Journey is eternal. To date, the band has sold nearly 50 million albums in the U.S., and more than 100 million records worldwide. Astoundingly, from 1978 to 1986, the band released six consecutive multi-platinum albums—one of which also went diamond. Today, Journey continues rolling in the cycle of life. The band’s music is everything, everywhere, all at once—movies, television, video games, sporting events—and the heart races and crowds cheer, and sing along, from the moment their familiar songs start playing.
