During an Australian tour in early 1978, Electric Light Orchestra was presented with 9 platinum awards for the albums Out of the Blue and New World Record.
In 1979, the multi-platinum album Discovery was released, reaching #1 the UK and Australian albums charts. Although the biggest hit on the album (and ELO’s biggest hit overall) was the rock song Don’t Bring Me Down, the album was noted for its heavy disco influence.
By the end of 1979, ELO had reached the peak of their stardom, selling millions of albums and singles.
