Here we have the first punk record to peak at 40. There were lots of punk bands having hits in 1978, some well known and some only really known to fans of punk or people who know their music. 999 were a band that would have been the latter.
Although this would be their only Top 40 single, they were by no means a short lived band. They have 14 singles and 12 albums to their name and are still active today with their latest album coming out in 2020.
This was single number 7 from album number 2. With a song titled "Homicide" from a band named 999 within what was a pretty controversial genre at the time in punk, it's probably safe to assume this didn't get much radio play.
