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.^[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 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 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 Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Albums of all time in 2012,^[4] 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 (data from 2013), when Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales for Billboard.^[5] It has remained on the Billboard 200 LP chart for 12 years, during which it reached the 600 week-mark (non-consecutive) in August of 2022. It was re-released on vinyl in 2014 as a Limited Edition.
