Which group released better-selling albums during the 1970s?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Exploring the question about which group released better-selling albums in the 1970s invites a quick recall of 1970s chart success across rock bands.
Option 1: Velvet Underground. While influential, their studio output in the 1960s and early 70s did not reach the same commercial heights as some contemporaries, making this choice less aligned with the idea of top-selling albums in the decade.
Option 2: Foreigner. This band achieved substantial commercial success throughout the late 1970s, with multiple multi-platinum albums and hit singles that dominated radio and sales charts, aligning with the description of better-selling albums during the era.
Option 3: The Stooges. They are renowned for influence and impact on punk and proto-punk, but their record sales in the 1970s were modest compared to the era’s blockbuster acts, so this option is unlikely to be the top seller of the decade.
Option 4: The MC5. Similarly to the Stooges, they are historically important but did not compile market-dominant album sales in the 1970s, limiting their position as the best-selling group of that period.
By weighing commercial impact, chart performance, and album sales magnitude, Foreigner stands out as the group with the strongest sales footprint in the 1970s, while the others did not reach comparable levels of mass-market release and chart longevity.
