It also went to #7 on the Hot 100, #8 in Canada, #20 in Sweden, #24 in Australia, #27 in New Zealand, #49 in the Netherlands, and #88 in the UK.

On this day in 1979, the Dire Straits single “Sultans of Swing” debuted on the UK Singles Chart at #45 (March 10)
Check out Guitar George, he know all the chords…
The Mark Knopfler-penned track was one of five songs on a demo tape they used to get their record deal.
The tape got played on on BBC Radio London, and after catching the ear of record companies, it started a bidding war for the band, resulting in their first deal with Phonogram Records.
It became Dire Straits debut single, and was released on their self-titled debut LP.
Recorded on a shoestring budget, the song was originally released in May 1978, but didn’t actually chart that well when it was first released.
By 1979 however the song began to steadily move up the charts.
It finally became a hit more than six months after the relatively unheralded release of the band's debut album in October 1978.
BBC Radio was initially reluctant to play the song, but after it became a US hit, they relented.
“Sultans of Swing” went on to become one of the band’s signature songs, and made an impact around the world, peaking at #3 in South Africa, #4 in the US and Canada, #6 in Australia and Ireland, #8 in the UK, #11 in the Netherlands and #12 in New Zealand.
Allegedly “Guitar George”, and “Harry” in the lyrics are a nod to Australian music legends Harry Vanda and George Young from the Easybeats…
The song is on The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list, Guitar World ranked its guitar solo at the 22nd greatest, and Rolling Stone named it the 32nd greatest guitar song.
A true classic…

Dylan wrote the song in the summer of 1974, after his comeback tour with The Band that year, and his separation from Sara Dylan, whom he had married in 1965.
He’d moved to a farm in Minnesota with his brother, David Zimmerman, where he started writing the songs that were eventually recorded for his acclaimed “Blood on the Tracks” album.
It only peaked at #31 in the US, but the track was ranked #3 on Rolling Stone's 2016 list of the 100 greatest Dylan songs, with the staff describing it as "where emotional truths meet the everlasting comfort of the American folk song."

On this day in 1978, the Meat Loaf LP “Bat Out of Hell” debuted on the UK Albums Chart (March 11)
The classic rock LP written by the brilliant Jim Steinman stayed on the UK album chart for 522 weeks, making it the UK's fourth longest charting studio album behind Fleetwood Mac's “Rumours”, Pink Floyd's “The Dark Side of the Moon”, and Oasis' “(What's The Story) Morning Glory?”.
In 2022, it was named as the biggest-selling debut album in UK chart history.
The album was developed from a musical, Neverland, a futuristic rock version of Peter Pan, which Steinman wrote for a workshop in 1974, and performed at the Kennedy Center Music Theatre Lab in 1977.
Steinman and Meat Loaf, who were touring with the National Lampoon show, felt that three songs were "exceptional" and Steinman began to develop them as part of a seven-song set they wanted to record as an album.
The three songs were "Bat Out of Hell", "Heaven Can Wait" and "The Formation of the Pack", which was later retitled "All Revved Up with No Place to Go".
Steinman and Meat Loaf had difficulty finding a record company willing to sign them.
According to Meat Loaf's autobiography, the band spent most of 1975 writing and recording material, and two and a half years auditioning the record and being rejected.
Steinman says that it was a "medley of the most brutal rejections you could imagine."
According to Meat Loaf's autobiography, a CBS executive rejected the album, saying to Steinman:
“Do you know how to write a song?
Do you know anything about writing?
If you're going to write for records, it goes like this: A, B, C, B, C, C.
I don't know what you're doing. You're doing A, D, F, G, B, D, C.
You don't know how to write a song....
Have you ever listened to pop music?
Have you ever heard any rock-and-roll music.... You should go downstairs when you leave here...and buy some rock-and-roll records.”
Eventually, E Street Band member, Steven Van Zandt contacted Cleveland International Records, a subsidiary of Epic Records on their behalf, and after listening to the spoken word intro to "You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night)", founder Steve Popovich accepted the album for Cleveland.
The great Todd Rundgren was the producer.
In time, what started as one album became the epic “Bat Out of Hell” trilogy—“Bat Out of Hell”, “Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell”, and “Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose”—which has sold more than 65 million albums worldwide.
More than four decades after its release, the first album that no-one wanted still sells an estimated 200,000 copies annually and stayed on the charts for over nine years, making it one of the best-selling albums in history.
On the back of it, Meat Loaf became one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with worldwide sales of more than 80 million records, including unforgettable rock classics like “Bat out of Hell”, “You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth”, “Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad”, and “Paradise By The Dashboard Light”.

Boston’s founder, main songwriter, primary guitarist, and only remaining original member Tom Scholz was born Donald Thomas Scholz in Toledo, Ohio, on this day in 1947 (March 10)
His story is unique and fascinating…
As a child, Scholz studied classical piano, and he was a member of his varsity basketball team.
In the late 1960s, Tom Scholz began attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he began writing music.
While attending MIT, he joined the band Freehold, where he met guitarist Barry Goudreau and drummer Jim Masdea, who would later become members of Boston.
After graduating with a master's degree, he then began working for the Polaroid Corporation in the product development division.
With the money he earned from his job at Polaroid, Scholz designed and built his own recording studio in an apartment basement on School St, in Watertown, Massachusetts in the early 1970s, primarily using devices he invented himself.
The basement was described by Scholz as a "tiny little space next to the furnace in this hideous pine-paneled basement of my apartment house, and it flooded from time to time with God knows what."
Scholz began recording demos in his home studio while working at Polaroid, working for hours on end, often re-recording, erasing and discarding tapes in an effort to create "a perfect song".
By that time, Scholz, Goudreau, and Masdea were playing in the band Mother’s Milk when they auditioned a lead vocalist called Brad Delp, a former factory worker at a Danvers electric coil company, who spent much of his weekends singing in cover bands.
By 1973, Scholz had a six-song demo tape ready for mailing, and he and his wife Cindy sent copies to every record company they could find.
The songs on the demo were "More Than a Feeling", "Peace of Mind", "Rock & Roll Band", "Something About You", "San Francisco Day" (later changed and renamed "Hitch a Ride") and "Love" (later changed to "Don't Be Afraid").
They received rejection slips from several labels - RCA, Capitol, Atlantic and Elektra among the most notable - and Epic Records rejected the tape flatly with a "very insulting letter" signed by company head Lennie Petze that opined the band "offered nothing new".
He spent years unsuccessfully submitting demos to record companies…
Eventually Epic reconsidered, contacted Scholz and offered a contract that first required the group to perform in a showcase for CBS representatives, as the label were worried that the "band" was in reality a "mad genius at work in a basement".
In November 1975, the group performed for the executives in a Boston warehouse that doubled as Aerosmith's practice facility, and as a result, Mother's Milk was signed by CBS Records one month later in a contract that required 10 albums over six years.
For their first album, Epic wanted a studio version that sounded identical to the demo tape, but Scholz decided he could not work in a production studio, having adapted to home recording for several years, stating "I work[ed] alone, and that was it."
Scholz took a leave of absence from Polaroid, and was gone for several months to record the band's album. "I would wake up every day and go downstairs and start playing," he recalled.
John Boylan came onboard as producer, and it was him that suggested the band change their name to Boston.
Boylan's own hands-on involvement would center on recording the vocals and mixing, and he took the rest of the band out to the West Coast, where they recorded "Let Me Take You Home Tonight".
“It was a decoy," recalled Scholz, who recorded the bulk of the album back home in Watertown without CBS's knowledge.
Scholz recorded such tracks as "More Than a Feeling" in his basement with a $100 Yamaha acoustic guitar.
That spring, Boylan returned to Watertown to hear the tracks, on which Scholz had recut drums and other percussion and keyboard parts.
He then hired a remote truck from Providence, Rhode Island to come to Watertown, where it ran a snake through the basement window of Scholz's home to transfer his tracks to a 3M-79 2-inch 24-track deck.
The entire recording was completed in the basement, save for Delp's vocals, which were recorded at Capitol Studios.
Scholz wrote or cowrote every song on the first album (with the exception of "Let Me Take You Home Tonight," written by Delp), played virtually all of the instruments and recorded and engineered all the tracks.
The entire album was recorded for a cost of a few thousand dollars, a paltry amount in an industry accustomed to spending hundreds of thousands on a single recording.
The album was released in 1976 and became the biggest-selling debut album by any artist up to that time, and the single "More Than a Feeling" has become a rock classic.
Scholz has appeared on every Boston release, and in more recent years, he has dedicated much of his money and time to charitable work.
After the success of Boston, Tom Scholz founded Scholz Research & Development, Inc. to develop and market his inventions, many under the Rockman brand.
He holds several patents related to his work at SR&D over the years.
