LH has done pretty well there

It's a CATALOGUE chart, meaning sales of older back catalogue albums.

Sorry about jumping all over that, the catologue part just flew straight past me .Twas early when i read it

It's nice to see Led Zeppelin there at # 40 with an album that is about 35 years old LOL. That's the way to do it.

"It continues to perform well; according to Nielsen SoundScan catalog charts 324,000 units were sold in 2006."
