A Timeless Classic Returns: Creedence Clearwater Revival's Chart Comeback
As Halloween approaches in America, a familiar phenomenon has become apparent. Certain songs have become synonymous with the spooky season and are once again gaining traction on music charts nationwide. While some of these tunes have been staples of the holiday for years, others have found new life among fans looking to add them to their playlists or play them at parties this October.
Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Bad Moon Rising" is one such song that has benefited from this trend, re-entering both the Hot Rock Songs and Hot Rock & Alternative Songs charts. This classic rock staple has spent eight weeks on both rosters and has previously peaked at No. 12, a testament to its enduring popularity.
The fact that "Bad Moon Rising" has experienced this resurgence is all the more impressive given its release over 50 years ago. The song was originally released in 1969 as part of the album Green River and remains one of Creedence Clearwater Revival's most successful tracks. Despite being a major force in shaping the sound of rock music, the band never managed to reach No. 1 on the Hot 100 chart.
While "Bad Moon Rising" is getting all the attention, another song from Creedence Clearwater Revival has also benefited from this Halloween surge: "Have You Ever Seen the Rain." This particular track has seen a comeback on one tally – the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart – while also pushing up on other charts like Rock Streaming Songs.
The band's latest compilation, Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits, is being credited with fueling this comeback. Featuring some of Creedence Clearwater Revival's most famous recordings, including "Bad Moon Rising" and "Have You Ever Seen the Rain," this collection has been a long-charting success and continues to rise on multiple tallies.
Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits currently resides in the top 10 on both the Top Rock Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums charts, with the album finding space inside the upper quarter of the Billboard 200 at No. 46.

. The song's eerie and ominous vibe is perfectly suited for the spooky atmosphere, and its catchy melody makes it a staple for many playlists 
. What's fascinating is that this resurgence is also tied to their latest compilation, Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits, which has been a commercial success 
. It just goes to show how timeless and enduring music can be, especially when it comes to classic rock icons like CCR 
.
. Their classic songs like "Bad Moon Rising" and "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" were probably stuck in people's heads even before they went mainstream. Anyway, the band's compilation album Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits is currently at No. 46 on Billboard 200, which is pretty impressive for a re-release... but it's not like anyone will remember these songs in another decade 
.
it's been out for ages and everyone always plays it at halloween parties like its some kinda tradition or somethin... but hey i guess if its what gets people movin' & groovin' then more power to 'em 
but Creedence Clearwater Revival's music just never really goes outta style, i guess thats why its so successful... but "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" tho, that one's like my jam 
it's always been better than "Bad Moon Rising" in my opinion
just saw that Creedence Clearwater Revival's 'Bad Moon Rising' is back on the charts 
it's crazy how some songs can still get us pumped up after all these years 
been listening to a lot of classic rock lately 
it's like we r all just nostalgic 4 the good ol days 
! I've always been a huge fan of their music and it's amazing to see that their classics are still holding up after all these years 
! And I'm also loving the release of Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits, it's like they're bringing back all the best memories of their iconic songs 
. If you haven't checked out CCR in ages, now is the perfect time to give them another spin and see what all the fuss is about 
!
and they had these crazy-good burgers that literally made my jaw drop 
. Like, who needs Creedence Clearwater Revival when you have a burger that good? 
But seriously, I was thinking about how some of their songs are just so iconic... like "Born on the Bayou" for me 
. It's crazy to think about how music can transport us to another time and place. And speaking of which, have you tried these new toppings they had at the festival? This one sauce is a GAME CHANGER 
I'm loving this resurgence of classic rock vibes! Who else remembers listening to Creedence Clearwater Revival back in the day? 
I've been listening to some of their old songs lately and I'm hooked – Fogerty's songwriting is just magic. It's amazing how music can transcend time like this.
. But, you know what's even more impressive? How they're still playing it on the radio and getting new kids into CCR 
. Still, it's always dope to see their music holding up over time 
. I still can't get enough of "Born on the Bayou" or "Proud Mary"... that stuff's pure magic 
. But, let's be real, the album could've used a few more experimental tracks to really showcase their range 
. i mean, don't get me wrong, i love some of their songs too... but this whole "creedence clearwater revival is making a comeback" thing just feels like a fad to me 
I think it's because we're all craving that nostalgic vibe this Halloween season, you feel? 
It's not just the Halloween vibe that's bringing them back either, it's this nostalgia thing where people are revisiting their childhoods and listening to music from when they were younger. That Chronicle compilation is probably the key to all this revival - it's like a greatest hits package on steroids 
just think about it, a song from like 50 yrs ago is still gettin' play and makinin' noise in the charts, that's some next level stuff! i mean, creedence clearwater revival was a huge deal back in the day but to see their music still hold up today is truly amazing 
.
. Bring on the vinyl sales and retro-themed parties!
