It’s one of the most revered of albums, often ranked as THE BEST album of all time, but only ever got to 2.
Mind you, The Wall only peaked at 3 as well.

Which is why I say all the time chart position means nothing. Its weeks on chart and copies sold that matters. Chart position is just bragging rights. The same with the Grammy awards. Some of the crappiest songs won Grammys. Pink Floyd's Dark Side of The Moon is revered on this side of the pond too. It stayed on the Billboard hot 100 charts for well over a decade. Tusk only peaked at #4 in the states and was considered a flop by many. However its global sales have eclipsed Mirage sales which was a #1 album in the States.

I think there should be a recount. Behind the Mask went to #1 in the UK and Greece yet its nowhere to be found.

I am shocked that Street Angel and the Other Side of The Mirror is not on these lists
