The album itself made it huge, peaking Billboard Top Independent Albums charts. Perching at the number five position on the Billboard 200, Journey tickets soon became hot commodities among music buffs of the nation.

The only constant factor in the band was the music prodigy, Neal Schon. The talent machine was part of the former Carlos Santana band.

The impact of the band’s wise decision was evident with the sales of their fourth album, selling over a million copies in the initial year. Infinity and Evolution both did quite well for themselves. The first three albums were largely instrumentals consisting of jazz rock music. They next ventured on a Live album, Captured. The album Escape catapulted them to unseen heights of stardom, gaining them recognition among the top pop groups. The album contained in it three top ten hits including, “Open Arms,” “Who’s Crying Now” and “Don’t Stop Believin’.” The album topped all music charts and did a wonderful business, selling over millions of copies in its initial year.
Frontiers releasing during the early eighties featured hits like, Separate Ways. The success so many albums compelled Perry release a solo album, Street Talk. The album released in 1984 and achieved double platinum status. After two years elapsed the band thought of making another album thus releasing Raised on Radio.
