Chronicle, Vol. 1, also known as Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits, is a greatest hits album by the American swamp rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival. It was released in January 1976 by Fantasy Records.[1] The edited version of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" featured on the album was simultaneously released as a single (see 1976 in music).[2]
Chronicle, Vol. 1 is a singles collection with 13 A-sides and seven B-sides. Unlike the two previously released Creedence Gold compilations, Chronicle Vol. 1 includes all of the group's charted hits. Chronicle, Vol. 2 was released in 1986, and features non-charting "classics" collected from the same albums as the songs on Vol. 1.
Certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America,[3] it is the best-selling album in the band's catalog. The compilation was ranked number 59 in the updated version of Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of all time.[4] It has sold 6,357,000 copies in the US since 1991, when Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales for Billboard.[5] It was re-released on vinyl in 2014 as a Limited Edition.
