Friday Floyd - 12/12/14

Dark Side of the Moon is back on the Billboard Top 20 charts! This week a familiar face climbed all the way up to number 13 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. This chart tracks the highest selling albums for the week in the US. Dark Side of the Moon is the longest charting album in the chart's history. The album has been somewhere on the chart for 874 weeks, including a 741 week stay from the albums debut in 1973 to 1988 when it fell off the chart. Since then, it has bounced on and off the chart to a total of 874 weeks and not it's back on it again. Perhaps it's because of a new interest in the band now that they have released a new album. Perhaps it's because the album was available for a $0.99 download on the Google Play store. Regardless, my favorite album of all time is back on the charts putting a 40+ year old album back into relevancy. Here's Us and Them from Dark Side of the Moon to help celebrate this occasion.
