New Juke Box Hits

New Juke Box Hits is the fifth studio album by rock and roll pioneer Chuck Berry, released in March 1961 by Chess Records.

The album was recorded and released while Berry was in the midst of legal difficulties, which led to his imprisonment in 1962.

The adverse publicity from these legal problems affected sales of his records, and the previous single failed to reach the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

[1] Berry did not release another album of songs for over three years.

William Ruhlmann in a retrospective review for AllMusic, feels that the distractions of his legal problems inhibited Berry, so the songs on this album compare unfavourably with his earlier albums.
