 | | Chicago (although not yet named so) was formed first, but their yet to be conceived first album would be the third of that style released. |
 | | The Chicago Transit Authority was released in April, 1969, hit the Billboard album chart for the week ended May 17, 1969, peaked at #17, and by 1972, had been on the charts for 148 weeks, then the highest-ever total for a rock album, with many more weeks to come over the years. |
 | | Chicago II was the double album that gave Chicago not only a shortened name (due to legal threats from the bus line, even though they were using CTA's songs in their ads without paying for them!), but also significant radio exposure, as well. |
