Fifty years since it was first released, The Dark Side of the Moon remains one of the most popular, revered, and examined rock albums of all time. It has sold an estimated 50 million copies worldwide while setting a record for longevity on Billboard’s Top 200 album chart (724 consecutive weeks after its release, and more than 950 when accounting for reappearances). The breakthrough masterpiece stands as a kind of alpha and omega for one of the world’s greatest rock bands, which makes its creation, development and enduring success a thoroughly fascinating story.
