Pink Floyd Record Store Day 2025 Chart Positions
Pink Floyd Record Store Day 2025 Chart Positions came as quite a surprise to many! For this year’s Record Store Day 2025, three exclusive titles were unveiled—one each from Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets, David Gilmour with Romany Gilmour, and Roger Waters. Each release was pressed as a limited-edition collectible, intended for sale at participating independent record shops. The strict “one copy per title” rule helped bolster their collectible status and ensured a focused, devoted audience of collectors and fans.
Read on to discover the chart positions, some “interesting statistics” and how Pink Floyd moved away from singles in their early days.
Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets: “Echoes”
Nick Mason’s release, “Echoes,” made an impressive debut on the Official UK Singles Sales Chart at number 8, having spent one week on the chart. On the Official UK Physical Singles Chart it entered at number 6 and is now listed at number 17, while the Official UK Vinyl Singles Chart shows the same initial peak of number 6 with a current position at number 15.
David Gilmour with Romany Gilmour: “Between Two Points”
The dual release, “Between Two Points,” by David Gilmour with daughter Romany Gilmour has similarly made its mark. It entered the Official UK Singles Sales Chart at number 10 (after one week on the chart) and debuted on the Official UK Physical Singles Chart at number 8, where it remains. On the Official UK Vinyl Singles Chart the release started at number 8 and has since risen to number 7.
Roger Waters: “The Dark Side Of The Moon Redux Live”
Roger Waters’ reimagined live version of Pink Floyd’s seminal album saw a more modest chart performance. The release entered the Official UK Album Sales Chart at number 45 (with one week on the chart), reached number 44 on the Official UK Physical Albums Chart, and hit number 36 on the Official UK Vinyl Albums Chart. It also charted at number 37 on the Official UK Record Store Chart, soared to number 4 on the Official UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart, and managed number 12 on the Official UK Independent Albums Chart. Despite these respectable numbers in various album categories, the release did not generate the kind of top-tier success that might have been hoped for.
The Enduring Success of the Classics
The steady performance of these releases—mostly steeped in the nostalgia of an era many were too young to experience live—demonstrates that “oldies” still enjoy strong appeal. In a marketplace where many vinyl buyers did not grow up during Pink Floyd’s original heyday, the resurgence of classic material through special editions confirms that iconic tracks and old-world formats maintain a timeless allure, captivating both seasoned collectors and curious newcomers alike. It is fascinating that the sale of vinyl records, which compete against the convenience of digital, perform so well.
UK Demographics: Buyers Born After 1994
A fascinating trend shaping the current vinyl market, probably evident in Pink Floyd Record Store Day 2025, is that a significant number of UK collectors were born after 1994! According to the 2021 British Census, around 36% of the UK population was born after Pink Floyd stopped touring in 1994! Only 24% of people were born before 1965 when Pink Floyd were first formed – as a continuation of The Tea Set.
Pink Floyd stopped touring in 1994. This younger demographic, raised amid the digital revolution, is increasingly seeking the tactile and aesthetic experience of vinyl records. Their enthusiasm for Record Store Day highlights a cross-generational dialogue, where the legacy of Pink Floyd and similar acts is being rediscovered by a fresh audience that values the tradition of physical music collecting.
Pink Floyd’s Historical Shift Away from Singles
Historically, after a run of Pink Floyd singles that did not meet commercial expectations, particularly Point Me at the Sky on 6th December 1968, Pink Floyd made a decisive move away from releasing standalone singles in favour of conceptual album projects. This shift allowed the band to focus on long-form narratives and immersive soundscapes—elements that have become the cornerstone of their albums ever since.
Now time to spin the record player up and listen to some Pink Floyd goodness!
