Thanks for posting, I saw that report yesterday and was thinking how epic that album has become in the world of music. It is the cornerstone of rock music and several different genres of rock music.
Bottom line is it continues to sell and remains, what looks to be, a permanent fixture among all music store shelves and bins. The pressing of CDs and records of this album does not look to end anytime soon, probably not in any of our lifetimes......Do you think it ever will??

	An astounding fact, and thanks for sharing. It is, of course, a classic, one of those albums which captured the zeitgeist not merely of its time, but for subsequent generations. What a shame it all ended in sheer hatred with three of the protagonists.

	According to Forbes magazine, Dark Side of the Moon has re-entered the Billboard 200 charts at the number 154 position. It has now (as of April 18, 2024) occupied a position on the top 200 chart for 989 weeks. If it hangs in there for 11 more weeks, it will be the first album to have charted for 1000 weeks. The next nearest competitor is Legend by Bob Marley and the Wailers at 830 weeks, but it's unlikely to ever catch up to DSOTM. Apparently, the recent eclipse has renewed interest in the album. https://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2024/04/18/pink-floyds-dark-side-of-the-moon-is-inching-closer-to-a-historic-milestone/?sh=efdfea16212a Edited by wiz_d_kidd - April 19 2024 at 10:06
