According to Forbes 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.
Tracks II Returns to the Americana Top 10 and appears on Several Rankings
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.
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.
While he may be one of music’s greatest superstars, even Springsteen couldn’t reach No. 1 on most of the albums charts in the United Kingdom, as he’s bested by one of the coolest figures in pop music today.
Tracks II was placed on four different album rankings in the U.K. Springsteen pushes his new collection to No. 2 on the Official Albums, Official Albums Sales, Official Physical Albums, and Official Vinyl Albums charts as it arrives.
In each instance, he’s beaten by Virgin, the latest project by Lorde. The singer-songwriter scores her first champion on each and every one of those tallies with her newest full-length.
Bruce Springsteen’s Chart History Expands
Springsteen might not add to his list of rulers on those four aforementioned charts, but he has already conquered all of them in the past. Tracks II does manage to earn the singer-songwriter another top 10, of which he claims many spread across those lists.
So far, Springsteen has earned 24 placements between Nos. 1 and 10 on the Official Albums chart — the most among all of the rankings where Tracks II arrives.
