In March 1975, Led Zeppelin became the first band in history to have six albums simultaneously on the *Billboard* albums chart. This remarkable achievement solidified their status as one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
The six albums that charted were:
– *Physical Graffiti* (their newly released double album, which debuted at No. 1)
– *Led Zeppelin IV* (featuring the legendary “Stairway to Heaven”)
– *Houses of the Holy*
– *Led Zeppelin II*
– *Led Zeppelin* (their debut album)
– *Led Zeppelin III*
This feat was even more impressive considering that Led Zeppelin rarely released singles, relying instead on full albums to drive sales. Their success was fueled by word-of-mouth, FM radio airplay, and a devoted fan base that eagerly purchased their records.
*Physical Graffiti*, released in February 1975, played a major role in the surge of interest in their back catalog. The album featured classics such as “Kashmir” and “Trampled Under Foot,” further cementing their dominance in rock music. With its success, fans revisited previous albums, pushing them back onto the charts.
Led Zeppelin’s milestone in 1975 set a new standard in the music industry, proving that a band could achieve massive commercial success without relying on hit singles. Their influence continues to be felt today, with their albums still ranking among the greatest in rock history.
