Bruce Springsteen’s expansive archival release, Tracks II: The Lost Albums, debuted on a variety of Billboard’s charts this week, entering the Top 10 on both Top Album Sales and Americana/Folk Albums at No. 7 on each list. Springsteen’s history on the charts dates back 50 years, after his first two studio LPs, Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. and The Wild, The Innocent and the E Street Shuffle, both made their first appearances on the Billboard 200 chart in July 1975. Tracks II also debuted at No. 68 on the Billboard 200 chart, marking the music icon’s 44th career entry on the tally. Physical formats of the collection were issued in 9-LP and 7-CD box sets, along with a 20-track companion album, Lost and Found: Selections From the Lost Albums, which also made its debut at No. 22 on the Americana/Folk Albums chart.
