Creedence Clearwater Revival Almost Returns To The Top 10 Decades After Breaking Up
Creedence Clearwater Revival hasn't recorded or toured as a group in more than 50 years, and yet the band remains a staple in American music. The rockers helped define the Southern rock genre and contributed a string of massive singles that millions of people continue to discover — or regularly rediscover. This week, the group is enjoying yet another resurgence on the Billboard charts, as one of its most popular releases nearly breaks into the top 10 once again.
Creedence Clearwater Revival's Chronicle Rises
Chronicle: The 20 Greatest Hits appears on three separate Billboard rankings this frame, and it's moving in the right direction on all of them. Creedence Clearwater Revival's compilation steps up one space across each tally, which might not sound like a massive achievement, but the set's across-the-board growth – which takes place than half a century after the band disbanded – is proof that those singles may never completely disappear from public consciouness.
Chronicle Almost Hits the Top 10 Again
This week, Chronicle jumps to No. 11 on the Top Rock Albums chart. That's just one rung away from returning to the top 10, where it has previously spent quite a bit of time. While it doesn't quite make it to that region this time around, it wouldn't be surprising to see the collection inch even higher in the coming weeks – perhaps even when Billboard refreshes its rankings again in just a few days.
CCR is Close to the Top 10 on Two Rankings
Chronicle doesn't only nearly break into the top 10 on the Top Rock Albums chart — it comes close to doing so on another Billboard list as well. The set lifts to No. 14 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart, which is slightly more competitive, since it blends both rock and alternative releases into one hybrid ranking.
Chronicle Climbs on the Billboard 200
Beyond the genre-specific charts, Chronicle also grows on the Billboard 200, the all-genre ranking of the most-consumed albums and EPs in the U.S. This frame, it rises to No. 66, up from No. 67, which isn't near the top 10, but no one could argue is not a solid placement for a title that's been around for decades.
Chronicle's Long History on the Charts
In the past, Chronicle has made it as high as No. 3 on both the Top Rock Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums rankings. It's now spent 426 weeks on each of those tallies—more than eight years.
The same set has racked up a staggering 738 weeks on the Billboard 200. That places the compilation among the longest-charting titles in U.S. history. Shockingly, it hasn't cracked the top 10 on that particular list, but its longevity speaks for itself.

Disney, NBCUniversal sue AI creator Midjourney in copyright dispute
June 11 (UPI) -- Disney and NBCUniversal have joined legal teams in a lawsuit against AI image maker Midjourney over multiple claims of copyright infringement. The lawsuit filed Tuesday in California's U.S. central district claimed that Midjourney, a generative artificial intelligence startup, utilized and distributed proprietary AI-generated characters from NBCU and Disney productions such as the Simpsons, Star Wars, Toy Story, Shrek and others. It marked the first AI-related infringement lawsuit taken on by a Hollywood giant. "This is an extremely significant development," IP lawyer Chad Hummel told Wired. Meanwhile, Universal and Disney have petitioned for a jury trial and argue it risks upending "the bedrock incentives of U.S. copyright law." The two plaintiffs claimed that Midjourney's own website displayed "hundreds, if not thousands, of images generated by its Image Service at the request of its subscribers" they believed infringed on their copyrighted works. "Midjourney's bootlegging business model and defiance of U.S copyright law are not only an attack on Disney, Universal, and the hard-working creative community that brings the magic of movies to life, but are also a broader threat to the American motion picture industry," the complaint continued. The joint suit further says that San Francisco-based Midjourney allegedly ignored prior legal requests to cease and desist and included dozens of examples in the complaint, calling Midjourney a "bottomless pit of plagiarism." In 2023, Midjourney reported more than $200 million in revenue and in 2024 took in an additional $100 million on top of it to beat the prior year. "Midjourney, which has attracted millions of subscribers and made $300 million last year alone, is focused on its own bottom line and ignored Plaintiffs' demands," according to court documents. The two movie studios seek an unspecified amount in monetary damages, and further requested injunctive relief in order to prevent Midjourney from any future copyright violations.

Kim Kardashian, John Leguizamo and more react to ICE immigration raids
Celebrities around the country are sharing their thoughts on the ICE immigration raids that began in Los Angeles last week. Kim Kardashian took to her Instagram Stories to issue a statement. 'When we're told that ICE exists to keep our country safe and remove violent criminals- great. But when we witness innocent, hardworking people being ripped from their families in inhumane ways, we have to speak up. We have to do what's right,' she wrote. 'Growing up in LA, I've seen how deeply immigrants are woven into the fabric of this city. They are our neighbors, friends, classmates, coworkers, and family. No matter where you fall politically, it's clear that our communities thrive because of the contributions of immigrants. We can't turn a blind eye when fear and injustice keep people from living their lives freely and HAS to be a BETTER way.' The Skims co-founder then posted a clip of Doechii's acceptance speech from the BET Awards from the night before where she blasted the Trump administration over the raids and mobilization of the National Guard. Meanwhile, actor and comedian John Leguizamo used his platform to share a video message to his followers. 'Your protests are beautiful. Protesting is as American as apple pie. But Trump wants to create a situation. He wants to be able to call on the Insurrection Act. He wants to create martial law so he can take over every government in every city and every state, so don't give him that,' the actor pleaded to his followers. 'Don't give him what he wants. I mean, he's trampling on all our democratic values of due process, of listening to courts and the judiciary. Just stay calm, stay peaceful. Don't let don't give him what he wants.' He's not the only person speaking out. Standup comedian Gabriel Iglesias, who is a Los Angeles native, shared a post by comedian Alfred Robles to his Instagram Stories, where he was asking if his followers knew of any street vendors in the East L.A., Montebello, Whittier, and La Habra areas who were still working under these circumstances. 'I would like to donate to them so they could go home and be safe with their family,' Robles wrote after encouraging his followers to direct message him the information of those who fit this category. Actress Eva Longoria also posted a video message on Instagram. She called the mass deportations 'inhumane' and 'hard to watch.' She noted that the discord around the situation was 'un-American.' 'We all can agree, nobody wants criminals in our country, nobody wants rapists, nobody wants drug dealers, nobody wants bad actors in our country- that's not what's happening,' the film producer explained. 'These roundups are happening in birthday parties, in elementary school graduations, Home Depot. Those are not criminals. I hope that everyone has more compassion for this issue and realizes we have industries dependent on immigrant labor.' She went on to explain that 'these are people who feed us and take care of us and take care of our families and our children and our communities and we can't deny them as humans. We just can't.' 'For those of you who keep yelling, 'Well, you should've come here legally. Get in the back of the line,' there is no line. This mythical line that people are talking about. There's people have been waiting for citizenship for 25 years that have been 'in line.' I just ask for you guys to educate yourself, if you're out there yelling 'Good, they deserve this,' no, they don't. They're hardworking people from my community, and I think we need to have more compassion for them. They want to just come here and work and provide for their families.' In the post's caption, she listed support organizations like the Immigrant Defenders Law Center, SEIU California, National Day Laborers Organizing Network, Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, aka CHIRLA, and the day laborer program IDEPSCA.
