Share this @internewscast.com

More than half a century after Lynyrd Skynyrd released its debut album Pronounced ‘Lĕh-‘nérd ‘Skin-‘nérd, the band still claims a global fanbase. The Southern rock outfit remains so beloved that even retrospective live collections can become commercial wins, which is a relatively uncommon feat for most acts, especially those that have been around as long as Lynyrd Skynyrd.

The band’s reach extends to the United Kingdom, where this week the group earns a brand new win on the charts.

Celebrating 50 Years: Live at the Ryman Debuts on the Charts

Celebrating 50 Years: Live at the Ryman debuts on two purchase-focused tallies in the U.K. This week, the set opens at No. 47 on the Official Physical Albums chart and No. 51 on the Official Albums Sales list. The latter roster, which isn’t limited to any one genre, language, or format, is where the band collects its most exciting placement at the moment.

Lynyrd Skynyrd’s First Bestselling Album

More than 50 years into its time as a band, Lynyrd Skynyrd earns its first hit on the Official Albums Sales chart. Celebrating 50 Years becomes the group’s debut bestselling effort in the U.K.

It’s worth noting that for many years, the Official Albums chart — the main ranking of the most consumed titles in the country — was powered solely by sales, until streaming activity was factored in. Once that change occurred, the Official Albums Sales list was introduced, long after some of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s biggest wins.

One of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Top Performers

Out of the six projects that Lynyrd Skynyrd has sent to the Official Physical Albums chart in the 20 years since Greatest Hits debuted, Celebrating 50 Years ties as the group’s third-highest-peaking effort. Opening at No. 47, it matches the band’s Greatest Hits collection and trails only another greatest hits set, which peaked at No. 16, and God & Guns, which debuted and stalled at No. 35 more than 15 years ago.
