DEF LEPPARD's DRASTIC SYMPHONIES Spends 3rd Week At #1 On Classical Chart
Def Leppard 2023
Def Leppard's new Drastic Symphonies album recorded with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is now in its third week on the USA Billboard classical charts.
The new album 'Drastic Symphonies' was released on Friday 19th May.
The album features 16 classic Def Leppard songs reworked and reimagined with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios in London.
The first single 'Animal' was released to digital and streaming services on the same day as the announcement followed by both 'Hysteria' on 5th May and 'When Love & Hate Collide' on 17th May.
USA Classical Crossover
'Drastic Symphonies' has remained in the Number One position on the Classical Crossover chart for a third week.
The first time the band have appeared on any classical charts having debuted at #1 on both charts three weeks ago.
USA Classic Chart
The album spent a second week at Number One in week two but this week has been replaced at the top by Max Richter.
His album 'Sleep' has returned to the top for a 23rd week and spent 185 weeks on the chart.
For whatever reason the album does not appear to have been eligible for the UK Classical Albums chart although The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra currently have two albums of their own on it.
