Def Leppard have expressed surprise at the success of their latest album 'Songs From The Sparkle Lounge', which entered the UK album charts at number 10 and the US Billboard 200 chart at number five this weekend. Guitarist Phil Collen celebrated by complaining that no one bought their last two albums, 'X', in 2002, which was their least successful to date, and covers album 'Yeah!' in 2006. He said: "I am pleased but mildly irritated by the fact that we haven't done anything different but simplified it. I am irked that people didn't pay this much attention to the other albums which I felt were just as good. This one is stripped down and people seem to be going nuts for it".
