Aerosmith was formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1970 by vocalist Steven Tyler, guitarists Joe Perry and Ray Tabano, bassist Tom Hamilton, and drummer Joey Kramer.

Notes

edit
  • The Mainstream Rock Tracks chart was not created until 1981 and the Top 40 Mainstream chart was not created until the 1990s. Thus, both charts only include material after their creation.
  • "Crazy" was released as a double A-side with "Blind Man" in the United Kingdom, so the chart position of #23 is given for both.
