SOLD OUT: Chicago

American rock band Chicago, formed in 1967 in Chicago, Illinois, has recorded 36 albums and sold more than 100,000,000 records.

The group had a steady stream of hits throughout t the 1970’s and 1980’s. To date, Chicago has sold over 40 million albums in the U.S., with 23 gold, 18 platinum, and 8 multi-platinum.

In 2017, original band members Peter Cetera, Robert Lamm, and James Pankow were elected to the Songwriters Hall of Fame for their songwriting efforts as members of the music group.
