‘Agents of Fortune’ is the fourth studio album released by American rock band Blue Öyster Cult.
The album became the band’s most successful and peaked at number 29 in United States Billboard chart. 1976 also saw the introduction of the RIAA‘s Platinum certification, which required an album to sell over one million copies.
