Referred to as "The Boss", Bruce Springsteen is one of the best-selling music artists in history with over 150 million records sold as of December 2021. Billboard ranked him as the 24th Greatest Artist of all time. According to Recording Industry Association of America, he has sold 65.5 million albums in the United States, making him the 7th best-selling male soloist of all time. Born in the U.S.A. remains the best-selling album of his career, selling more than 30 million copies around the world.
Springsteen has released records steadily since 1973, and is widely known for his brand of heartland rock infused with pop hooks, poetic lyrics, and American culture sentiments centered on his native New Jersey. The E Street Band has been Springsteen's primary backing band since 1972 and has appeared on a majority of his studio albums and live releases. Springsteen also released one studio and live album with the Sessions Band.
Springsteen's recordings have tended to alternate between commercially accessible rock albums and somber folk-oriented works. His most commercially successful period occurred between 1975's Born to Run and 1987's Tunnel of Love. 1984's Born in the U.S.A. launched Springsteen into superstardom and the album went on to become one of the biggest selling albums of all time. It produced seven top-10 hit singles, tied for the most ever with Michael Jackson's Thriller and Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814. Springsteen has steadily maintained a loyal audience since his 80s success and experienced a renewed commercial strength since 2002's The Rising, the first in a string of consecutive successful albums following a 1999 reunion with the E Street Band with whom he parted ways in 1989. 2014's High Hopes was Springsteen's eleventh No. 1 album placing him at third all-time for most No. 1 albums ever trailing only Jay-Z (13) and the Beatles (19). He achieved his eleventh No. 1 album in the UK with his next release, 2019's Western Stars, which saw him join Elvis Presley, David Bowie and Robbie Williams on eleven UK No. 1s, trailing only Madonna (12) and the Beatles (15). In October 2019, Springsteen released a theatrical film for Western Stars which marked his directorial debut. The film was accompanied by the Western Stars – Songs from the Film soundtrack. In 2020, Springsteen released his twentieth studio album Letter to You which was his first since 2014's High Hopes to feature the E Street Band. The album became Springsteen's twenty-first top ten album in the United States (the album made its debut at number two) making Springsteen the first artist ever with top five-charting albums in each of the last six decades. Springsteen's twenty-first and latest album, Only the Strong Survive, was released in 2022. In June 2025, Springsteen released the box set Tracks II: The Lost Albums, which features seven full length unreleased albums that were recorded from 1983 to 2018.
Overall, Springsteen has released 21 studio albums, 76 singles, 9 extended plays, 121 live albums, 10 box sets, 10 compilation albums, 2 soundtracks, 68 music videos and 32 home videos/video albums. In 2014, Springsteen opened the Bruce Springsteen Archives and announced that he will release various shows from his past that have been digitally restored and remastered and, unlike the bootleg releases, officially endorsed by Springsteen himself.
