Pink Floyd - DSOTM sets new Chart record

The Pink Floyd album "Dark Side of the Moon" has chalked up 1,500 weeks on the Billboard charts since it made its debut at the No. 95 position on the Top 200 chart on March 17, 1973. According to Billboard, more than 14 years — 736 weeks, to be exact — passed before it dropped off in July 1988, but it came back again and then ran for 759 weeks on the Top Pop Catalog Albums chart. The company reported that about 40 million copies of "Dark Side of the Moon" (Capitol/EMI) have been sold, and it still sells 8,000 to 9,000 copies a week. Billboard reported that the runner up to "Dark Side" on the Top 200 chart is "Legend" by Bob Marley and the Wailers, which is several years behind: Pink Floyd leads Marley in total chart weeks by almost 2 to 1.
