New Juke Box Hits by Chuck Berry
New Juke Box Hits is an album by Chuck Berry, released in 1961. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 1 countdown appearance in total. The biggest is “Route 66”, on 1 list with a best position of #623.
New Juke Box Hits, Chuck Berry's fifth studio album, came out on Chess in March 1961. Unlike his first four LPs, which leaned on songs already out as singles, only two of these, "Little Star" and its flip side "I'm Talking About You", had been on a 45 before. Among the tracks is "Route 66", the track that later surfaced on a countdown.
Berry made and released the album while facing legal problems that led to his imprisonment in 1962. The bad publicity cut into his record sales, his previous single had missed the Billboard Hot 100, and he would not release another album of songs for more than three years.
