The band has sold more than 300 million albums worldwide with a celebrated catalog including such landmark songs as \u201cWhole Lotta Love,\u201d \u201cKashmir,\u201d \u201cRock And Roll,\u201d \u201cWhen The Levee Breaks\u201d and \u201cStairway To Heaven.\u201d The band rose from the ashes of The Yardbirds, when Page brought in Plant, Bonham and Jones to tour as The New Yardbirds. In 1969, Led Zeppelin released its self-titled debut. It marked the beginning of a 12-year reign, during which the group was widely considered to be the biggest rock band in the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\">Led Zeppelin continues to be honored for its pivotal role in music history. The band was inducted into the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame in 1995, received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005, and a year later was awarded with the Polar Music Prize in Stockholm. Founding members Jones, Page and Plant \u2013 along with Jason Bonham, the son of their late drummer John Bonham \u2013 took the stage at London\u2019s O2 Arena in 2007 to headline a tribute concert for Ahmet Ertegun, a dear friend and Atlantic Records\u2019 founder. The band was honored for its lifetime contribution to American culture last year at the Kennedy Center Honors.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><b><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">About Spotify\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\">Spotify is an award-winning digital music service that gives you on-demand access to over 20 million tracks. \u00a0Our dream is to make all the world\u2019s music available instantly to everyone, wherever and whenever they want it. \u00a0Spotify makes it easier than ever to discover, manage and share music with your friends, while making sure that artists get a fair deal.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\">Spotify is now available in 55 markets across the world, with more than 24 million active users and over 6 million paying subscribers: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Denmark, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, UK, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\">Since its launch in Sweden in 2008, Spotify has driven more than a billion US dollars to rights holders.
