for 1500 combined weeks.

It's estimated that one in every 14 Americans under 50 own a copy.

The last time it hit #1 was in 2003 when they rereleased the hybrid copy.

Just some cool factoids.

    I have owned at least two copies in the cd format. I think I have owned both cassette and vinyl at one time or another. The eight track might be the only that I missed. :)

    It wasn't number #1 on the Top 200 album chart, but on the 'catalog' chart. Dark Side will never be on the Top 200 again, because after x amount of time, all albums are ineligible for that particular chart. They instituted that rule because Dark Side had been in the top 200 for so long.

    Ony because the Wall is a double album. Divide those numbers in half to get the actual amount of albums sold.

    stop what you are doing.
    go to the nearest record store or to your preferred online music store.
    purchase DSOTM immediately.
    play immediately... preferably through headphones.

    simply put, one of the most classic albums in the history of recorded music and it must be listened to in its entirety...
