Jethro Tull Scores A Second New Hit Album In Just As Many Months
Jethro Tull's Songs From the Vault – 1975 – 1978 debuts at No. 17 on the U.K.'s Official Rock & ... More Metal Albums chart, marking the band's second hit of 2025.

(Photo by Gijsbert Hanekroot/Redferns) Jethro Tull is quietly having one of its most successful years in recent memory. The legendary rock act is back on the charts this week with another collection, and this latest win continues what's quickly becoming a noteworthy streak. With two bestselling efforts in just the first half of 2025 alone, the band clearly maintains a solid fan base to this day, which is incredibly difficult for any group. Jethro Tull's Songs From the Vault – 1975–1978 debuts at No. 17 on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart. The ranking, which tracks the U.K.'s top-selling full-lengths and EPs across all corners of the rock spectrum, is once again home to one of the more prolific names in progressive rock. With Songs From the Vault, Jethro Tull earns its twenty-eighth appearance on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart. Impressively, it's the act's second placement on the tally in 2025 alone. Just last month, the group's latest studio full-length Ruminations debuted at No. 1 on the same list. That effort spent five consecutive frames on the ranking before stepping aside—just in time for this archival project to take its place. This week is a crowded one on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart. But even so, Songs From the Vault still claims one of the top debuts of the week, coming in as the tenth-highest new title on the roster. The band lands just behind brand new releases from some of the genre's heaviest hitters, including Those Damn Crows, Epica, Rage Against the Machine, Black Sabbath, and Motörhead. Even Post Malone appears on the chart this frame in a first for the superstar. Songs From the Vault is not another greatest hits repackage. The double LP, which was released as part of Record Store Day, features more than 20 tracks, many of which are making their vinyl debut. Pulled from recording sessions that took place across a pivotal four-year period, the collection highlights rarities, alternate versions, and deep cuts that hardcore fans will appreciate.
