Bruce Springsteen Has Never Had a #1 Hit
Did you know that Bruce Springsteen, arguably one of the most decorated American rock stars of any generation, has never had a #1 hit?
20 Grammys, 1 Oscar, 2 Golden Globes, a special Tony Award. Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Presidential Medal of Fucking Freedom.
But never that elusive chartopper, the undisputed hit, the gold medal. Even with 135 million records sold, you’re still not part of the elite club that includes Carly Rae Jepsen, LMFAO (twice), and Nickelback.
You might consider your lyrics to be sacred, but if My-Ding-a-Ling (yep, it’s about jerking off) can make it to #1 it’s probably time to look inward.
Maybe consider scoring a movie soundtrack? Star Wars theme song held the top spot for 2 weeks.
If you had accepted that invitation to our wedding, you would have seen @annevsnyder rapping to her favorite #1 of all time.
Keep at Boss, you’ll get to the top of the mountain someday.
QUIZ: Bruce Springsteen’s highest ranking song peaked at #2. Can you name it? (for a hint, peep today’s subject line)
