Pink Floyd, the iconic English rock band, continues to make waves in the music industry. Their timeless hit, 'Eclipse,' has surged to the top 10 on the U.S. iTunes chart, currently holding the No. 8 spot. This sudden rise in popularity can be attributed to the recent solar eclipse that has captivated the nation.
'Eclipse' is a track featured on Pink Floyd's legendary album, Dark Side of the Moon, which remains one of the most successful albums in American music history. The album holds the record for the most weeks spent on the Billboard 200 chart, with an impressive 988 weeks on the list, surpassing other iconic albums like Bob Marley and the Wailers' 'Legend'.
Despite not being released as a single in 1973, 'Eclipse' has found renewed success in recent years. In 2017, coinciding with another solar event, the song peaked at No. 24 on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart. Now, with the current surge in sales, 'Eclipse' has the potential to make a significant impact on various Billboard charts next week.
The enduring popularity of Pink Floyd's music is evident, with 'Eclipse' outselling contemporary hits on digital platforms. The band's influence and legacy continue to resonate with audiences, solidifying their status as one of the bestselling rock bands of all time.
