Pink Floyd 1968WOW - it's now the 27th YEAR of Brain Damage, your Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Syd Barrett, Richard Wright and Roger Waters news resource!

Marking the 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd's iconic 1975 album, a range of Wish You Were Here 50 celebratory editions: deluxe box set, blu-ray, 3LP set, 2CD set and coloured vinyl single LPs came out at the end of last year. Full details here. The LA 1975 concert, recorded by Mike Millard and remastered by Steven Wilson, came out as a standalone item on 4LP for Record Store Day, and 2CD across most of the world.

The stunningly restored and remixed Pink Floyd At Pompeii MCMLXXII on Blu-ray, 2CD, 2LP, DVD, and digital was also released in 2025 - and is NOT to be missed. As is the 4K UltraHD edition out now!

Also last year, celebrating the concerts to coincide with David Gilmour's album, Luck and Strange, cinema/IMAX screenings, and a book, 2Blu-ray, 3DVD, 4LP, 2CD and deluxe box set options were also released and are getting very high praise.

The Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets 2024 Set The Controls tour revealed a band in even better form than the 2022/23 shows which managed to exceed everyone's hopes and expectations! Our sincerest hopes are that they continue, but in the meantime, there's their RSD release, and the earlier live recording from London's Roundhouse on Blu-ray, DVD/2CD, and 2LP which is really excellent.

Of course, Roger Waters read three extracts from his memoirs in October 2023 at the London Palladium, so it might not be too much longer before that is published...he's also working on his new album based around The Bar - we'll let you know as soon as we get all the info! Before all that though is the release of Roger Waters This Is Not A Drill Live In Prague on 4LP vinyl, Blu-ray, DVD, 2CD and digital which is out now.

Pink Floyd's The Endless River - UK's number one album Print E-mail
Written by Matt   
Sunday, 16 November 2014

Pink Floyd - The Endless RiverThis evening, Pink Floyd's new album, The Endless River, went straight in to the UK's official album charts at the coveted number one spot, demoting Ed Sheeran's album X, and keeping the new Calvin Harris album Motion at bay. Taylor Swift's album 1989 also felt the Floyd effect. The new Queen and Foo Fighters albums couldn't compete either. It is Pink Floyd's sixth UK number one, and the last time the group topped the chart was back in 1995 with live double album, PULSE.

A spokesperson for the band told OfficialCharts.com: "Pink Floyd is both thrilled and surprised at the level of international interest in this their final album. They want to thank the fans for their support and hope that in some small way, The Endless River has reminded them of the old fashioned joy of listening to an album in its entirety."

Album charts in other countries are now also starting to show The Endless River, and it has reached number one in Belgium, Croatia, Germany, Ireland, Israel, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Norway. Italy and Australia are clearly tougher nuts to crack, with the album entering their charts at number two and three respectively.

On the subject of The Endless River, our exclusive interview with Egyptian cover artist Ahmed Emad Eldin will be here very shortly, giving you some background to Ahmed, his life and work, and what TER's cover image was originally called...

UPDATE: Pink Floyd's official Facebook page has been updated to reveal that the album is now number one in twenty countries - UK, Germany, France, Canada, The Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Ireland, New Zealand, Poland, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Italy, Croatia and Slovenia. Other charts include: USA � 3, Australia � 3, Finland � 4, Spain � 6, with many more to come. They also note that TER is the best-selling album in Romania, although there are no official charts there.
