But in 1981, they were thrust into the limelight with their feel good anthem Don’t Stop Believing. Although the song cropped up in TV shows and movies, the band never quite recaptured that initial success.
That was until 2009 when the popular TV show Glee covered the song. While the Glee version performed well, the original Journey track rocketed up the charts, peaking at number 9 in the UK.
It continues to perform well in digital downloads, consistently being one of the most downloaded songs not of the 21st Century.

So well put, solo...and it doesn't need The Sun to elaborate - what do they know about
real music anyway?!
Great band, and I must confess that Don't Stop Believin' would have been the first song I ever heard by this great band Journey, though not from Glee I hasten to add! It was in a pub in Hull called the Trog Bar circa 1981-82 I think.
Bought the single, then the album and gradually got them all after that
