Led Zeppelin's 'Trampled Under Foot' Vinyl Reissue Soars to Top 10 on UK Charts
Led Zeppelin's iconic album, Physical Graffiti, celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2025, and the band and its fans have been commemorating this milestone throughout the year. As part of the festivities, the single "Trampled Under Foot" was reissued on vinyl for Record Store Day, marking a significant moment for the English rock band.
"Trampled Under Foot" made a remarkable comeback on the music charts in the UK, entering three purchase-only charts for the first time. The song debuted at No. 6 on both the Official Physical Singles and Official Vinyl Singles charts, and also secured a spot at No. 10 on the Official Singles Sales chart, marking Led Zeppelin's first top 10 entry on this particular chart.
Led Zeppelin's success with "Trampled Under Foot" on the Official Singles Sales chart surpassed their previous hit, "Rock and Roll," which peaked at No. 24. The band's track record on the Official Vinyl Singles chart also improved, with "Trampled Under Foot" entering at No. 6, adding to their previous No. 1 hit, "Rock and Roll."
On the Official Physical Singles chart, Led Zeppelin achieved their second top 10 hit with "Trampled Under Foot," following the success of "Rock and Roll." The band's history on this chart dates back to almost 30 years ago, when "Whole Lotta Love" made its debut in 1997, reaching No. 21.
Led Zeppelin participated in Record Store Day 2025, a biannual event where artists release exclusive products available only in physical record stores. For Black Friday 2025, a reproduction of the original U.K.-only seven-inch vinyl single of "Trampled Under Foot" was re-released, featuring the title track on Side A and "Black Country Woman" on the B-side.
Despite its popularity, "Trampled Under Foot" had never appeared on the Official Singles chart, as Led Zeppelin preferred to focus on album releases rather than singles. Only three of the band's hits, including "Whole Lotta Love," "Stairway to Heaven," and "Kashmir," have made it onto the Official Singles chart over the years.
In conclusion, Led Zeppelin's enduring legacy and timeless music continue to captivate audiences, with "Trampled Under Foot" making a triumphant return on the charts and further solidifying the band's place in rock history.
