Barney's Favorites, Volume 2

***Barney's Favorites, Volume 2*** (***Barney's Just Imagine*** in the UK and South Africa) was the second album in the Barney's Favorites series as well as being Barney's second album released. Like Volume 1, it contains songs from the TV series, but it also has songs from *Barney Live! In New York City* and *Imagination Island*. It was released on August 23, 1994 through EMI Records.

In the same year as the album was released, the album commercially entered at number sixty-six on the *Billboard* 200 thus becoming Barney's second album to hit that chart. Vol. 2 would later peak at #11 on Billboard's Top Kid's Albums on February 3, 1996.

On March 13, 1998, the album went platinum, the same day *Barney's Favorites, Volume 1* went triple platinum.

Following the release of *Barney's Favorites, Vol. 2* a Spanish equivalent, titled *Las Canciones de Barney 2*, was released in 1997, and a German equivalent titled *Barney's Insel der Fantasien* in 1999, however not all the songs are the same from the English counterpart.
