Bruce Springsteen Jumps Back To No. 1 Following His Public Rebuke Of Trump
Bruce Springsteen fans only have to wait about a month before the rocker delivers a massive batch of new music. The superstar is planning to drop Tracks II: The Lost Albums in late June, and the box set will feature seven complete projects that he wrote and recorded but never released. Excitement is already building in the United Kingdom, where many fans are revisiting Springsteen's earlier work in advance of that huge project arriving. That enthusiasm has pushed one of his most popular collections back to the summit on one major list, while another brand new title earns the rock legend another top 10 bestseller — just ahead of what's sure to be another sizable debut. Springsteen returns to No. 1 on the Official Americana Albums chart this week, stepping up from the runner-up rung with Best Of, his simply-titled compilation of hits. In doing so, he replaces Cowboy Carter by Beyoncé, which recently secured another stay at the top. Best Of has now spent 57 weeks on the Official Americana Albums chart, and it hasn't disappeared from the tally since it debuted in May 2024. Throughout that stretch of time, the release has never fallen outside the top 10. It has now earned seven stays at No. 1. Springsteen's music may be surging not only due to the buzz around Tracks II, but also thanks to the launch of his newly-retitled Land of Hope and Dreams Tour. The run of shows kicked off in Manchester in mid-May, continuing an adventure that originally began in 2023. At the first new concert, Springsteen spoke out against U.S. President Donald Trump, sparking controversy and returning both his name and music to headlines across the globe. The resurgence of Best Of to No. 1 appears to be a sign of support from his loyal U.K. fan base. As Best Of climbs to the top once again and returns to the Official Albums Streaming chart at No. 89, a newly-released surprise EP gives Springsteen another top 10 win. Land of Hope and Dreams opens at No. 8 on the Official Album Downloads chart this week. The rock icon produced the set using recordings from his now-infamous show where he criticized Trump, seemingly cementing his remarks in the public record. The fact that, after only a few days, the title stands out as one of the top 10 bestselling collections in the U.K. speaks volumes about the strong support Springsteen enjoys to this day.

One Of Bruce Springsteen's Biggest Hits Is Back
Bruce Springsteen returns to No. 1 on the Official Americana Albums chart with Best Of, while ... More 'Dancing in the Dark' reappears on the Official Physical Singles chart. EAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY - AUGUST 30: Bruce Springsteen performs at MetLife Stadium on August 30, 2023 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by) Bruce Springsteen has stood out as one of the most successful American rockers of all time for decades now, but his commercial popularity isn't limited to just the U.S. The legend has long been adored in the United Kingdom, where he's scored many bestselling albums and chart smashes throughout the decades. This week, it's clear that U.K. fans are still eager to consume his music — both old and 'new' — as they propel him back to the top of one list and help one of his biggest smashes reappear on another. Springsteen is back at No. 1 on the Official Americana Albums chart. The veteran rocker lifts from No. 3 to the summit with his Best Of compilation, which has been a strong seller in the U.K. since it dropped nearly a year ago. This latest rise helps him reclaim the throne for a sixth time. As Springsteen soars, last week's leader, Drive to Golden Hammer by Divorce, experiences a sharp fall. That title tumbles from No. 1 all the way out of the top 10, landing at No. 11. Best Of has proven to be a remarkably consistent performer on the Official Americana Albums chart. The compilation has now lived on the ranking for 48 consecutive weeks, and it has only slipped out of the top five once. This marks the sixth frame the retrospective has spent at No. 1 on this U.K.-based roster. It last ruled in January, and it has held strong inside the top four in every tracking period since then. As Best Of returns to No. 1, Springsteen sees one of his most beloved hits enjoy a second wind – well, more than second – in the U.K. 'Dancing in the Dark' makes something of a comeback on the Official Physical Singles chart, doubling its presence across the U.K. rankings this week. The single appears at No. 71 on the list this time around. The tally tracks the bestselling songs in physical formats like CD, vinyl, and cassette. This week is only the third time that 'Dancing in the Dark' has appeared on the physical-only chart throughout its lifetime. At the same time that it returns to this one roster, the tune is slipping elsewhere. It falls 12 spaces to No. 98 on the Official Streaming chart, barely hanging on as one of the 100 most-played cuts in the country.
