1969 - Chicago Transit Authority's self-titled debut album goes Gold, eight months after its release, thanks to play on freeform FM radio stations. For their next album, the band shortens their name to Chicago.

1994 - A remixed version of The Four Seasons' "December, 1963 (Oh, What A Night)" re-entered the US Hot 100, where it stayed for another 27 weeks, just as it did when it first charted in 1976. The combined run will establish a record for the longest total chart appearance in US chart history.
