you're not taking in to account one factor.
Kiss were bigger in Europe and the rest of the world in the 80s than they were in the 70s. Because they knew that their popularity was declining in North America they made a point to play in places like Europe, Australia & South America more regularly, places they either hadn't played in years or had never been to.
And it worked, Lick it Up was their highest charting album in the UK up till that point.
