The new album “Nightmare in Paris – Live 1970” also enters

Although they haven't been an active band for years, Pink Floyd never really disappear from the rankings. Especially from those of the United Kingdom, where the albums of the English group continue to be among the best sellers, with classics such as “The Dark Side of the Moon” and “The Wall” that appear regularly – and rarely disappear for a long time – in various charts. This time – reports Forbes – the historic psychedelic band adds another title to the impressive list of successes in the standings.
“Nightmare in Paris – Live 1970” by Pink Floyd made his debut, in fact, at number 29 in the weekly office ranking Official Rock & Metal Albums, focused exclusively on rock and metal albums best selling in the United Kingdom. This new job offers fans another sound taste of the first live shows of the British band.

The debut of “Nightmare in Paris – Live 1970” is just one of the reasons why this is an exceptional week for Pink Floyd in the rankings. In fact, the English training occupies five positions in the Official Rock & Metal Albums, conquering over 10% of the list, consisting of 40 titles. The list includes some of the most loved projects in the history of rock – and one of these has returned near the summit. “The Dark Side of the Moon” – Forbes informs – dates back to number 3 in the gender ranking. An exceptional result for an album over 50 years behind, but far from unusual.
In addition to “Nightmare in Paris – Live 1970” and “The Dark Side of the Moon”, three other Pink Floyd albums have returned to the Official Rock & Metal Albums this week: “Wish You Were here”, “The Wall” and “Animals” returned to the ranking, respectively at positions 16, 17 and 22.
Released on CD at the end of March, “Nightmare in Paris-Live 1970” documents a performance at the Théâtre Comédie des Champs-Élysées in Paris. The lineup includes songs from the early years, rarity and songs that would then appear in the great studio albums. An exit that immediately became a collector's object for the most avid fans.

No possibility, however, of a reunion of the group's historical nucleus. The guitarist David Gilmour, if there had still been doubts, has definitively clarified that he will no longer play with Roger Waters: “I tend to stay away from those who actively support genocidal and self -conscious dictators such as Putin and Maduro – said the guitarist to the British Guardian – nothing could convince me to share the stage with one who thinks that treatment reserved for women be okay. editor's note), one of the kindest and musically gifted people I met in my life. “In another recent interview, in Mojio, Gilmour had revealed that he had not regretted the accusations aimed at Waters, but to be more than ever intending to turn the page, expressing all his frustration regarding the continuous questions about their relationship. He also revealed that he was not interested in the last work of Waters and shared reflections on the songs His comfortable to perform, such as “Run like Hell” and “Another Brick in the wall”, preferring to focus on those who feel most of his, such as “Comfortably number” and “Wish You Were here”.

The dispute between Gilmour and Waters has been going on for decades. Waters left the Pink Floyd in a stormy way in 1985, with Gilmour assumed the leadership of the group for albums “A Momentary Lapse of Reason” (1987) and “The Division Bell” (1994), then followed in 2014 by “The Endless River”. Waters remained distant from his ex-compagni and openly criticized the work of the ex-compagni, despite a sporadic reunion for a unique performance at Live 8 in 2005, before the death of the keyboardist Richard Wright in 2008.
The controversies have continued over the years, for example when, in 2022, Gilmour and the drummer Nick Mason made the single “Hey, Hey, Rise Up!”, As a sign of protest against the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and Waters attacked them defining the song “empty and patriotic”. Gilmour's wife, Polly Samson, did not send them to say on Twitter accusing Waters of being “a supporter of Putin, a liar, a misogynist” and other serious offenses (including playback in playback), about which Gilmour in a later tweet wrote: “Each word is true and demonstrable”.
The last time the two shared the stage was during the Roger Waters “The Wall” tour in 2011. In the meantime, the Pink Floyd catalog was sold after the signing of a 400 million dollars agreement with Sony Music for the rights of recorded music, the name and image of the English band.
