Chicago

Enjoy your site. I think you have the same Chicago album listed twice in 1970. Many people list both Chicago II and Chicago as the 2nd Chicago album after Transit Authority.

The fact that there are no source charts with both "Chicago" and "Chicago II" listed, which supports your suggestion. We have decided you are correct and implemented your fix.

Thanks for the input
