Me too.

But in terms of album sales…

CHICAGO IX - CHICAGO’S GREATEST HITS sold a respectable 5MM. A lot of older albums also did well.

But Chicago 17 sold 6MM (their best selling album) and their GREATEST HITS 1982-1989 album sold 5MM.

Again, the tastes and needs of their fans changed. They exploited these changes and profited handsomely.

Trump did the same. I doubt if Reagan could get elected vs Trump nowadays, but then Trump would have gotten trashed by Reagan in 1984.

And it is what it is.

Can’t disagree with that. Foster and Cetera made them all pretty rich.
