The discography of American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival, who released their first album and singles in July 1968,[1] includes 7 studio albums, 5 live albums, 43 compilation albums, and 29 singles. The group, although only active for 4 years, has sold more than 45 million albums and singles in the United States alone,[2] and has charted in multiple countries throughout the world.
Creedence Clearwater Revival never had a Billboard No. 1 hit in the United States.[3] Five of their singles peaked at No. 2. They have the dubious distinction to have the most singles reach the top 10 (nine of them) without ever hitting number 1.[citation needed]

[edit]Notes
[edit]- 1 2 In the US, "Fortunate Son" and "Down on the Corner" were released as a and b sides on one single. Billboard magazine changed its practice of counting sales and airplay separately for each song beginning with the chart published on 29 November 1969.[38] On 22 November, "Fortunate Son" and "Down on the Corner" were at number 14 and number 21 respectively.[39] On 29 November the combined sides were at number 9,[40] and they peaked at number three for one week on 20 December.[41][42] Billboard-licensed music historian Joel Whitburn assigns a peak Hot 100 chart position of number 14 to "Fortunate Son" and number three to "Down on the Corner".[43]

To more accurately reflect the proper position a single record with a two-sided hit on the Hot 100 chart, and all other singles charts, Billboard will list the single record rather than the two sides at a different position. The new system will be effective with the Nov. 29 issue. Examples of the two-sided hit in the current chart are: ...Fantasy's "Fortunate Son" and "Down on the Corner" by the Creedence Clearwater Revival, in positions 14 and 21, respectively,...
