Report: LED ZEPPELIN Sales Soar After Concert
Success
Telegraph.co.uk reports: UK sales of LED ZEPPELIN's back catalogue
soared today after the spectacular success of their one-off reunion
concert.
The group's best-of album, "Mothership", have already gone
platinum, meaning it has sold more than 300,000 copies, but Gennaro
Castaldo, a spokesman for HMV, said it was on track to become one
of the biggest best-sellers.
Sales of the album at the company's 240 stores leapfrogged those of
WESTLIFE and THE SPICE GIRLS to become the chain's number one
seller.
"Sales of their album have had a massive, massive boost by the
concert," he said.
"It was our best-selling album today, up from number eight last
week. LED ZEPPELIN t-shirts have also been our most popular since
the concert."
Castaldo said that sales of the band's DVD, "The Song Remains the
Same", and its back catalogue had rocketed by 500 per cent since
the concert.
The LED ZEPPELIN official website became the third most visited for
an artist or band, beaten only by KATIE MELUA and RADIOHEAD.
The web was also awash with calls from the army of followers for
the British group to announce a world tour.
