The late Ace Frehley‘s history on the Billboard Hot 100 chart is stacked with iconic rock smashes like “Beth,” “Rock and Roll All Nite (Live)” and “Shout It Out Loud,” all from his work as a founding member of the rock band KISS, in addition to his own late 1970s solo smash “New York Groove.”
After KISS formed in 1973 with Peter Criss, Frehley, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, the band would begin its Billboard chart takeover in April 1974, when its self-titled debut album hit the Billboard 200, while the single’ “Kissin’ Time” arrived on the Hot 100 the following month.

Before Frehley departed KISS in the early 1980s, the band had racked up an impressive collection of hits on the Hot 100, including top 40-charting singles like “Rock and Roll All Nite (Live)” (a No. 12 hit in 1976), “Shout It Out Loud” (No. 31 in 1976), the ballad “Beth” (No. 7 in 1976), “Hard Luck Woman” (No. 15 in 1977) and the disco-flavored “I Was Made for Lovin’ You” (No. 11 in 1979). (Frehley would famously reunite with KISS in 1996 for a reunion tour and new albums. He left the act a second time in 2002.)
In 1978, the four founding members of KISS each released their own solo albums and singles, with Frehley scoring the highest-charting Hot 100 hit of the quartet, with his No. 13-peaking “New York Groove” in 1979. Its parent album, Frehley’s self-titled solo debut, would reach No. 26 on the Billboard 200 and become his first of more than 10 charting albums (both as a soloist or as the frontman of the band Frehley’s Comet) through 2024’s 10,000 Volts.
