Def Leppard recently released a deluxe edition of their album Pyromania for superfans, which includes multiple CDs, vinyl records, Blu-ray discs, and more. The album, celebrating its fortieth anniversary, received overwhelming support from longtime fans who purchased it in huge numbers. As a result, Pyromania has made a comeback on a number of Billboard charts, even debuting on a chart it had never appeared on before.
During the past tracking period, Pyromania sold 5,720 copies in America, marking a significant 684% increase from the previous week when it sold only 729 copies. This surge in sales has allowed Pyromania to re-enter the Top Album Sales chart at No. 17, achieving its best showing on that tally to date. The album has now spent 13 frames on the ranking of the bestselling full-lengths and EPs in the U.S., showcasing the enduring popularity of Def Leppard’s music.
While Pyromania may not have reached its previous peak on the Billboard 200 chart, it has re-entered the roster at No. 173, with a total of 8,499 equivalent copies moved in the United States. The deluxe edition of Pyromania has also debuted on the Vinyl Albums chart at No. 16, making it Def Leppard’s fifth appearance on the specific ranking. Overall, Pyromania is now tied as the band’s third-highest-charting project ever, a testament to its lasting impact on music lovers.
Additionally, Pyromania has made a return on Billboard’s rock-only lists, landing at No. 43 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart in only its second frame. On the Top Hard Rock Albums chart, the album narrowly missed out on breaking into the top 10, settling at No. 11. Despite not reaching its previous peak positions on some charts, Pyromania’s re-release has reignited interest in Def Leppard’s classic ’80s music and solidified its place in the rock music scene.
The resurgence of Pyromania on various Billboard charts highlights the enduring popularity and influence of Def Leppard’s music. The album’s fortieth-anniversary deluxe edition has resonated with fans, leading to a sharp increase in sales and a strong re-entry on multiple rankings. As one of the band’s most iconic albums, Pyromania continues to captivate audiences decades after its original release, solidifying Def Leppard’s status as a legendary rock band in music history.
