PINK FLOYD: ONE WEEK AT NO. 1… 741 WEEKS ON THE CHART

On October 8, 1988, Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon reached an extraordinary milestone: 741 accumulated weeks on the Billboard 200.

Released in March 1973, the album had spent just ONE week at No. 1 in America.

But it kept coming back.

For more than 15 years, Pink Floyd's masterpiece remained a remarkable presence on the U.S. album chart.

Those 741 weeks weren't consecutive, but they established a record that became one of the most extraordinary achievements in music history.

October 8, 1988 marked its final chart appearance during that original run. The album wouldn't return to the Billboard 200 until 2009, following changes to the chart's eligibility rules.

Its longevity earned recognition from Guinness World Records, and its cumulative total has continued growing since its return.

“Time”?

It didn't top the charts forever.

It just refused to leave.
