Bruce Springsteen’s New Single Took Its Time Becoming A Top 10

Bruce Springsteen is quickly working toward the release of one of the biggest projects of his career. On June 27, he will drop Tracks II: The Lost Albums, a collection of seven full-lengths that the rocker never shared, but recorded years ago during different phases of his career. Since announcing the ambitious effort, Springsteen has delivered a number of tunes from the upcoming albums, and his latest single has become a quick bestseller in the United States.

Bruce Springsteen’s “Repo Man”

“Repo Man” is the latest Springsteen cut to arrive from Tracks II. The song currently appears at No. 10 on the iTunes Top Songs chart, meaning it is the tenth bestselling track in the U.S., at least on that one platform.

While not brand new, the cut rockets into the highest tier today (May 16), joining several other exciting recent releases from names like Volbeat, Barbra Streisand, Paul McCartney, and even Kesha within the uppermost region.

“Repo Man” Debuted Days Ago

Springsteen actually released “Repo Man” on May 14. It has taken a few days for the track to become a strong seller in the U.S. Interestingly, it performs its best on Friday, which is the beginning of the tracking week and usually considered the busiest time for new releases. This is when Springsteen faces the most competition, and yet it seems his latest tune has finally taken off only now.

Four Cuts From Four Albums—And Counting

“Repo Man” is the fourth single from Tracks II released by Springsteen this spring. He has dropped one track from each from four different albums that will be part of the seven-full-length collection. He started with “Rain in the River,” which will be featured on Perfect World. He followed that up with “Blind Spot,” the first cut on The Streets of Philadelphia Sessions. Most recently on May 1, “Faithless,” the title track from the album of the same name, arrived.
