Artist Spotlight: Bruce Springsteen

From Born to Run to Born in the U.S.A.: where to start with The Boss.

November 14, 2026 · 1 min read

Bruce Springsteen, the New Jersey songwriter known to fans as “The Boss,” built his name on big, story-driven rock songs about ordinary lives, usually played with his long-time backing group, the E Street Band.

His 1975 album Born to Run made him a star. In 1984, Born in the U.S.A. became one of the best-selling albums of the decade and produced seven top 10 singles, including “Dancing in the Dark.”

Today his songs still pull in new listeners, and “Dancing in the Dark” is on this week’s Coast Music Stream charts.
