Def Leppard's classic album Pyromania has re-entered the Billboard chart for the second time this year.
As mentioned last month the album had re-entered the Billboard Top 200 album chart at 190. It fell off the chart after the 4th October following a five week run.
It has now re-entered the chart published yesterday (dated 18th October) at 195 taking its weeks on chart total to 122 since February 1983. It reached a high of #2 in the summer of 1983 spending many weeks there behind Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'.
It is believed the re-entry is due to low CD prices of older albums on Amazon and other online retailers.
On 8th July 2004 the album was certified 10 times platinum giving the band its second Diamond award (after Hysteria) for 10 million sales in the USA alone.
