  Who Charted? Bruce Springsteen Shows Adele Who's, Um, Boss

  March 14, 2012 – First! Only four artists have sent 10 or more albums to the top of the Billboard 200 chart. The Beatles had 19 No. 1 albums, Jay-Z has had 12, and now Bruce Springsteen is tied for third place with Elvis at 10 apiece. First-week sales of 196,000 for his Wrecking Ball were enough, just barely, to keep Adele's 21 from matching Prince & the Revolution's Purple Rain soundtrack with 24 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1.

  Bruce Springsteen, 'Wrecking Ball' (Columbia)

  March 6, 2012 – Bruce Springsteen has come unstuck in time. At 32, he released Nebraska, a stark acoustic opus weighed down by the weariness of a man twice his age. At 58, he railed loudly against the moribund state of rock radio, pleading for a thousand guitars and pounding drums, name-checked Against Me!, and convincingly exhibited a feistiness seen too rarely in artists half his age. …

  Bosswave Playlist: Bruce Springsteen's 13 Most Alt-Leaning Songs

  February 22, 2012 – Bruce Springsteen has said that his new album Wrecking Ball, out March 6, is "as direct a record as I've ever made." But with touches of hip-hop and electronic music, the economic-meltdown-minded album is shaping up to be one of the Boss' edgier, more experimental releases. Even though Springsteen is an iconic meat-and-potatoes rock'n'roller, his back catalog is studded with songs that skew more alt than trad in attitude. …
