Bruce Springsteen Makes Billboard Chart History With New Album

Bruce Springsteen continues to collect accolades decades into his illustrious career thanks to the release of his new album, Letter To You.

Per Billboard, Letter To You will debut at number two on the Billboard 200 album chart. With this new chart appearance, this makes Springsteen "the first act with new top five-charting albums in each of the last six decades (1970s, ‘80s, ‘90s, ‘00s, ‘10s and the ‘20s)."

Springsteen's 20th studio album moved 96,000 units in its first week of release, with 92,000 of that figure coming from album sales and the rest coming from a combination of various song streams and downloads. This marks The Boss' biggest sales week since the release of 2014's High Hopes, which moved 99,000 units in its first week of release.
