Pink Floyd‘s 1973 album “The Dark Side of the Moon” was the third best-selling “catalog” album of the decade, according to Billboard magazine.
The album followed “Legend” by Bob Marley & The Wailers at #2, and “Greatest Hits” by Bob Segar & the Silver Bullet Band, which was the best-selling catalog album of the decade.
Billboard defines catalog albums as those that are at least 18 months old, and have fallen below #100 on the Billboard 200 chart, or are reissues of older titles.
“Dark Side” recently rejoined the Billboard 200 after a 20-year absence. The album is Billboard’s longest-charting album ever.
