Registers the best performances (7)
I believe the answer is:
records
I believe this is a double definition.
'registers' is the first definition.
(register can mean to record)
'best performances' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'the' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for records that I've seen before include "LPs, e.g." , "Discs" , "Archives" , "Files" , "Annotations of events" .)
