The epic run of Pink Floyd‘s ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ on the Billboard 200 albums chart ended long ago, and you won’t find the 1973 classic on the magazine’s current Catalog Albums chart, either.

But don’t feel sorry for the legendary British band: ‘Dark Side’ still sells, at worst, an impressive 10,000 copies per week.

Do you have Pink Floyd's "Animals" album?

It was like deja vu yesterday in London when a giant inflatable pig, 30 x 15 feet, flew over the Battersea Power Station.

Organizers had hoped to use the original vinyl pig that's been in storage for 35 years, but it had leaks so they created a new one.

The Storm Thorgerson and Hipgnosis album cover was recreated to mark the release of remastered versions of Pink Floyd's 14 studio albums.
