Led Zeppelin Doubles Its Top 40 Hits As A Classic Returns

Led Zeppelin usually finds a space on the U.K. music charts, as several albums from the band continue to sell well to this day. It’s common for the group to land one or two wins on album-specific rosters, if not several more. However, the rockers don’t typically perform quite as well when it comes to songs.

This week, Led Zeppelin doubles its total number of hit singles on the charts in the country where the group got its start. The band now claims two spaces on the Official Rock & Metal Singles ranking as a classic returns and joins another favorite.

“Immigrant Song” is back on the list of the bestselling rock and metal tunes throughout the U.K. this frame. It narrowly manages to find space on the roster, which features 40 rungs, as it breaks back in at No. 40.

That tune joins “Stairway to Heaven,” which is steady on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart this week. Last time around, the beloved composition re-entered the list at No. 38, and it keeps in that position once more.

Between the two, “Immigrant Song” is the higher-rising hit. It’s one of just a few champions from Led Zeppelin—a surprisingly small number considering how famous the rockers are. “Stairway to Heaven” only climbed to No. 3, and it is one of the band’s four top 10 smashes.

While “Immigrant Song” may have beaten “Stairway to Heaven” in terms of peak position, the opposite is true when looking at how long each track has spent on the Official Rock & Metal Singles chart. “Stairway to Heaven” is now up to 623 weeks somewhere on the list. “Immigrant Song,” meanwhile, only recently passed 150 turns on the tally.

As Led Zeppelin goes from a single top 40 hit to twice as many in just a few days, the group maintains its total number of appearances on the bestselling rock and metal albums list in the country. Three of the rockers’ collections appear on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart, which is compiled similarly to the singles roster, as it focuses just on those genres.

Only one of Led Zeppelin’s projects climbs on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart this week. Four Symbols, which is also known simply as an untitled release, pushes from No. 23 to No. 19. At the same time, both Led Zeppelin and Led Zeppelin II dip from where they sat last period. The former, the self-titled collection, steps back five spaces from No. 22 to No. 27. Its follow-up, the group’s second full-length, declines even further, slipping from No. 21 to No. 33.
