In an effort to capitalise on this new momentum, Def Leppard returned to its classic sound with the 1999 album <a href="/wiki/Euphoria_(Def_Leppard_album)" title="Euphoria (Def Leppard album)">Euphoria</a>. The first single, "<a href="/wiki/Promises_(Def_Leppard_song)" title="Promises (Def Leppard song)">Promises</a>", reunited the band with Mutt Lange and hit the US Mainstream Rock Track charts at No. 1 for three weeks although it did not receive much play on Top 40 radio; it was also a moderate hit in the UK and Canada. Euphoria peaked at No. 11 in both the UK and US, and at No 14 in Germany, although it was less successful in Canada and Australia. <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Def_Leppard_-_Wolverhampton_190203_(11)_(6832397247).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/Def_Leppard_-_Wolverhampton_190203_%2811%29_%286832397247%29.jpg/220px-Def_Leppard_-_Wolverhampton_190203_%2811%29_%286832397247%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="152" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/Def_Leppard_-_Wolverhampton_190203_%2811%29_%286832397247%29.jpg/330px-Def_Leppard_-_Wolverhampton_190203_%2811%29_%286832397247%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/88/Def_Leppard_-_Wolverhampton_190203_%2811%29_%286832397247%29.jpg/440px-Def_Leppard_-_Wolverhampton_190203_%2811%29_%286832397247%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1637" data-file-height="1133" /></a><figcaption>Def Leppard performing in <a href="/wiki/Wolverhampton" title="Wolverhampton">Wolverhampton</a> in February 2003.</figcaption></figure> On 5 September 2000, Def Leppard were inducted into <a href="/wiki/Guitar_Center#Hollywood's_RockWalk" title="Guitar Center">Hollywood's RockWalk</a> on <a href="/wiki/Sunset_Boulevard" title="Sunset Boulevard">Sunset Boulevard</a> by their friend <a href="/wiki/Brian_May" title="Brian May">Brian May</a> of <a href="/wiki/Queen_(band)" title="Queen (band)">Queen</a>.<a href="#cite_note-65">[65]</a> In 2001, VH1 produced and aired Hysteria – The Def Leppard Story, a biopic that included <a href="/wiki/Anthony_Michael_Hall" title="Anthony Michael Hall">Anthony Michael Hall</a> as Mutt Lange and <a href="/wiki/Amber_Valletta" title="Amber Valletta">Amber Valletta</a> as Lorelei Shellist (Steve Clark's girlfriend).
