The breakthrough came with "Worlds Apart" (1981), an album certified gold in the USA and Germany, which produced the radio and MTV hits "On The Loose" and "Wind Him Up". In 1982 the band received the Juno Award in the category "Most Promising Group of the Year".

Later albums such as "Heads or Tales" (1983) included further hits such as "The Flyer". The band has released 22 studio albums, various live albums and compilations. Over the years Saga created the 16-part Chapter series, a conceptual sci-fi song cycle that was completed with the album "The Chapters Live".

Saga have sold more than ten million albums worldwide and received numerous gold and platinum awards. The Z7 has been located in Pratteln near Basel since 1994. Visitors come from a radius of 250 kilometres.
