Def Leppard's 10 Biggest Hits of All Time

#1 may surprise you

By Bob Diehl, Audacy

Def Leppard formed before the ‘80s even began, released their first album the same year the Phillies beat the Royals in the World Series, were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2019, and are still going strong with a big stadium tour planned this summer with Mötley Crüe, Poison and Joan Jett.

The band from Sheffield, England has a litany of hits to choose from when playing live, not to mention the solid deep cuts like “Stagefright.” Def Leppard has placed 19 songs on the all-encompassing Billboard 100 over the decades, and the number grows on the rock-specific charts.

The best of the best tracks encompass the band’s commercial prime, which ran from 1983, when they released their breakthrough LP Pyromania, to 1993, when they put a bow on the era with Retro Active – a solid collection of B-sides and previously unreleased material. In between, there was Hysteria and Adrenalize.
