Many congratulations to the triumvirate of Pink Floyd related releases for the 2024 Record Store Day. The annual event celebrates the work of independent record stores, and sees a few hundred different exclusive releases and editions. Before the day, pre-orders are not permitted, and on the day (this year, on April 12th) potential purchasers need to queue at their nearest participating store. Once at the counter, they can buy as many different titles as they wish, but they can only have ONE copy of each different title.

As with conventional releases, they are eligible for chart placings, and the releases from Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets (with Echoes), David Gilmour with Romany Gilmour (with Between Two Points), and Roger Waters (with the live Redux of The Dark Side Of The Moon) all feature very healthily in the UK charts!

• Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets: Echoes
  Official UK Singles Sales Chart (physical AND digital): in at number 8, one week on the chart
  Official UK Physical Singles Chart: in at number 6, currently at number 17 (still on chart)
  Official UK Vinyl Singles Chart: in at number 6, currently at number 15 (still on chart)
• David Gilmour with Romany Gilmour: Between Two Points
  Official UK Singles Sales Chart (physical AND digital): in at number 10, one week on the chart
  Official UK Physical Singles Chart: in at number 8, currently still at number 8 (still on chart)
  Official UK Vinyl Singles Chart: in at number 8, currently at number 7 (still on chart)
• Roger Waters: The Dark Side Of The Moon Redux Live
  Official UK Album Sales Chart (physical AND digital): in at number 45, one week on the chart
  Official UK Physical Albums Chart: in at number 44, one week on the chart
  Official UK Vinyl Albums Chart: in at number 36, one week on the chart
  Official UK Record Store Chart: in at number 37, one week on the chart
  Official UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart: in at number 4, one week on the chart
  Official UK Independent Albums Chart: in at number 12, one week on the chart

Of the three releases, the Saucers release was the hardest for people to get their hands on, and with the number of major artists releasing special titles on Record Store Day, there's a lot of competition for chart places, so to go in at number 6 in the physical and vinyl singles charts is a great achievement. David and Romany's release is also selling strongly still, as remaining copies are available online now from the stores. As for Roger's, slightly lower placing than we'd expect, although all of those who bought the recent deluxe box set will have had the live version already, which might have informed purchasing choices on the day. Congratulations again to all three for these releases!
