Def Leppard History On This Day - 22nd August 2014

Friday, 22nd August 2014





Hysteria 1987.

On This Day in Def Leppard History - 22nd August, the following concerts and events took place. Including the 'Hysteria' album entering the US Billboard Top 200 album chart at #36 on this day in 1987.

By the following week the album had entered the Top 10 and would stay there for the last 18 weeks of the year.

More impressively 'Hysteria' remained in the Top 10 for almost all of 1988 - 48 weeks out of 52. In the four weeks it went outside the Top 10 it was at #11 for three weeks and #12 for one. Due to the continued success of the singles 'Armageddon It' and 'Rocket' it also spent the first 11 weeks of 1989 in the Top 10.

In all a total of 77 weeks were spent in the Top 10 out of its total of 133 weeks on the chart. Over half of its chart run.

The band continue the Summer Tour 2014 tonight in Indianapolis, IN which was last played in August 2012. Check back later for a Live Blog Setlist/Photo Updates.

As of 2014, Def Leppard (will) have played 12 times on this date.
