According to Billboard, Chicago was the leading US singles charting group during the 1970s. The guys sold more than 38 million copies in the United States, earning 22 gold, 18 platinum, and eight multi-platinum albums. The band is second only to the Beach Boys as the most successful American rock band of all time, in terms of both albums and singles ... not a bad track record.
