March 1, 1973 –
Pink Floyd released their eighth studio album, Dark Side Of The Moon, on this date.
The album debuts at an inauspicious #95 on the US Albums chart, but has become the album with the most weeks on the Billboard charts, thanks in large part to a run from 1977-1988 when it never left. With an estimated 45 million copies sold, it is Pink Floyd’s most commercially successful album and one of the best-selling albums worldwide.
