Jimmy Page is, and always will be, a titan in the hard rock world. No matter what he releases, who he collaborates with, or how much time passes, the guitarist will always be considered a legend.
This week, he proves that fact once again. Page returns to Billboard's charts in America thanks to a collaborative live project. Not only does he break onto two important tallies, but he also earns a spot on one that, surprisingly, he's never appeared on before as a soloist.
Live at the Greek, a collaborative live project from Jimmy Page and The Black Crowes, launches this week at No. 19 on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart. This set marks Page's first solo appearance on this Billboard tally. Given his legacy and involved discography, many might assume the guitar icon had conquered this genre-specific list years ago — but somehow, that's never been the case until now.
Of course, this isn't Page's first time on the Top Hard Rock Albums ranking altogether. As a member of Led Zeppelin, he's helped the band score 10 appearances on the list. Six of those have climbed into the top 10. The most successful entries are Mothership and Celebration Day, both of which spent eight weeks each at No. 1.
Live at the Greek is one of just two brand new entries on the Top Hard Rock Albums list this frame. The roster is led by Coheed and Cambria's The Father of Make Believe, which opens in first place.
Most of the other albums that return to the list this week are familiar favorites returning to the tally, including Paranoid by Black Sabbath (No. 17), Vicennial: 2 Decades of Seether (No. 20), Mötley Crüe's Greatest Hits (No. 23) and Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park (No. 25).
While Page is new to the Top Hard Rock Albums list as a soloist, this latest debut also benefits The Black Crowes. The group doubles its total number of appearances on the ranking with this release. The band's only other entry came back in 2021, when the full-length Shake Your Money Maker soared to No. 6.
Beyond its debut on the Top Hard Rock Albums chart, Live at the Greek also re-enters two additional Billboard rankings this week. It blasts back onto the Top Album Sales chart at No. 13, reaching a new peak in the process. Just one space below, it also returns to the Vinyl Albums tally.
According to Luminate, Live at the Greek sold 6,400 copies in the past tracking frame. That's an impressive figure for a decades-old title, one that recently found new life thanks to a reissue on vinyl.
