Creedence Clearwater Revival’s Chronicle returns to the Top Streaming Albums chart and climbs four … More
Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits by Creedence Clearwater Revival is already one of the longest-running successful albums in American history, and it has been for many years. The compilation is the fifth-longest-running title on the Billboard 200, with more than 750 weeks on the ranking to its credit, and Chronicle adds to that total every time Billboard refreshes its lists.
The collection is having another huge week in the United States, as it rises on multiple tallies and even returns to one ranking. In one instance, the compilation — now almost 50 years old — even manages to return to its peak position.
Creedence Clearwater Revival Climbs
Billboard’s ranking of the most consumed EPs and full-lengths specific to the rock genre sees Chronicle step up from No. 5 to No. 3. As it climbs, the compilation matches its previously-set peak on the tally. The singles-packed release first reached that high point in February 2023, years after it first landed on the Top Rock Albums list.
Chronicle Rises on Four Billboard Rankings
The compilation lifts to No. 5 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums ranking, to No. 30 on the Top Album Sales tally, and to No. 31 on the Billboard 200 this week. Chronicle moved about 18,300 equivalent units in the past tracking period, up 12% from the frame prior, according to Luminate.
Sales made up about 2,400 copies of that total. While that figure is actually down from the week before, competition is not nearly as fierce on the Top Album Sales list, which allows Creedence Clearwater Revival to grow.
Chronicle Also Returns to the Streaming Ranking
As Chronicle ascends on the aforementioned four rankings, the compilation also breaks back onto the Top Streaming Albums chart. John Fogerty, who is credited separately alongside Creedence Clearwater Revival in just one instance, reappears at No. 35 on Billboard’s 50-spot ranking of the most successful projects on platforms like Apple Music, Tidal, and Spotify.
“Fortunate Son” Rocks Back As Well
As Creedence Clearwater Revival finds its way back to the Top Streaming Albums chart, the group also reappears on another streaming list in America. “Fortunate Son” rises to No. 21 on the Rock Streaming Songs tally, earning its milestone seventieth stay on the roster.
