A rock album first released in 1976 is once again making noise on the charts.
The renewed chart success comes almost 50 years after Fantasy Records originally released the compilation in January 1976.
The album's latest placement adds another chapter to one of the most remarkable chart runs in rock history. According to Billboard data, Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits has now spent 802 weeks on the Billboard 200, making it one of the longest-charting albums ever.

Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits was designed as a complete collection of the band's biggest chart successes. The compilation includes 20 songs, featuring 13 A-sides and seven B-sides from Creedence Clearwater Revival's peak years.
The band's commercial success during the late 1960s and early 1970s remains impressive. Creedence Clearwater Revival scored 16 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, including nine Top 10 hits. Several of their best-known singles narrowly missed the top spot, with songs such as "Proud Mary," "Bad Moon Rising," "Green River," "Travelin' Band/Who'll Stop the Rain" and "Lookin' Out My Back Door/Long As I Can See The Light" all reaching No. 2.
The album's staying power has become one of the defining parts of Creedence Clearwater Revival's legacy.
The collection has maintained a steady presence on the Billboard 200 for years. It surpassed the 600-week milestone in 2022 and crossed the 750-week mark in June 2025. Now, with 802 total weeks on the chart, the album continues to attract listeners long after the band's original run ended.
Their influence continues to be recognized decades later. Rolling Stone ranked the band among its greatest artists of all time, while songs such as "Fortunate Son," "Proud Mary," "Who'll Stop the Rain" and "Bad Moon Rising" remain staples of classic rock radio.
