KFIX Rock News: Led Zeppelin Reissues Debut At #7 & #12 On Billboard Chart

Back in June, the first installment of Led Zeppelin’s reissue campaign made a big splash on the Billboard 200, with the three releases — Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin II and Led Zeppelin — debuting, respectively, at #7, #9 and #10 on the tally.

Now, the initiative’s second wave — featuring Led Zeppelin IV and Houses of the Holy — has arrived on the chart, with slightly less-flashy results.

The revamped Led Zeppelin IV bows at #7 after selling 35,000, while the updated Houses of the Holy lands at #12 after moving 29,000.

Led Zeppelin IV originally hit stores in November 1971, and went on to reach #2 on the Billboard 200. It’s since sold more than 23 million copies in the U.S. alone.

Houses of the Holy, which was first released in May 1973, topped the Billboard tally for two weeks later that same year. It’s notched more than 11 million stateside sales.
