Happy New Year Roy...I was wondering when you would send out your first New Year posting on Chicago. Thanks for reiterating everything that you have told us a 10x before. Maybe 2009 is the year for your boys.

As of 2008, Chicago is # 19 on the list of the all-time charting artists on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart. This will continue to change as they release more albums. Chicago is # 13 all-time on the Billboard 100 Singles Chart. This won't change anytime soon since the singles business is pretty much dead! Chicago will hold that # 13 position for many years to come.

All those other bands that Rolling Stone Magazine likes to lump Chicago in with, (as guilty pleasures) don't even come anywhere close to Chicago on the Billboard Charts:

Boston, Kansas, Journey, Styx, Foreigner, REO Speedwagon, Air Supply, Bon Jovi (NOWHERE CLOSE!!!!) Chicago was better than all of them!!

Chicago belongs with this group:

The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, The Bee-Gees, The Who, The Kinks, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac

Chicago was the number one charting band of the 1970s. Elton John was number one overall.

01. Elton John
02. Elvis Presley
03. Neil Diamond
04. Barbra Streisand
05. Chicago

Chicago is the second all-time charting American Rock band behind The Beach Boys.

Chicago is 5th all-time among bands on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart:

03. The Beatles
05. The Rolling Stones
10. The Temptations
11. The Beach Boys
19. Chicago

Chicago is 4th all-time among bands on the Billboard 100 Singles Chart:

01. The Beatles
10. The Rolling Stones
12. The Bee-Gees

Chicago has sold 130 MILLION ALBUMS WORLDWIDE!

Chicago belongs in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame!

Who did Chicago influence? Their contemporaries, that's who!! You know, past inductees into the Rock Hall get to vote on who gets inducted each year. They get ballots in their mail boxes. So, Chicago is pretty much a shoe-in for the Rock Hall if only they would make the final ballot. We've got 7 more years before the class of 1990 beomes eligible.

INDUCT CHICAGO NOW!
