Getty ImagesBruce Springsteen isn’t just a legend in the music world — he’s still one of the most commercially successful musicians working today. The rocker continues to tour constantly and release new music regularly, including one of his most ambitious projects, which arrives on the charts this week.
Springsteen recently delivered Tracks II: The Lost Albums, a box set featuring seven full-lengths he had recorded throughout the years but never shared with the public. 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 launches in second place on four different album rankings in the U.K. this week. 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.
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. He has accumulated the fewest on the Official Vinyl Albums tally, at least among those rosters, where his new set launches at No. 2.
Tracks II does manage to conquer one tally in the U.K., as it opens at No. 1 on the Official Americana chart. Springsteen has now scored five leaders on that list, out of half a dozen top 10s and seven total appearances on the genre-specific ranking. Tracks II opens in its lowest position on the Official Album Downloads chart, where it enters at No. 4.
Notably, the full-length didn’t perform well enough on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music to reach the ranking of the most-streamed albums in the country.
