Under pressure to write another megahit akin to “Carry On Wayward Son,” Livgren came up with “Dust in the Wind” — the only problem was that he didn't like it very much and thought it was nothing like the band’s previous sound. In fact, Songfacts reported that Livgren was timid about sharing the song with the band for the first time, thinking they’d hate it, too. But they didn’t. They loved it and recorded it for their Point of Know Return album.
“Dust in the Wind” peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the band’s signature hit. It also marked one of the most successful crossovers of all time, with heavy rotation on rock, country, adult cotemporary radio stations. Its legacy has grown even more over time in pop culture, with references in Old School, Freaks and Geeks, Highlander, and so many more.
“Kansas’s ‘Dust in the Wind’ has reached 1 billion streams on Spotify,” Canadian music journalist, blogger, and radio host Eric Alper wrote on Facebook. “The song peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100. It began as a simple fingerpicking exercise before becoming the band’s biggest hit.”
