The original album includes six songs that reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, including the year's No. 1 song, "Sugar, Sugar" by The Archies. The remaining four tracks each reached the Hot 100's Top 5. A 1993 re-issue replaced three tracks, bringing the number of chart toppers down from six to five.
