Is not Careless Whisper co-written by GM's bandmate Andrew Ridgeley as well?

Could I ask when.the article will come. I cant wait to read your newone great analysis, especially Bestseller artist like Elton

Exclude CYFTLT, I perform her songs's voices version in the film

Hi Daydreamer!

Careless Whisper is one of the very first songs they have written when they were teenagers, so indeed the process was less professional and they made the song mostly together, although it seems this was more about GM since they are his memories. The participation of Ridgeley in the composition is the only reason why it appears on a Wham album as he doesn't sing nor play an instrument on it! The single was credited to GM only.

In a couple of hours at most 😉

I don't see specific mention for the Experience and Immersion sets for Dark Side, Wish You Were Here and The Wall. Seemed these each sold relatively well on Amazon when they came out, and thought the might show up in the box set section. Are these numbers accounted for somewhere in the total? If so, is there a specific breakout somewhere for these extended sets of these albums. I'm always been curious how well these sets sold. Thanks.

Hi Lance! These sets have been merged into their certifications / chart runs by most official sources so we did the same too. As time goes, we have been more and more careful about detailing everything when it is possible, so we may do it for these packages when we update the article in the future!

Do you have Pink Floyd Numbers in Norway? I wonder who sold more in Norway: Bruce Springsteen or Pink Floyd

Where did you get the 2m figure for TDSOTM in Italy?

Hi XSWL!

It's a patchwork of various official data and calculation methods to fill in the holes. We know that:
- it topped the million mark during the year 1989 as confirmed by Billboard back then
- it shipped 100,000 copies during the year 2003 (M&D)
- it sold at retail over 225,000 since 2009 (FIMI)

From charts (weekly and annual), it was also routinely selling from 25,000 to 50,000 units a year from 2004 to 2008. That puts it on 1,5 million in total for years 1973-1989+2003-2018. Then the largest years (by far) for Italian market are still missing, from 1990 to 2002. During each of the 3 periods with identified sales, it sold 9% (up to 1989), 10% (2003-2008) and 16% (2009-now) of US sales. From 1990 to 2002, it sold 6,5 million units at retail there, calculating with 9% concludes on 585,000 units in Italy for the same time frame which sounds good considering the market size / what we know about its pace of sales, an overall total closing in 2,1 million by now!

You didn't added Zabriskie Point soundtrack in the Pink Floyd CSPC, but on the other hand you added a lot of Zabriskie Point soundtrack songs in the Pink Floyd streaming list(Streaming Part 7). A bit weird, isn't it?

The album is not a Floyd album but the songs are Floyd songs.

Here on the Neptune the Zabriskie Point soundtrack is considered as Pink Floyd album. It was released under the name ”The Dark Side of the Zabriskie Point”. 🙂

Pink Floyd released 2011 box set 'Discovery'. 16 discs. Why it isn't included here? Or it's just my mistake and I can't found it...

No, you are correct Matrix. It seems to have been overlooked, as I can't see it placed in any section of the analysis.

Yep, you are both correct, the box doesn't explicitely appears! Back then without Discogs we weren't as precise as we are now while describing a discography. For these career-spanning boxes, when they got big enough to be certified on their own they were listed, elsewhere I simply used to add their sales directly into the individual albums, same as I did for 2/3 CD packs. If newly updated, I would definitely list everything clearly so that there is no ambiguity left.

Pink Floyd are the one of two artists to have two 50+ million albums each. The another one is Michael Jackson.

I think it's not too fair to compare Grease to The Wall... the first is a multi-artist soundtrack while The Wall must be considered as a real album on a par with The Dark Side... WYWH etc. My 2 cents.  

Pardon, which live albums did PF issue in the 73-79 time frame ?

You've misunderstood what was said. He's not meaning live albums from 73-79, he's meaning live albums from the 80s,90s etc that included tracks from their 73-79 studio albums.

Correct, Martin!

Has the album 'Wish You Were Here' lost about a million or so EAS recently?

Just out of interest, after Queen, Michael Jackson and The Beatles, are Pink Floyd the biggest selling album artist (all types) in Europe?

Yes, just above Madonna, who obviously sold much more singles.

I wonder how much Abba and U2 are separated from this top 5
