ok, here's an interesting on, one member of PF appeared on a very popular late night TV show here in the US...who was it and what was the show?
Music from the body was actually as good as I was expecting it to be, not great but considering how it could have been, I was pleasantly surprised.
Answer to your question, even though I don't live in the US and don't have a clue to the real answer, I guess David Gilmour and the show was The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Unless it was more recent and then it could have been Nick, but take my first answer only please.

You pick good questions, Kimbers
Assuming the answer to that question was right...
I'm feeling generous, so here's a couple of give-aways.
What are the only two albums in music history to have sold more copies than "The Wall"?
What is the only Floyd album to reach #1 on both sides of the Atlantic? (US and UK, just to avoid confusion.)

#2 is Atom Heart Mother.
#1 is wrong for a start, there are about 40 albums above The Wall in worldwide sales according to RIAA, when you consider each sale as singular and not each disc, (only now counts as double album eligible for each disc when over 100 minutes I believe). But if you are only considering US sales and want to count each disc seperately as was done previously, it's Eagles' Greatest Hits and Michael Jackson's Thriller. Those figures are also out of date though and I did post the top 100 list a few months back.
It is not Atom Heart Mother. That only got to #55 in the US.
Just to clear it up as well, The Wall has sold about 21 million copies, (using single album rather than disc figures), worldwide to date and DSOTM has sold over 35 million.

not the answer I was looking for....
Well, judging from the history of questions that are left behind after the first incorrect answer (something I have contributed to in the past, I know), I'll just say this:
The only Floyd album to reach #1 in both the US and UK is:
The Division Bell.
Thank you.

It was Nick Mason on David Letterman, right?
