Pink Floyd\u2019s<\/a> The Dark Side of the Moon has ranked among the most successful albums in American history for decades. While the project doesn\u2019t always appear on the charts in the United States, the title does regularly add to its longevity records, reappearing multiple times throughout each year. The Dark Side of the Moon is a hit again in the U.S. as it blasts back onto multiple rosters thanks to an impressive jump in sales.<\/p>\nThe Dark Side of the Moon\u2019s Sales Jump 72%<\/p>\n
The Dark Side of the Moon sold a little over 3,000 copies throughout the U.S. in the most recent tracking period, according to Luminate. The period before, the rock classic only managed 1,750 sales. That means that Pink Floyd\u2019s masterpiece saw its sales spike 72% from one period to the next.<\/p>\n
That kind of increase would be notable for any musical act or any title, but it\u2019s especially impressive for a full-length that has been selling sometimes thousands of copies every week for more than half a century.<\/p>\n
The Dark Side of the Moon Returns to the Sales Chart<\/p>\n
That uptick in purchases brings The Dark Side of the Moon back to the Top Album Sales chart, the Billboard ranking that focuses only on the bestselling full-lengths and EPs on any format and of any style. Pink Floyd reenters the list at No. 35.<\/p>\n
The Dark Side of the Moon Hits the Top 20 on the Vinyl List<\/p>\n
The Dark Side of the Moon performs even better when it comes to vinyl. On the company\u2019s Vinyl Albums ranking, Pink Floyd breaks back in at No. 18, with what is widely regarded to be one of the most important and best rock releases of all time.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of Weeks on Both Charts<\/p>\n
The Dark Side of the Moon hasn\u2019t been found on either the Vinyl Albums or Top Album Sales charts recently, but the set has racked up hundreds of weeks on the two tallies. As of this frame, The Dark Side of the Moon has spent 360 weeks on the Vinyl Albums list and 515 on the Top Album Sales chart.<\/p>\n
The Longest-Running Billboard 200 Smash<\/p>\n
The Dark Side of the Moon is no longer present on the Billboard 200, but it still leads every other release in American history as the longest-charting title on the most important albums ranking. Pink Floyd\u2019s classic is just 10 weeks shy of becoming the first to make it to 1,000 frames on the Billboard 200. Bob Marley and the Wailers\u2019 compilation Legend recently joined The Dark Side of the Moon as the only efforts to rack up 900 stays on the roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pink Floyd\u2019s The Dark Side of the Moon jumps 72% in U.S. sales, returning to No. 35 on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":369720,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3936],"tags":[129351,129346,129345,129349,77,129353,269,129350,129352,129344,129348,129347,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-369719","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-dark-side-of-the-moon-1000-weeks","9":"tag-dark-side-of-the-moon-album-sales-spike","10":"tag-dark-side-of-the-moon-billboard-2025","11":"tag-dark-side-of-the-moon-vinyl-albums","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-longest-charting-album-billboard","14":"tag-music","15":"tag-pink-floyd-album-chart-comeback","16":"tag-pink-floyd-billboard-record","17":"tag-pink-floyd-the-dark-side-of-the-moon-chart","18":"tag-pink-floyd-top-album-sales-chart","19":"tag-pink-floyd-vinyl-chart","20":"tag-uk","21":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115083750213447576","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369719","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=369719"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369719\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/369720"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=369719"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=369719"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=369719"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
