Bob Dylan Reaches Number One With 'Modern Times' Six Years Ago

1978 – ‘Don't Look Back’ From Boston Hits #1
1978 – ‘Don't Look Back’ From Boston Hits #1

Boston’s sophomore album, “Don’t Look Back,” hit number one on September 16, 1978.

The album was another smash for Tom Scholz and company, selling more than 4 million copies in its first month of release. “Don’t Look Back,” which featured the hit title track and the songs “Feelin’ Satisfied” and “Party,” marked the beginning of a long legal battle between Boston and Epic Records.

Scholz felt that the company rushed the release of the album before it was ready. The animosity would lead to a long court battle, which would keep the band from releasing another album for eight years.
