The Wall is the eleventh studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 30 November 1979. It is a rock opera that explores Pink, a jaded rockstar whose eventual self-imposed isolation from society forms a figurative wall. The album was a massive commercial success, topping the US Billboard 200 for 15 weeks, and features some of the band's most recognizable tracks, including "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" and "Comfortably Numb".
