Hi Gary,
Bruce Springsteen debuted at No. 8 On the plate 200 This week's chart with Only the strong survive, scoring his 22nd Top 10 album. He has made the Top 10 in each of the past six decades, from the 1970s to the 1920s. How rare is this feat, and are there any other notable chart achievements we can celebrate this week?
Thank you
