The Dark Side of the Moon sales and certifications edit
† The album has sold 9,167,000 copies since Nielsen SoundScan started tracking album sales in 1991.[201] The previous year the album received a 11× Platinum certification from the RIAA. Ignoring the possibility that its shipments exceeded sales in 1991, total American sales likely pass the 20 million mark. Momentos sales and certifications edit
