It took 741 weeks, but on this day in 1988, Pink Floyd's ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ dropped off the Billboard's Album Chart.

That, my friends, was a record breaker, and it still stands today.
The next album closest to it, is Johnny Mathis' 'Greatest Hits' coming in at 490 weeks.
That's quite a gap!

Other Classic Rockers in the Top 10 list of longest stay on the Top 200 chart, include Metallica's 'Metallica' at 319 weeks, and Journey's 'Greatest Hits' coming in at 218 weeks.

Let's honor Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' with a video of 'Speak To Me/Breathe' for our Classic Rock Pick of the Week.
