Pink Floyd have made history with their upcoming album The Endless River, which has become the most pre-ordered record of all time on Amazon.co.uk. The group’s first album in 20 years has now overtaken One Direction’s major smash hit Midnight Memories, also beating out the likes of Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen and Ed Sheeran.
Director of Amazon EU Digital Music Steve Bernstein commented “Pink Floyd now have the most pre-ordered album on Amazon.co.uk, which is an outstanding achievement for the band and also proves that they remain one of the most popular groups to grace the UK music scene.”
“After waiting for 20 years, our customers have relished being able to listen to new work by Pink Floyd. By pre-ordering The Endless River on CD or vinyl, customers know they will receive a digital download of the album for free into their Amazon Music Library on the day the album is released through Amazon AutoRip,” he added.
