On this day September 7, 1987, Pink Floyd released their 13th studio album A Momentary Lapse of Reason, marking a significant moment in the band’s history. The album quickly rose to #3 on the Billboard charts in the US, and achieved the same position in the UK, while hitting #1 in New Zealand.

With over 10 million copies sold worldwide, A Momentary Lapse of Reason was a commercial success, despite being the first album without founding member Roger Waters. Hits like Learning to Fly and On the Turning Away showcased the band’s ability to evolve, capturing the attention of both longtime fans and a new generation of listeners.
