Dark Side of the Moon

The statistics for sales of the record are staggering and worth relating in brief.
Dark Side of the Moon has sold 35 million copies worldwide and rising. It’s estimated that one in four homes in the UK has a copy.
With the October 13, 2001 edition of the Billboard chart, DSOTM celebrated its 1,278th week (25 years) on either the Top 200 Pop Album or Top Pop Catalogue Album chart. No other album has stayed longer on any chart in history.
With the advent of CDs, EMI re-released it (its catalogue number is EMI 001) and DSOTM established itself as one of the top ten biggest selling records of all time.
Amazingly, it never reached number one in the UK and only made the number one place for one week in the USA.
