According to my handy Whitburn, Badfinger had four hit singles.  So as 
a commercial hitmaking force, they were roughly as big as, say, 
Bananarama. Don't get me wrong, I love Badfinger (for that matter, I 
love Bananarama), but particularly after 1972, they were not a 
particularly huge band. 





*I think this is a good point. Power Pop has very, very rarely been all that big 

a force in music sales. Most of the classic bands we love have gained in stature over time 

and I think this distorts how we perceive them.
