Get ready to pour some Def Leppard into your Apple Music playlists.
The British rock band has finally released its full collection of albums on Apple Music and other streaming services after years of fighting against the format.
Only Def Leppard’s most recent albums have been available on streaming service until now. That kept listeners from hearing classics like “Pour Some Sugar on Me” and “Love Bites” on their favorite services until now.
“It is with a mixture of relief and euphoria that we now see our entire catalog finally getting a digital release,” said frontman Joe Elliott in a statement. “Having embraced every other format with open arms, especially and more recently the reemergence of vinyl, we’re now going to be available to everyone everywhere and honestly, it’s as exciting as the original releases were.”
Def Lepard’s fight against streaming was mostly due to a royalty dispute with its former label Mercury Records/UMG.
As one of the most prolific bands in rock and roll over the last 40 years, Def Leppard sold more than 100 million albums worldwide with 19 Billboard top 100 hits.
