Pink Floyd Star David Gilmour Earns His First Solo Top 10 Smash

David Gilmour earned his place in rock history many years ago. As an integral member of Pink Floyd, he accomplished more than most musicians will ever come close to, and even though he’s no longer with the group, he’s still hard at work.

This week, it’s Gilmour himself — not the band that made him a star — who claims the spotlight. Thanks to a special Record Store Day release, the veteran rocker nabs a brand new solo win that pushes him into territory he’s never seen before on his own.

David Gilmour Hits the Top 10

Gilmour participated in Record Store Day 2025 by issuing a 12-inch vinyl edition of his song “Between Two Points,” and that limited drop becomes a quick success. The tune reemerges on the Official Singles Sales chart, landing at No. 10. It’s the first time the cut has ever reached the top 10 on the U.K.’s list of bestselling individual tracks..

“Between Two Points” Has Charted Before — But Never Like This

“Between Two Points” has actually appeared on the Official Singles Sales chart before, though not at nearly the same level. The track first landed back in September 2024, debuting at a modest No. 78. After disappearing for several weeks, it made a surprise return in November, jumping to a new high of No. 48 before fading again.

David Gilmour Scores a Solo Career Milestone

With “Between Two Points,” Gilmour earns his first solo top 10 placement on the Official Singles Sales chart. It’s a career milestone that comes more than five decades into his tenure as a musical powerhouse. The cut is now his third song as a solo artist to appear on the U.K.’s purchase-only singles tally.

His first solo entry came in mid-2020, when “Yes, I Have Ghosts” peaked at No. 47. A few years later, “The Piper’s Call” barely made an appearance, reaching just No. 98 in May 2024. The track also gives Romany Gilmour — David’s daughter — her first top 10 credit on the tally in the U.K., as she’s officially featured on the song.

Pink Floyd Beat Its Own Member to the Top 10

While this is Gilmour’s first solo top 10 hit on the Official Singles Sales chart, he’s already reached the summit as part of Pink Floyd. In 2022, the band released “Hey, Hey, Rise Up,” a standalone single designed to support Ukraine during its war with Russia. The powerful track, which featured Ukrainian musician Andriy Khlyvnyuk, soared to No. 1 on the same list.

“Hey, Hey, Rise Up” spent nine weeks on the chart, two of which were at the top. That release marked the first time Pink Floyd had ever ruled the ranking, and easily it’s biggest success on that one tally.
