although 1973 is supposed to be Prog's banner year, not one full on prog album in that chart. |
It's only 1 week's chart though. I'll bet there were a lot of prog albums in the chart over the whole year, |
Yes I think there must have been, the charts was changing fast, just as today

I think a lot of the big prog sellers from 1973 - Dark Side of the Moon, Tales from Topographic Oceans and Brain Salad Surgery (God it's tiring typing out prog album titles) were released late in the year.

Hot Chocolate - So You Win Again kept ELP off the top spot in 1977. That always rankled with me.

Dunno tha accurate stats but NEKTAR's 'Remember The Future' charted in the U.S. somewhere mid-chart during 1973. That's an accomplishment for a full-on Space-Prog band

Sorry, I meant The Hump. I've never forgiven him for this.

These albums are commonly known as DSOTM, TFTO and BSS.
