You can't keep a good album down

Proof that you cannot keep a good thing down, Pink Floyd's landmark 1973 album "The Dark Side of the Moon" has re-entered the US Billboard Hot 200 charts. It's re-entry follows a revamp of qualification rules. This week, the album slotted back in at number 189. The last time the album was on the Billboard chart was October 8th, 1988, the week it dropped out of the charts having spent a couple of decades there. DSOTM's reappearance marks its 742nd week on the chart.

Here's the all-time top 5 stateside, as Kasey Kasem might say. Can't see Johnny Mathis catching up with the Floyd at this stage...
