Creedence Clearwater Revival Scores Several New Platinum Hits

Creedence Clearwater Revival earns new RIAA certifications, including platinum upgrades for 'Green ... More River' and 'Born on the Bayou' and first-time gold wins for three classics. UNSPECIFIED - CIRCA 1970: Photo of Creedence Clearwater Revival Photo by MichaelCreedence Clearwater Revival is one of perhaps dozens of legacy musical acts that remain on the Billboard charts week after week after week. The group hasn't released new music in decades, but the albums and singles the musicians left behind remain popular enough to continually rack up streams and sales throughout the United States. All that consumption doesn't only help the rock outfit remain on important tallies in America, but also allows it to continually collect new platinum and gold singles and albums. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has bestowed several new awards on Creedence Clearwater Revival's catalog, with multiple smashes earning certifications – some for the first time. Two of Creedence Clearwater Revival's beloved tracks, 'Green River' and 'Born on the Bayou,' move from gold to platinum status. Songs and albums in the U.S. are certified gold after reaching 500,000 equivalent units between streams and sales, and they move up to platinum when they've shifted one million. "Green River" first went gold in 1990, so it waited 35 years to double its sum. "Born on the Bayou" needed less than a decade to reach the same milestone. Three other Creedence Clearwater Revival tracks become gold-certified wins for the first time. "Travelin' Band," "Lodi," and "Midnight Special" all earn their initial certifications from the RIAA this week, as they've officially moved half a million units. These new honors mark the first certifications for Creedence Clearwater Revival since September 2023. That month, the group's Chronicle: 20 Greatest Hits advanced from diamond — awarded at 10 million units — to 12-times platinum status. Some of the newly-certified tracks rank among Creedence Clearwater Revival's highest-charting releases on the Hot 100. Both "Green River," taken from the album of the same name, and "Travelin' Band," which appears on Cosmo's Factory, stalled in the runner-up spot on the ranking of the most consumed tracks in the U.S. Despite releasing generation-defining smashes, Creedence Clearwater Revival never reached No. 1 on the Hot 100, but at least seven of its tunes peaked at No. 2. "Lodi" rose as high as No. 52, while both "Midnight Special" and "Born on the Bayou" never made it to the Hot 100, but it looks like they have managed to stand the test of time.

Man arrested for running through Green River on meth with machete, police say

GREEN RIVER, Utah (ABC4) — A man was arrested on Friday for running through a Green River neighborhood with a machete, according to the Emery County Sheriff's Office. The man reportedly told police he was also under the influence of methamphetamine. Louis Sayna, 34, was arrested in Emery County for possession of a controlled substance (class A misdemeanor), use or possession of drug paraphernalia (class B misdemeanor), and prohibited dangerous weapon conduct (third-degree felony). On the evening of May 30, police responded to a residence in Green River where 'a male had ran to a house saying someone was chasing him,' a statement of probable cause reads. As an officer was en route to the scene, police received another call stating that a resident had a man knock on their door while carrying a large machete. Police arrived and found Sayna, who said that he had been riding the bus when some people 'were trying to force him to do things and were chasing him.' Sayna told police he ran from the bus stop and dropped the machete on the grass while approaching a home where kids were outside playing. The officer then found the machete in the grass and ran a records check on Sayna. Police learned that Sayna had a 'NCIC full extradition warrant' out of the state of Washington. The officer placed Sayna under arrest and found a glass pipe consistent with methamphetamine use in his sock. Police also found methamphetamine folded in a paper inside a small bag Sayna was wearing on his chest. Sayna told the officer he had used methamphetamine within the last hour before police arrived. Police said Sayna has an extensive criminal history. No further information is available at this time. Charges are allegations only. All arrested persons are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Iconic '60s Rock Legends Reveal Little-Known Secret About Beloved Band

One of the most notable bands to soundtrack the '60s was Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR). The California band rose to heavy prominence with their bluesy sound, and lyrics that often resonated with the events of the time. These qualities, along with lead singer John Fogerty's iconic vocals, lead the band to superstardom, with two chart-topping albums in "Green River," and "Cosmo's Factory." Many of their iconic songs became synonymous with the decade, such as "Fortunate Son," or "Proud Mary." One of the biggest events in the '60s music scene was the Woodstock music festival. Many artists had career-defining performances there. CCR is not one of the bands known for having a performance at the legendary venue, but as it turns out, they did in fact play Woodstock. In a recent TikTok post, the band revealed some new, little known facts about their forgotten performance at the festival. Many fans had no idea that the band had performed, taking to the comments to share their reactions. "CLASSIC!!!!!🤎🤎🤎🤎""God, one of my favorite songs by them, and I never had a clue they played Woodstock." "The full Woodstock tapes haven't ever been released. Someday, I hope they are.😔" Despite the fact that nobody paid much attention to their set, CCR is still one of the most celebrated bands of the '60s, and people will appreciate their music for years to come. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Iconic '60s Rock Legends Reveal Little-Known Secret About Beloved Band first appeared on Parade on May 28, 2025

Green River Distilling Co. Celebrates U.S. Army's 250th Anniversary with Commemorative Whiskey Release

OWENSBORO, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Green River Distilling Co., the 10th oldest licensed distillery in Kentucky (DSP-KY-10), will commemorate the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary with a limited release whiskey marking the milestone. The official anniversary bourbon will be available throughout the next year, beginning next month. Founded on June 14, 1775, the establishment of the U.S. Army predates the signing of the Declaration of Independence and marked a critical moment in the colonies' pursuit of freedom. Woven into the fabric of American history—including a longstanding connection to the armed forces—Green River's legacy spans generations of service, craftsmanship and national pride. The commemorative release will debut on June 14, 2025. Presented at an Army Strong 111.1 Proof (55.55% alc. by vol.) in a nod to Veteran's Day (November 11), this limited bottling will be available at a suggested retail price of $49.99. Green River's Army 250th Anniversary edition is a small batch selection of 4- to 7-year-old barrels featuring a distinct mashbill of 77 percent corn, 14 percent rye, 9 percent malted barley. It will be available at select military bases, Green River's homeplaces in Owensboro and Louisville, and select online and physical retail locations throughout the country. This full-bodied Kentucky bourbon displays caramel, black cherry, cocoa, and peppermint. The rich mouthfeel of toffee and toasted oak leads to a lightly spiced, bold finish that's wholly distinct to this official whiskey honoring the U.S. Army. 'This whiskey is a salute to 250 years of courage, commitment and sacrifice,' said Col. (ret.) Mark Erwin, CEO of Green River's parent company, Lofted Spirits. 'As both a veteran and a leader in American whiskey, it's an honor to raise a glass to the U.S. Army and the millions who have served to defend the freedom we cherish.' A portion of proceeds will directly enhance quality of life for soldiers and their families including wellbeing, sports, fitness, libraries, entertainment and recreation. Lofted Spirits annually contributes to a number of charitable causes that support and honor the Armed Forces including The Special Operations Warrior Foundation, the Special Operations Fund, USA Cares and the Bardstown-Nelson County Veterans Memorial. The release embodies the spirit of American independence – both fighting for freedom and establishing America's distinct way of doing things. Presented in Green River's iconic horseshoe bottle, but displaying the Army's colors and history, this limited-edition expression celebrates an enduring tribute to the deep bond between America's military and one of its most storied whiskeys.
