Two more highly successful studio albums were released in less than a year: "Rock and Roll Over" (November 11, 1976) and "Love Gun" (June 30, 1977). A second live album, "Alive II", was released on October 14, 1977. All three albums were certified platinum soon after their release. Between 1976 and 1978, Kiss earned $17.7 million from record royalties and music publishing. A 1977 Gallup poll named Kiss the most popular band in America. In Japan, Kiss performed five sold-out shows at Tokyo's Budokan Hall, breaking the previous record of four held by the Beatles.
