,Canada,Australia,Germany Netherlands Led Zeppelin 3:USA,UK,Canada,Australia,Italy,Sweden Led Zeppelin IV:Canada,UK,France Houses of the Holy:USA,UK,Canada,Australia Physical Graffit:USA,UK,Canada Presence: USA,UK and Canada Song Remains the Same:UK In throug the out door;US,UK,Canada,New Zealand Coda:none How the West Was Won:USA,Canada BBC Sessions:none Remasters:Finland,Australia Mothership:Norway,New Zealand Early Days/Latter Days,collectively and individually: none Interesting how Led Zeppelin IV never made #1 in USA even though it sold like 23 million copies(More albums than Queen sold in UK in total!) Led Zeppelin had remarkable 8 straight number 1 albums in UK(matches record set by ABBA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB I would say in their heyday you are right. However,I think they sell more like 1.5-2.0 million copies a year(which is remarkable given the state of the music industry). As for current back catalogs sells for rock group I woud put them behind the Beatles of course and perhaps Pink Floyd,the latter really got a boast to back catalog with their appearance at Live Eight,the endless anniversary editions of Dark Side of Moon and the support from the continous touring from both Waters and Gilmour who include incorporated alot of floyd material into their shows(no reinterpretations here either) . I suspect Queen is a strong back catalog seller too though it seems mostly confined to compiliaition albums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it deleted with the release of Mothership? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie29 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 A question for you as you are from Australia: I know Remasters was an absolute smash there. Was it deleted with the release of Mothership? Thanks Firstly, I'd be very surprised if IV, Runes or whatever didn't reach no. 1 in Oz. Remasters was released as a two disc "greatest hits compilation" and a four disc set with some unreleased tracks and previously tracks that were not on any albums. There were notable exceptions that were not included but were released on another two disc set with only the songs that missed the Remasters four disc set. To my knowledge it was not deleted and is still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
widget Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Led Zeppelin III, Houses of the Holy, and Physical Graffiti reached #1 in Australia. Led Zeppelin IV made only #2. This is from the Go Set charts as ARIA didnt start album charts til the 1980s. Remasters was deleted in 2002, but some stores still carry copies. I've seen them in JB HiFi.
