Roger Waters’ The Dark Side of the Moon Redux returns to four U.K. charts, while the original album … More
Pink Floyd has never faded away on the charts, thanks primarily – but not exclusively – to one of the bestselling albums of all time. This week, the legendary band is once again found on the U.K. rankings. Decades after the group reshaped rock music, its most iconic release is climbing the ranks once more — alongside a newer take from one of its founding members.
While The Dark Side of the Moon continues to sell and stream well, Roger Waters celebrates his own chart wins with his reinterpretation of that same classic, The Dark Side of the Moon Redux.
Roger Waters’s The Dark Side of the Moon Redux Returns
This week, The Dark Side of the Moon Redux is back on four different rankings across the U.K., proving there’s still major demand for any version of Pink Floyd’s legendary album.
Among the four rankings it appears on this frame, The Dark Side of the Moon Redux climbs into the top 10 on half of them. It performs best on the Official Rock & Metal Albums list, where it rockets back to No. 4. The release also returns to the Official Vinyl Albums tally, coming in at No. 9.
The Dark Side of the Moon Redux Hits the Top 20
The same release also makes it into the top 20 on two other U.K. rankings focused on purchases. The Dark Side of the Moon Redux settles at No. 17 on the Official Physical Albums chart and appears just behind that at No. 18 on the Official Album Sales roster.
Roger Waters Has Already Hit No. 1
While its current success is impressive, it’s worth noting that The Dark Side of the Moon Redux has already reached the top of each of the four charts it returns to this week.
The set has now spent 13 frames somewhere on the Official Rock & Metal Albums ranking, seven periods on both the Official Album Sales and Official Physical Albums lists, and just three on the Official Vinyl Albums chart.
A Super Deluxe Version of The Dark Side of the Moon Redux
A super deluxe box set of The Dark Side of the Moon Redux dropped on March 14. The expanded edition includes the studio recording, live renditions of every track from Waters’ October 2023 performances at the London Palladium, exclusive Blu-rays, a gold vinyl pressing, and even a track-by-track interview. All of that has clearly enticed collectors and superfans, many of whom are eager to experience every facet of the ambitious project.
The Original and the Redux Are Both Winning
Waters released The Dark Side of the Moon Redux in October 2023 to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of the original album’s release. While some fans and critics questioned the need for a solo reinterpretation, the numbers show there’s still a huge appetite for his take.
This week, the original version of The Dark Side of the Moon is also present on four U.K. charts, as both editions have carved out meaningful space with listeners.
