Bruce Springsteen Returns To No. 1 — And Scores Several Top 10s
Bruce Springsteen's 2025 has been filled with exciting moments — from continuing his global tour to drumming up headlines with rebukes made toward President Trump – and new music. This frame, The Boss returns to No. 1 on a chart in the United Kingdom, and he manages to hold two spots inside the top 10 on that list at the same time.
Best Of Reclaims the Americana Throne
Springsteen's Best Of jumps from No. 5 to No. 1 on the Official Americana chart this week. The collection has now spent nine frames at the summit and 67 consecutive stays on the list — all of them inside the top 10 on the country's list of the top-selling titles in that genre.
A Chart-Topper More Than a Year Into Its Run
Best Of first appeared on the Americana ranking in May 2024, but didn't climb to No. 1 until late October. At that point, it became Springsteen's fourth leader on the list. Since then, he's earned a fifth champion, and Best Of returns to running the show more than a year into its life on the list.
Joe Bonamassa Falls from No. 1
Last week, the Americana chart was led by Joe Bonamassa, as his new set Breakthrough opened at No. 1. That debut marked both his first placement and his first leader on the tally. In its second week, Breakthrough drops to No. 8, making room for Springsteen to recapture the uppermost space.
Tracks II Returns to the Americana Top 10
Springsteen also surges back into the highest tier on the Official Americana chart with Tracks II – The Lost Albums, which returns to the top 10. The box set debuted at No. 1 last month and held there for two weeks before beginning to descend. The legendary rocker owns a pair of spots in the highest region on the genre-specific tally this week.
Tracks II Appears on Several Rankings
Outside of its appearance on the Americana ranking, Tracks II – The Lost Albums continues to perform well on other U.K. tallies after a month on sale. The box set, which features seven full-lengths, slips from No. 28 to No. 47 on the Official Albums Sales chart and from No. 25 to No. 44 on the Official Physical Albums roster, but it's worth noting that it holds on inside the top 50 on both.
