    Springsteen A Lock For Another No. 1 Album

    October 07, 2007, 4:30 PM ET

    Geoff Mayfield, L.A.
    Bruce Springsteen is a lock to add another No. 1 album to his resume, according to Nielsen SoundScan's Friday Building Chart, released Oct. 5. Unweighted sales through close of business Thursday saw "Magic" leading the next best selling album by almost a 2-to-1 margin.

    Rascal Flatts' "Still Feels Good" was runner-up on the Friday mid-term report, while matchbox twenty's "Exile on Mainstream" was the second-best seller among albums released Oct. 2. New albums by Soulja Boy, J. Holiday, Trey Songz, Faith Hill and Brooks & Dunn each have a shot at top 10 chart starts, according to the Friday chart.

    Springsteen's "Magic" had piled up 165,000 copies on the Oct. 5 chart, up from 89,000 on the Wednesday Building Chart. Springsteen's total on the Friday report beats the 155,000 that Reba McEntire had posted two weeks earlier on the Friday Building Chart on her way a final chart-leading total of 301,000.

    This would mark Springsteen's third No. 1 on The Billboard 200 among his last four studio albums. "The Rising" and "Devils & Dust" each bowed at No. 1 in 2003 and 2005, respectively, while last year's "We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions" peaked at No. 3.


    Nielsen SounddScan's Building Charts post sales through Tuesday and through Thursday from Trans World Entertainment, Best Buy, iTunes, Circuit City and Borders, and from mass merchants Target, Anderson Merchandisers and Handleman Co., the last two being the wholesalers that place music in Wal-Mart stores. Billboard estimates the Building panel accounts of 79% of U.S. music sales.

    Man, that is SWEET!!! Wish Bruce would come to Montana... I can dream right ;).

    Bath, I must say. The work you do in this thread is amazing!!!

    I've just recently got into Bruce(because of a girl :) ). Was able to get her(and myself) a show he did in 1974. The Cleveland Radio show.
    Well, the show is like 4 hours long(3 SETS!!!), and INCREDIBLE. And she is from Cleveland so she loves it.

    Thanks again and keep it up. I'm sure if Bruce does do a show out here, i know about it here first.

    The Boss is Back?

    BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - MAGIC


    For those of you out there who used to love Bruce Springsteen and perhaps thought that we'd never again hear a new Springsteen album that makes us say "Hell yeah!" again, I'm pleased as shit to report that I think we finally have it.

    Upon hearing the single, Radio Nowhere, I was initially amused at how much the opening guitar riff sounded like Jason Isbell's DBT song "Never Gonna Change". Not in a bad way, Lord knows I spent enough of my youth emulating Bruce so a little unintentional payback was kinda a sweet irony. (One could make a fun game of going through Adam's House Cat's Town Burned Down album and counting the moments where I rip off the Boss, but I digress). Still, I liked it better than any single he's released in a long time and I hoped that it was in indicator of how the new album might sound.

    Upon first hearing the new album (which like any self-respecting modern day fanatic, I ripped off and illegally burned, no worry though, as I have purchased the vinyl now and by the way KUDOS for
    releasing it on beloved 33 1/3 a week before the CD comes out. Too fucking cool. I hope our label will do that with our next album, but again, i digress). Where was I? Oh yeah, upon first hearing it I was thrilled to like it so much. Hell, I proclaimed, best damned Bruce album since 1987's Tunnel of Love.


    Oh, i've been a little tough on my childhood hero in the past decade or so. I skated through the bad 90's making the best of whatever happened. Tom Joad really did have some great songs, i just couldn't really listen to it all that much. The show I saw on that tour was incredible, but certainly not a ROCKSHOW. The Rising was supposed to be the "return to form" but I fucking hated it (except for the song Empty Sky, which I really loved). The rest of it, i'd honestly just as soon hear his so-called mid life crisis albums (Human Touch anyone?).

    Really wanted to like Devils and Dust, but just didn't. I did like the Pete Seeger thing, especially the live shows from it and held out hope that maybe this new revitalization would bleed into his next album of new original material.


    Boy did it.

    Upon about ten more listens (don't think I ever made it through The Rising that many times) I've changed my mind.

    Magic is flat out my favorite Bruce Springsteen album since 1982's masterpiece Nebraska.

    For years, I've held out some small hope that he'd make another Rock record like Darkness on the Edge of Town. Instead, he's given us a killer pop record like The River. (Which for the record is my all time fave, although the 78-82 period is pretty much perfect to me). At his prime, Bruce was the master at blurring the lines between the personal and the political and wrapping a message up in a pop song format. This time he's delivered the goods (and boy, do we need it now!)

    He's obviously pissed, but who ain't. Only a moron can look around and not see that shit is fucked up. Only a master can take that anger and create great art from it. It may not change the world, but we all need a soundtrack as we deal with the daily bullshit. When I was a teenager, it was Springsteen's music that literally kept me going when I felt alienated from the world and alone out there. Now as I'm a forty plus year old man with a wife and kid of my own, I'm awfully proud and pleased to have a great new Bruce Springsteen album to crank up in the car as I pull out of here to win.

    Meadowlands Magic

    Meadowland Magic: Bruce Springsteen still in top form


    Wednesday, October 10th 2007, 4:00 AM


    Bruce Springteen performs at the Meadowlands in front of a full-house of fans.


    Read the Daily News' complete coverage of Bruce Springsteen's new album and tour


    On what was quite likely the last summery day of 2007, Bruce Springsteen came home to the Meadowlands to sing about girls in their summer clothes passing him by.

    Do not feel sorry for Bruce, however. A packed house of 20,000 hometown fans at the Continental Arena made it clear that they will follow him anywhere always, especially if he brings along the E Street Band.

    He's now one week into an E Street reunion tour supporting his new CD, "Magic," which he says was conceived as a rock 'n' roll record that would be fun to play on stage.

    It does seem to be that, from the show-opening "Radio Nowhere" to the lilting, wistful "Girls in Their Summer Clothes," whose chorus is already a sing-along.

    The new songs take about a third of the show, leaving room for more than a dozen tunes from his archives, and he pleased the people mightily last night by pulling out familiar anthems like "Darlington County" and a full-throttle "Badlands" alongside a hard-core-fan fave like "Thundercrack."

    As usual, he discovered a semisleeper, this time a driving rendition of the "Nebraska" song "Reason to Believe."

    What's still in progress is the hardest part of a tour like this, which is giving it a center and the musical flow Springsteen is always chasing. He wants his shows to say something, to combine the old and new in a way that conveys the eternal hope of youth, the acquired caution and wisdom of experience, the peril of the political times, the durability of faith, the communion of music and, oh, yeah, the pure fun of rock 'n' roll.

    All those themes run through "Magic." They also run through songs from "She's the One" to "Devil's Arcade," and this could be a tour where Springsteen is rearranging the puzzle pieces until the end - because there's no single winning combination.

    He introduces the new "Living in the Future" with a warning about attacks on the Bill of Rights and other disturbing developments "that aren't just un-American, they're anti-American." He follows it by reaching back three decades for "Promised Land," a counternote of hope.

    He also fills the show with a lot of guitar-powered instrumental sections and finishes with the toe-tapping "American Land." If the girls in their summer clothes passed him by on their way home, it's a safe bet that at the very least, they winked

    I don't know how someone could praise Magic and then dislike The Rising. That is just stupid.

    I agree. It seems that hard core Bruce fans seem to not like the Rising. I got into him with that album and think it is one of the best albums I have by any artist. I like it better than Magic, and I really like Magic a lot.
