Over 50 years after putting out some of their biggest hits, America is back on the Billboard charts again.
The '70s soft rock band ended up back on the Billboard leaderboards this week with their 1975 compilation album, History: America's Greatest Hits, which re-entered the Billboard 200 at No. 180, according to new standings dated the week of July 18.
The album has now spent a total of 68 weeks on the Billboard 200, previously peaking at No. 3 just one month after its release in November 1975.
It contains the most iconic tracks from America's discography, including their smash hit debut single, "A Horse with No Name," which spent three weeks on the Hot 100 in 1972.
The group's signature track, "A Horse with No Name" has since surpassed one billion streams on Spotify, earning it a spot in the platform's elite "Billion's Club."
The Greatest Hits record also features America's only other Hot 100 chart-topper, "Sister Golden Hair," which came out as a single in 1975 and was later featured on their fifth studio album, Hearts.
Other fan-favorite tracks also appear on the Greatest Hits compilation record, like "Ventura Highway," "Tin Man," "You Can Do Magic" and more.
In 1986, the album was officially certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), signifying one million units sold.
The album's resurgence comes more than five decades after America arrived on the music scene in the '70s, a testament to the lasting legacy of the band's beloved catalog.
