It’s 2025 and Pink Floyd is back at No. 1. The legendary rock band scores a brand new chart-topping album in the United Kingdom as At Pompeii - MCMLXXII debuts in first place on the list of the most consumed full-lengths and EPs in the country. Pink Floyd has been on quite the winning streak lately, with both a hugely successful concert film re-release and now a bestselling album to go with it, and both come from recordings made more than half a century ago.

At Pompeii - MCMLXXII marks Pink Floyd’s seventh chart-topper in the U.K. The group hasn't collected a new champion since 2014’s The Endless River, which stands as its last studio LP of original material.

Pink Floyd first reached the summit on the Official Albums chart in 1970 with Atom Heart Mother. Over the decades, the group returned to the throne with Wish You Were Here, The Final Cut, The Division Bell, Pulse (Live), and then later The Endless River.

Including its seven No. 1s, Pink Floyd has now earned a milestone 20 top 10s on the Official Albums chart. That roster includes some of the group’s most successful efforts, which somehow never managed to dominate this all-encompassing ranking, including beloved projects like The Dark Side of the Moon, Animals and The Wall, all of which lived inside the top five for a time.

At Pompeii - MCMLXXII shares its name (at least partially) with a concert film Pink Floyd recorded in 1971 in the ancient Roman ruins. It was originally released the following year and has since become not just a huge commercial and critical success, but also the blueprint that which many other musical acts have followed.

The movie was recently restored and re-released into cinemas around the world. So far, the film has earned about $6.5 million at the global box office, enough to make it one of the top-performing music-related projects of the year.

The film’s soundtrack dropped shortly after the movie became a top performer again at the box office and was released in various formats, including — for the first time — on vinyl.
