Formed in London in 1968, the group consisted of singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist John Paul Jones, and drummer John Bonham. The band pioneered the concept of album-oriented rock and often refused to release popular songs as singles.{{cite web|last=Erlewine|first=Stephen Thomas|url=http://allmusic.com/artist/led-zeppelin-p4739/biography|title=Allmusic > Led Zeppelin > Biography|website=AllMusic|access-date=20 January 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110114012345/http://www.allmusic.com/artist/led-zeppelin-p4739/biography|archive-date=14 January 2011|url-status=dead}} Their debut album, Led Zeppelin (1969), released by Atlantic Records, charted at number six on the UK Albums Chart and at number ten on the United States Billboard 200. It received several sales certifications, including an eight-times multi-platinum from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and a Diamond from the Music Canada. Led Zeppelin's second studio album, Led Zeppelin II, recorded when the band were on tour, was released a few months after the first. It reached number one in several countries, including the UK and the US, where it was certified 12 times multi-platinum. The album produced Led Zeppelin's highest-charting single, "Whole Lotta Love", which peaked at several music charts in the top 10. Led Zeppelin III (1970) was a softer, more folk-based effort compared to the hard rock of the band's previous releases.{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/led-zeppelin-iii-r11457/review|title=Allmusic > Led Zeppelin III|access-date=4 January 2011|website=AllMusic|first=Stephen Thomas|last=Erlewine|archive-date=12 December 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101212060305/http://allmusic.com/album/led-zeppelin-iii-r11457/review|url-status=live}} It also peaked at number one in the UK and in the US.
Led Zeppelin's untitled fourth album, often called Led Zeppelin IV and released on 8 November 1971, is their most commercially successful album. It received a 24 times multi-platinum certification from RIAA, the fifth-highest of all albums, and fourth-highest exclusive of greatest hits compilations.{{Cite web|title=Gold & Platinum|url=https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/|access-date=7 May 2021|website=RIAA|language=en-US|archive-date=12 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180212231947/https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/|url-status=live}} The band's fifth album, Houses of the Holy, was released in 1973. Again a transatlantic chart-topper, it has received an 11 times multi-platinum certification from RIAA. In 1974, the band set up their own vanity label, Swan Song Records, which would release the rest of Led Zeppelin's studio albums. The first was the 1975 double album Physical Graffiti, which has received a 16 times platinum certification from RIAA. Zeppelin's seventh album, Presence (1976), achieved a triple Platinum certification from RIAA. On 20 October 1976, Led Zeppelin released their first concert film The Song Remains the Same. The recording of the film took place during three nights of concerts at Madison Square Garden in New York City, during the band's 1973 concert tour of the United States.{{cite book|first=Chris|last=Welch|year=1994|title=Led Zeppelin|location=London|publisher=Orion Books|isbn=978-1-85797-930-5|oclc=31643666|pages=68–69, 83}} The band's eighth studio album, In Through the Out Door, received a sextuple platinum certification. This was the last album released by the band before Bonham died of alcohol intoxication in 1980; Led Zeppelin disbanded less than three months later.{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/p57944/biography|title=Allmusic > John Bonham > Biography|website=AllMusic|access-date=4 January 2011|first1=Bruce|last1=Eder|first2=Charlotte|last2=Dillon|archive-date=20 January 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130120060914/http://www.allmusic.com/artist/john-bonham-mn0000218777|url-status=live}}
In 1982, Led Zeppelin released their last studio album, Coda, which contained outtakes from the band's previous recordings. Since their break-up, the band have released numerous compilation and live albums from older concerts, including How the West Was Won, which peaked at number one on the Billboard charts, and the compilation album Mothership, which produced seven music downloads and was released on the same day Led Zeppelin's entire catalog became available in digital stores, including in the iTunes Store.{{cite magazine|title=iTunes Welcomes Zeppelin with Catalog Box|first=Johnathan|last=Cohen|magazine=Billboard|publisher=Prometheus Global Media|date=23 October 2007|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1047800/itunes-welcomes-zeppelin-with-catalog-box|access-date=20 January 2011|archive-date=13 September 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140913180051/http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1047800/itunes-welcomes-zeppelin-with-catalog-box|url-status=live}} "Stairway to Heaven", which had never been released as an official single before, was one of these songs released in digital stores.{{cite book|first=Dave|last=Lewis|year=2004|title=The Complete Guide to the Music of Led Zeppelin|publisher=Omnibus Press|isbn=978-1-84449-141-4|edition=2nd}}
