Bruce Springsteen has tied with John Mayer for the most No. 1 entries on Billboard's Top Rock & Alternative Albums chart. Springsteen's latest album, "Only the Strong Survive," debuted at the top of both the Top Rock & Alternative Albums and Top Rock Albums charts, marking his eighth time leading these rankings. This success is buoyed by 40,000 equivalent album units earned in the first week, with a significant portion stemming from album sales. Springsteen first topped the charts in 2007 with "Magic," and his impact on Billboard's charts stretches back to 1975.

In addition to his latest achievement, Springsteen has also attained significant success on the Billboard 200, securing his 22nd top 10 album. This feat is a testament to his enduring popularity, with new top 10 entries in every decade since the 1970s. Alongside the album's success, two tracks from "Only the Strong Survive" have made an impact on the Rock Digital Song Sales chart. Springsteen expressed joy in revisiting classic soul songs, noting the project's role in reigniting his love for these timeless tracks and refreshing his own vocal style.
