The discography of Led Zeppelin consists of nine studio albums, four live albums, nine compilation albums, 16 singles and eight music downloads. Formed in London in 1968, the rock group consisted of guitarist Jimmy Page, singer Robert Plant, bass player John Paul Jones, and drummer John Bonham. The band (Plant and Page pictured) pioneered the concept of album-oriented rock and often refused to release popular songs as singles. Their debut album, Led Zeppelin (1969), released by Atlantic Records, charted at number six on the UK Albums Chart and at number ten on the United States Billboard 200. Led Zeppelin's second studio album, Led Zeppelin II, produced the group's most successful single, "Whole Lotta Love", which peaked at several music charts in the top 10. Led Zeppelin's untitled fourth album, often called Led Zeppelin IV and released on 8 November 1971, is their most commercially successful album. It received a 23 times multi-platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America, the third-highest of all albums. The band has sold over 300 million albums worldwide, including 111.5 million certified units in the United States. (Full list...)
