The opening track from Journey's seventh album, "Don't Stop Believing" was merely a modest hit when it was released in 1981, reaching No. 8 on Billboard's mainstream-rock chart.
"Open Arms" off the same album was actually the biggest hit, reaching No. 2.
Recently "Don't Stop Believing" has been reborn as the stadium anthem of choice and become one of the most popular sing-a-longs for people of all ages.
The song closed the popular Sopranos series, was prominently featured in the Family Guy television series, and is the featured song of the new Fox show Glee.
The most amazing feat happened in 2008 when it became the most downloaded song in iTunes history.
From ESPN's article on the greatest stadium anthem: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=paulas/090901
Maybe the greatest version ever of the song:
