Chronicle: 20 Greatest Hits

Chronicle, or fully Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits, is a greatest hits album by the American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival. It was released in January 1976 by Fantasy Records. The edited version of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" featured on the album was simultaneously released as a single. Chronicle is a singles collection with 13 A-sides and seven B-sides. Unlike the two previously released Creedence Gold compilations, Chronicle includes all of the group's charted hits. Chronicle: Volume Two was released in 1986, and features non-charting "classics" collected from the same albums as the songs on Chronicle. Certified 12× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, it is the best-selling album in the band's catalog. The compilation was ranked number 59 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time in 2012, but disappeared from the list altogether when it was published again in 2020. The album has sold at least 6 million copies in the US since 1991, when Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales for Billboard. It has remained on the Billboard 200 chart for 12 years, reaching the 600 week-mark in August 2022.
