Pink Floyd's Pompeii recording tops UK album charts

Pink Floyd has secured its seventh UK No. 1 album with the release of "Pink Floyd at Pompeii – MCMLXXII," a recording of their 1972 concert. This marks their first chart-topper since 2014. The album, featuring a new sound mix, captures the band's performance in the ruins of Pompeii, previously documented in a concert film. The standalone release follows the film's restoration and rerelease in cinemas, including IMAX. The success of the Pompeii recording extends Pink Floyd's chart legacy, with previous No. 1 albums including "Atom Heart Mother" and "Wish You Were Here." The band's final studio album, "The Endless River," was released in 2014.
