Robert Plant & Alison Krauss' 'Raise the Roof' earns top-10 'Billboard' 200 debut

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss' second collaborative album Raise the Roof has debuted in the top 10 on the Billboard 200.

The record lands at number seven on the all-genre chart with a total of 40,000 equivalent album units, 38,000 of which were traditional album sales.

Plant and Krauss' first joint effort, 2007's Grammy-winning Raising Sand, debuted at number two on the Billboard 200. With Raise the Roof, Plant now has nine top-10 records as a solo artist, along with the 13 he's notched with Led Zeppelin. Krauss, meanwhile, has a total of five top-10s.

Raise the Roof is primarily a covers collection paying tribute to "legends and unsung heroes of folk, blues, country and soul music," although it does include one original called "High and Lonesome" that Plant co-wrote with producer T Bone Burnett. Plant and Krauss will hit the road in support of the album starting June 2022.
