Double Listing 'Creedence Clearwater Revival'
#18 should be called just 'Creedence Clearwater Revival' & should be combined with #9 (per Joel Whitburn).
Data fixed, thanks

(5) Listings - 'Chronicle'
The following (5) albums all refer to 'Chronicle' or 'Chronicle - 20 Greatest Hits'. I believe they should be combined. Per Wikipedia it has sold over (10) million copies just in the US & has charted in many other countries. The albums are #7 & #18 & #20 & #22 & #1 (under Duets w/John Fogerty) Your thoughts?
We make that 307 weeks in the Billboard charts. Data fixed
