(TeamRock Radio) Pink Floyd's final album The Endless River has set another online record, after becoming the most pre-ordered title in the history of Amazon in the UK. Streaming firm Spotify have revealed that the track Allons-y (1) is the most viral in the history of their service.

And they've commented on the "remarkably young" audience who have included Floyd on over three million playlists to date. Spotify say: "The band has never been more popular with us - which is saying a lot, because fans unlocked their entire catalogue by listening to Wish You Were Here over a million times on a single weekend.

"Who's doing all this listening and sharing? We found that Floyd skews remarkably young globally, with over 60% of its audience under 35, its strongest listening among 18-22 year-olds, and 80% of its playlisters under 34. Pink Floyd appears to be reaching a really young crowd through Spotify."
