Chicago IX:
Chicago's Greatest Hits
is the first
greatest hits album,
and ninth album overall,
by the American band
and was
released in 1975
by Columbia Records
Including all of
Chicago's
biggest hits to date,
this set stretches
from their
1969 debut,
Chicago Transit Authority
referred to as
Chicago I
in the
original LP liner notes
to 1974's
Chicago VII.
Chicago VIII
and its hits,
having only come out
just months earlier,
were considered
too recent to anthologize,
while Chicago III's
material was overlooked
for inclusion
due to its lack of
top-selling singles.
Chicago IX
proved to be an
enormous success
upon its release.
It reached No. 1
in the US
the fifth and final
consecutive album
to do so
and remained
on the
Billboard 200
for a total of
72 weeks.
It has since been
certified
quintuple platinum
by the RIAA,
signifying sales of over
five million copies.
Chicago IX
was reissued by
Rhino Records,
Chicago's current distributor.
The album
did not chart
in the UK.
