Among all artists, Pink Floyd ranks #7 in number of albums sold in the U.S.
(68.5 million), behind The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Garth Brooks, Elvis Presley,
the Eagles and Billy Joel.
Only Pink Floyd, The Beatles and the Eagles have two albums in the Top 20 of
the biggest selling albums in the U.S. Pink Floyd is represented by the #3 The
Wall (23 times platinum) and #19 Dark Side Of The Moon (15 times platinum,
approximately 29 million copies worldwide).
With the October 13, 2001 edition of Billboard, Dark Side Of The Moon,
released March 17, 1973, celebrated its 1,278th week on either the Top 200 Pop
Album or Top Pop Catalog Album chart. No other album has stayed longer on any
chart in history.
Dark Side Of The Moon was initially in the Top 200 for 741 nearly consecutive
weeks, more than 14 years (591 consecutive weeks from 1976-1987). Oddly, the
album never reached #1 in the band's native U.K. and hit #1 in the U.S. for
just one week (April 28, 1973). The album broke the six years-plus record of
Carole King's 1971 landmark Tapestry. The previous champ of chart longevity
was a 1958 greatest hits album from Johnny Mathis.
In 1991, Dark Side Of The Moon returned to the charts after Billboard
instituted its Pop Catalog category. The album not only went to #1 and
established residency on that chart for the past 10 years but has remained
almost entirely in the Top 10.
Dark Side Of The Moon is tied for the fourth biggest selling album in Capitol
Records history, behind only The Beatles, The Beatles 1967-1970 and Garth
Brooks' No Fences.
Available on vinyl and cassette since its release, Dark Side Of The Moon was
one of the first albums to popularize CD technology, and has been available on
compact disc since August 1984. In fact, it's EMI CD label number is EMI001.
The disc is one of the Top 10 best-selling CDs of all time.
There is more to Pink Floyd than Dark Side Of The Moon and The Wall. Of the
band's Capitol albums, Wish You Were Here (1975) also reached #1 and is six
times platinum. Meddle (1971) is double platinum. Ummagumma (1969) is
platinum. Three other Capitol albums are gold.
Pink Floyd was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996.
