The group is typically found inside the top 10, and often scores several bestselling titles at the same time. This frame is a major one for the legendary rock outfit, as multiple projects return, and several that appeared on the competitive list just days ago rocket back into the top 10. Pink Floyd's Multiple Top 10 Albums Pink Floyd claims a pair of top 10 titles on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart this week. Neither of the two sets currently inside that competitive space was present there last frame. Live at Pompeii - MCMLXXII pushes from No. 12 to No. 9, while The Dark Side of the Moon surges from No. 13 to No. 10. Both collections lift by three spaces and find their way back into the chart's loftiest region. Live at Pompeii's Successful Chart Life Live at Pompeii debuted on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart 10 weeks ago. Since then, it has led the ranking for two nonconsecutive frames, and it has only fallen outside the top 10 once. The Dark Side of the Moon, meanwhile, has lived on the list of the bestselling rock and metal releases in the U.K. for years. Several versions of the project have appeared on the chart, and collectively they're nearing 700 stays on the roster, with dozens spent at No. 1. Two Bestsellers from Pink Floyd Interest in both of those titles is growing. Live at Pompeii improves across all three of the U.K.-based tallies on which it appears, while The Dark Side of the Moon can be found on four different rosters. Both albums currently reside on the Official Albums Sales, Official Physical Albums, and Official Rock & Metal Albums charts. The Dark Side of the Moon also reenters the Official Album Downloads list. Four Charting Albums by Pink Floyd Joining Live at Pompeii and The Dark Side of the Moon on the Official Rock & Metal Albums list are both Animals and Wish You Were Here, which return after falling away only recently. Those projects currently sit at Nos. 27 and 38, respectively.

Pink Floyd's Classic Album Brings The Band To A Milestone Its Only Seen Once Before
Pink Floyd scored a new No. 1 on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart in the United Kingdom just last week. The group's Live at Pompeii - MCMLXXII debuted atop the list, adding to its already-impressive run of bestselling titles in the genre. While that live recording begins to descend, the band has another reason to celebrate on the same ranking this frame as an older collection reaches a landmark figure — one that Pink Floyd has only achieved once before. Wish You Were Here celebrates its five hundred and fiftieth frame on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart this week. As it reaches that impressive milestone, the set climbs 10 spots, jumping from No. 35 to No. 25. Surprisingly, despite spending more than a decade on the tally, it has never reached the summit. Instead, it has thus far peaked at No. 3. Pink Floyd has now seen two efforts hit the 550-week milestone on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart. The only other release to do so is The Dark Side of the Moon, which not only reached that figure, but long ago passed it. That bestseller still stands as the group's longest-charting success, winning over Wish You Were Here by exactly 100 weeks as of this stretch. Only a handful of other Pink Floyd projects have crossed into triple-digit territory on the Official Rock & Metal Albums chart. The Wall recently passed 500 appearances. Animals has spent 148 frames on the list, while A Foot in the Door: The Best of Pink Floyd has racked up 123 turns. This week, the legendary rockers occupy four spots on the Official Rock & Metal Albums ranking. Two of those efforts, including Wish You Were Here, make notable gains. The Wall also ascends, rising from No. 38 to No. 29. Meanwhile, The Dark Side of the Moon holds steady at No. 13. Live at Pompeii, after debuting at No. 1, slips slightly to No. 3 in its second frame.
