[edit] Never a #1

Are you telling me that Bruce Springsteen's Dancing in the Dark and Born in the U.S.A. never topped the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart? I find that hard to believe. I'm shocked that Bruce Springsteen never had a #1 single.

It's true - see AMG: [1] Rhobite 21:57, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Singles that weren't singles

The Singles section is full of album tracks that got enough airplay to make the Mainstream Rock or Adult Contemporary charts, but were not actually released as singles. Seems to me, they should be removed. Wasted Time R 14:46, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trapped

Iv got just about every springsteen album and iv never heard of a song called trapped befour suposedly from the born in the usa album, evan got to number 1 in the U.S. Maintstream rock chart

Fixed now. Was on the We Are the World benefit album. Wasted Time R 11:21, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Seeger Sessions UK sales

With this edit User:81.35.74.76 claimed that We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions had 500,000 sales in the UK. This is highly unlikely, given the sales of his earlier albums there, and indeed a search of the BPI certifications database at http://www.bpi.co.uk/ shows a lot of entries for Springsteen but none for The Seeger Sessions. I'm removing it. Wasted Time R 11:08, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Extra Single to be added.

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town - UK single released 14th December 1985 Reached number 9 on the UK chart.

As no-one has commented on this nor updated the page, I have updated the 1985 singles to reflect a UK chart hit, I do not know if this charted in the US at the same time. 121translation (talk) 10:36, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

It was a double-sided hit with "My Hometown", as was "I'm on Fire"/"Born in the U.S.A.". The way the table shows it now, it looks like each of these were separate releases in the UK. I'm not sure how best to portray this, though. Wasted Time R (talk) 11:17, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Uk Album Awards (BPI)

The official Bruce Springsteen's album awards, in UK, (BPI certfications), need a strong update. "All" his albums are under-certified. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.172.79.179 (talk) 21:54, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The 21 forget CD's

I don't know how to edit the main page... so, i write here...

The discography miss a major release... a collector item from 19 Cd's released in 1996 and called "The Lost Masters"... They are real since i have them... along, was released two CD called "the essential collection" ( the only two CD missing in my collection )... a reference to these 19+2 cd's can be find at http://www.newc.com/theboots/lostmasters/default.html

Maybe someone can be friendly enough for add these to the discography... my english is bad since it is not my main language...

EDIT : Found a other reference at http://www.brucebase.org.uk/sboot9.htm... "lost master" 20 and 21 was fake diffused on the market... a full discography can be find at http://www.brucebase.org.uk/bootin.htm... seem that i miss a lot of CD in my collection !!!

Those are bootlegs. We only list official, legal releases. Wasted Time R (talk) 01:28, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank for the reply Thoumsin (talk) 10:35, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RIAA Certifications

Under the RIAA section of the article, there were sales figures listed in place of an RIAA certification. I've replaced the sales amounts, which also had no source, with up-to-date and accurate certifications as listed in the RIAA gold and platinum database on RIAA.com. The RIAA certifications are for how many units of an album are shipped, they don't necessarily represent the amount of copies a particular album sells. Actual sales for an album can sometimes be higher or lower than a certification given it by the RIAA.Odin's Beard (talk) 13:46, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

That's okay for albums earlier in his career, but you also wiped out the explicit sales figures for his more recent albums. Why? Wasted Time R (talk) 00:24, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Explicit in what way? There wasn't a source to back them up at all. Anybody can just toss in a number and call it a sales figure, which I'm sure probably has happened on in a lot of discography articles. Sales figures should also be listed seperately from certifications. I don't see a point in including sales for some albums rather than all of them.Odin's Beard (talk) 14:01, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
