Yeah, you said "top the charts," which usually means having a number one hit. I was curious of Chula response, but how you phrased that, he's right.

I thought when someone said a Top 40 Hit they mean a band's song reach somewhere in Top 40. "Top of the Charts" is usually a #1 hit, begin that #1 is the top number. The "top" of something generally means nothing else above it. There is nothing above, or higher the number one slot on the charts. A "Major hit" would be would be the upper half of Top 40, and a "minor hit" would be further down the charts.

Whole Lotta Love did hit #4. Other than that Zep didn't do well with singles. Plus WLL is after the period I'm referring to when I talk about Zep being underground.

Wasn't Zeppelin relatively ignored in Britain anyway? At least until they made it in America? Comparing chart numbers for the two countries might not make sense.
