David Gilmour can almost always be found on a variety of charts in the United Kingdom, though it’s usually with the band that changed the look and sound of rock music forever: Pink Floyd. This week, he’s back on the rankings under his own name — as well as with the group – and he’s winning with a family affair.
The guitarist’s recent single debuts inside the top 10 on several U.K. rosters, becoming a proper smash on multiple lists at once. While the rocker is used to huge wins on the charts, this time, he’s brought his daughter Romany along, and she joins him in the commercial success.
David Gilmour Teams Up With His Daughter
“Between Two Points” is a single taken from Luck and Strange, Gilmour’s fifth full-length solo album. The set arrived back in September 2024 and was an immediate commercial and critical success in the U.K. Months after the project’s release, Luck and Strange is still producing wins. “Between Two Points” sees Gilmour collaborating with his daughter Romany, and while the song itself has been out for more than half a year, it’s only just become a smash on a handful of tallies across the Atlantic.
David Gilmour’s First Solo Top 10
This week, “Between Two Points” enters both the Official Physical Singles and Official Vinyl Singles charts. It starts in a lofty position on both lists, debuting at No. 8.
“Between Two Points” also returns to the Official Singles Sales chart this frame. It reappears at No. 10, giving both Gilmour and his daughter their first top 10 hit on that specific list. That’s a new high point for the tune, which had previously only climbed as high as No. 48. Back in September 2024, when it was initially released, the track spent just two weeks on the tally — first at No. 78, then slightly higher, before vanishing.
David Gilmour’s Record Store Day Win
“Between Two Points” is one of many songs that hit the charts in the U.K. thanks to Record Store Day 2025. The cut was reissued as a clear 12-inch vinyl, and the special, newly-minted version includes four tracks, which are all actually different iterations of the same song. The two Gilmours faced a lot of competition from other exciting offerings made available exclusively for the music industry holiday, and “Between Two Points” is one of the top performers.
A Rare Solo Top 10 for David Gilmour
While Gilmour has appeared on countless U.K. charts over the years — both solo and with Pink Floyd — top 10 solo hits are still fairly rare for him. “Between Two Points” becomes just his second appearance inside the top 10 on the Official Vinyl Singles chart under his own name. The track also earns Gilmour just his third top 10 on the Official Physical Singles tally.
