Talk:Led Zeppelin discography

message: Is there a reason for that the RIAA certifications get inflated in this article? For Physical Graffiti this article claims 22x Platinum, but when I check it out on the RIAA website it says 16x Platinum. Likewise for Led Zeppelin IV this article claims 27xPlatinum, while on RIAA's website it says 23x Platinum. I think it's the same with II and III - inflated numbers compared to what is actually stated on RIAA's website. 94.21.101.1 (talk) 10:00, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

message: The table backgrounds should be darker and the singles section should be more complete with chart positions and cover art. A great example of this is the Queen discography.--172.148.22.251 06:19, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  What could be done. 

message: The charting positions section is inconsistent with other information. 
The article claims "Led Zeppelin only released one single in the United Kingdom, that was Whole Lotta Love; but it only reached #21" yet in the chart it claims Whole Lotta Love reached #1 and that Black Dog, Misty Mountain Hop and Rock and Roll all made the UK singles chart. 
Also the chart section claims that Fool in the Rain, Hot Dog, South Bound Suarez and All My Love charted on the Mainstream Rock Chart in 1980 but when reading the Mainstream Rock article it says that the chart first began in 1981. 
Stairway to Heaven is placed in the chart section when it was not released as a single - there are other songs like this. We are told what the singles were that Led Zeppelin released in the US yet there are other songs in the chart list which are not mentioned in the list of singles but somehow managed to chart! eg. Kashmir is not in the list of released singles yet charts at #16.
The chart really needs to worked on - or the other information is wrong.
---==---
I agree, the chart table is a mess. I actually came to the wikipedia entry as I couldn't remember if Led Zeppelin ever released a UK single or not. I thought I had my answer in the text which says Whole Lotta Love was released as a single but reached #21. I find the comment about needing to reach the top 20 in the charts to be considered a hit a little misleading as I always thought it was the top 40 (and i think it became the top 75)
Anyway, from what I can gather (in the form of my 1988 copy of British Hit Singles), all the info in the table for the UK chart is wrong since they didn't release any singles in the UK in the 60's, 70's or 80's
Looking at the Whole Lotta Love Single page it suggests it was released in the UK charts in 1997 where I suspect it reached #21 if the info in the article is correct
So, all the numbers in the UK Chart column should be removed, and an extra row at the bottom needs to be added saying "Whole Lotta Love (1997)" with the UK chart position in it.
Hope that helps

message: Coda should be categorised as a studio album rather than a compilation album, as indicated by the following sources: 
::*Liner notes for the Led Zeppelin Box Set, Vol. 2, which states that Led Zeppelin released nine studio albums.
::*Label attached to the Complete Studio Recordings boxed set, officially released by Atlantic Records, which states that the set includes "all nine of Led Zeppelin's studio albums"
::*Global Bass magazine interview with John Paul Jones
::*1993 interview with Jimmy Page in Guitar World magazine
::*Article in the Telegraph newspaper
::*Article in the Mirror newspaper
::*Led Zeppelin expert Dave Lewis, in his publication The Complete Guide to the Music of Led Zeppelin (London: Omnibus Press, 1994 ) lists Coda as one of the ten Led Zeppelin albums released in its own right (TSRTS being the only live album of the ten).  That is, he puts the album in the same bracket as the other nine  albums which preceded it.  All of these albums he distinguishes from later Led Zeppelin compilation albums, such as Led Zeppelin Remasters. Edelmand (talk) 11:31, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Official and studio While most (not all) of Coda was recorded in-studio, it was not recorded together as an album; it wasn't even all recorded in the same decade. Allmusic lists it as a compilation, as do other sources and plain reason - this is a perfect example of a compilation album i.e. "an album... featuring tracks from one or multiple recording artists, often culled from a variety of sources (such as studio albums, live albums, singles, demos and outtakes.)" Many of these sources don't even explicitly mention Coda, nor is there any controversy addressed as to whether or not it is "official"; clearly, by any definition, it is "officially" a Led Zeppelin album, it's just a compilation of various tracks released after their career was over. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 15:32, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

The IV has a note lower there that it is actually an untitled album, but where has it originated to have the band's name included in the title? Using the same logic, for example The Beatles' first album could as well be "The Beatles Please Please Me".

One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles.

I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

replies: text: You can list it as a Diamond award as long as the certification level remains, otherwise you are providing less information to the reader. The RIAA has no "2x Diamond" award so it is inaccurate to suggest to the reader that an album has received such an award. If you merely want to point out that 20 is twice 10, I think most readers can work that out in their head easily enough. Piriczki (talk) 13:53, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

message: Led Zeppelin are unusual, if not unique, in achieving such a level of success in the UK despite not having released any singles there during the time that the band was active. (As a result, they never appeared on Top of the Pops although ironically various versions of their "Whole Lotta Love" were used as the show's theme tune for many years.) Perhaps a note should be added to explain why no singles entered the UK singles charts while the band was together? JezGrove (talk) 21:19, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
