Bruce Springsteen’s Massive New Album Opens At No. 1

Whenever Bruce Springsteen releases new music, it always makes news, as the rocker’s massive and dedicated fan base rushes to listen to anything he has to share.

Tracks II: The Lost Albums was announced early in 2025, and fans have been eagerly awaiting the chance to get their hands on not one, not two, not three, but seven complete full-length albums from the superstar, all packaged together in one special offering. Despite its hefty price tag and intimidating tracklist, Tracks II still becomes a chart-topper in the United Kingdom this week.

Tracks II Debuts at No. 1 on the Official Americana Chart

Tracks II launches at No. 1 on the Official Americana chart, which lists the top-selling full-lengths and short projects in that style throughout the U.K.

The box set earns Springsteen his seventh career placement on that genre-specific tally and his fifth leader. He previously dominated with Western Stars, Letter to You, Only the Strong Survive, and, most recently, Best Of, which dropped a little more than a year ago. He missed the top spot by just one space with The Legendary 1979 No Nukes Concerts.

Just last month, Springsteen released an unexpected EP, Land of Hope and Dreams, which was recorded at the opening night of the latest U.K. leg of his current worldwide concert trek of the same name. That surprise project peaked at No. 12, and thus far, it’s his only effort to miss the top 10.

Bruce Springsteen Replaces Beyoncé at No. 1

Springsteen replaces Beyoncé atop the Official Americana chart as her Cowboy Carter slips from No. 1 to No. 3, while Zach Bryan’s self-titled effort steps up one space. Beyoncé had recently claimed the top spot as U.K. fans celebrated the Grammy-winning project following her tour of the same name visiting the nation.

Springsteen currently claims a pair of top 10s as his Best Of compilation declines from No. 2 to No. 4.

Tracks II Hits Six U.K. Album Charts

Tracks II arrives on six different album rankings in the U.K. this week and opens inside the top five on all of them. While Springsteen misses out on a new champion on almost all of those lists, he does manage to conquer the Official Americana tally, so he does claim one new ruler.
