Six60 Break Pink Floyd’s Chart Record
Released in March 2015, Six60 (II. the Colours album) debuted at #1 on the NZ album chart and has remained in the top 40 ever since, breaking the previous record held by Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon.
No strangers to breaking records, this is a new level of domination for the Kiwi band. Dark Side of the Moon is one of the best-selling albums of all time having spent a total of 297 weeks in the charts since its release in 1973. Amazingly, Six60 have surpassed that feat (reaching 298 weeks in the charts on November 14) in consecutive weeks in less than six years, which makes this new record that much more astonishing.
The record comes less than two weeks before the release of their new film Six60: Till The Lights Go Out in cinemas nationwide on November 26.
Produced by Notable Pictures and directed by award-winning director Julia Parnell, the film tells the story of New Zealand’s biggest band, revealing their untold story of ambition and creative vulnerability. Harnessing the fighting spirit of the rugby field, the film shows how Six60 transformed a desire to win into musical domination, previously unseen in Aotearoa.

Kicking off a busy summer period, the band have just released their latest single Fade Away here ahead of the return of their classic gigs, Six60 Saturdays. Six60 Saturdays is set to be another groundbreaking tour for the multi-platinum group who recently sold over 130,000 tickets to their SATURDAYS tour earlier this year.
Audiences attending the gigs will be treated to the first live performances of Six60’s latest material. The band have been working on some brand-new tracks throughout this year following up from last year’s epic release that produced stand out hits The Greatest, Please Don’t Go, Long Gone and Sundown.
This time, Six60 Saturdays is taking on new cities and large outdoor venues. With a 100% Aotearoa artist line up, each concert features a handpicked selection of musical guests. It is a unique chance to see some of NZ’s A-List artists up on the big stage again in what feels like an eternity after lockdown and catch debut performances from some of our hottest new acts!
Six60 Saturdays will take place through January and February 2021 across Waitangi, Hastings, New Plymouth, Christchurch, Wellington and Hamilton. Tickets are on sale now at www.six60.co.nz
