“Dark Side” approaches 1,000 weeks on Billboard chart

Posted January 10, 2026 by Floydian Slip

Billboard Top LP's & Tape chart, March 17, 1973“The Dark Side of the Moon,” Pink Floyd‘s seminal album from 1973, is approaching 1,000 non-consequetive weeks on the Billboard 200 album chart. It sits at #167 on the most-recent chart, dated Jan. 10, marking its 996th week.

Released in March 1973, “Dark Side” became the longest-charting LP in Billboard history in 1983. It’s held that title ever since.

But for a quirk in Billboard rules that prohibited older “catalog” albums from re-entering the Billboard 200 between 1991 and 2009 — the magazine changed that rule in ’09 — “Dark Side” likely would have passed the 1,000-week milestone years ago.

Its 996 weeks on the chart equal more than 229 months — more than 19 years — otherwise unheard of in Billboard history. The second-longest charting album is “Legend: The Best of Bob Marley and The Wailers” at 920 weeks. “Journey’s Greatest Hits” is third at 890 weeks.

The Billboard 200 became a weekly part of the magazine in March 1956.

Listen to past episodes of “Floydian Slip”

Posted December 29, 2025 by Floydian Slip

Patreon“Floydian Slip” has partnered with Patreon to allow fans access to our archive of past programs.

When you sign on as a Slipporter at Patreon for $5 a month, you’ll receive on-demand access to the digital archive of our weekly Pink Floyd radio program that goes back to 2009.

“The most-common question I get asked is how people can listen to past episodes,” program producer and host Craig Bailey says. “Now you can.”

Bailey created “Floydian Slip” in 1989 on a campus station as a student at Ithaca College in upstate New York. Over the last nearly 40 years, he’s produced more than 1,550 episodes.

“Unfortunately, I didn’t start saving shows for posterity until I self-syndicated the program in 2009,” he says, which explains why Slipporter access only reaches back to ’09. Still, there are currently more than 850 shows waiting to be made available, and the pool grows each week.

We’re rolling out the archive by making available four (4) past episodes each month. Slipporters will be notifed by email when programs are added to the archive, and can listen to the shows on-demand and commercial-free at Patreon.

Programs will have aired across our Random Precision Radio Network of more than 120 stations at least two (2) years prior to being made available on Patreon.
