Bruce Springsteen Massive New Album Easily Rises Into The Top 10
Bruce Springsteen's Tracks II: The Lost Albums debuts at No. 9 on the iTunes Top Albums chart, ... More featuring seven unreleased albums recorded throughout decades. ALBANY, NEW YORK - APRIL 15: Bruce Springsteen performs with The E Street Band at MVP Arena on April 15, 2024 in Albany, New York. (Photo by) On Friday (June 27), Bruce Springsteen released what may be his largest project ever. The rock superstar delivered Tracks II: The Lost Albums, a box set featuring seven complete albums that the singer-songwriter wrote and recorded throughout the decades but never shared with the public. Springsteen has been teasing the massive project for months with multiple song drops, many of which have become successes on iTunes. As the complete compilation arrives, it has already become a bestseller, and it may enjoy a lofty opening on the Billboard charts in a few days. Bruce Springsteen's New Top 10 Album Tracks II easily breaks into the top 10 on the iTunes Top Albums chart in the U.S., which lists the bestselling full-lengths and EPs on what is usually regarded as one of the most important sales platforms in the country. The box set currently appears at No. 9 as of the time of publishing, but it could continue to climb in the coming hours and days. Bruce Springsteen Follows Lorde Tracks II earns one of a trio of new arrivals inside the iTunes Top Albums chart's top 10. Virgin, the latest full-length by New Zealand superstar Lorde, beats Springsteen by two spaces as it settles at No. 7. Girl group Katseye launches its Beautiful Chaos EP at No. 10. Bruce Springsteen's Multiple New Bestselling Tunes Springsteen also fills half a dozen spots on the iTunes Top Songs ranking, although none of his tunes have become massive bestsellers this Friday. 'Blind Spot,' 'Sunday Love,' 'Faithless,' 'Sripo Man,' 'Rain in the River,' and 'Adelita' all appear between Nos. 150 and 184. The focus of Tracks II is not necessarily to produce a huge hit but rather for Springsteen to share the wealth of music he has created throughout the years with a fan base that is constantly ravenous for new material.

Huntrix Don't Miss: K-Pop Demon Hunters Tearing Up the Music Charts
People were expecting Netflix's K-Pop Demon Hunters to have some bops in the soundtrack, and it looks like the movie is definitely delivering on the music front as well. According to @chartsdata, the soundtrack for K-Pop Demon Hunters , the past weekend has earned the album the position of No. 1 on US iTunes, and what's more, the album also got 8.5 million streams on Spotify following the release day. 'KPop Demon Hunters' soundtrack earned its biggest streaming day of all-time on Spotify on June 22 with 8.5 million streams. Its up 500% vs release day. — chart data (@chartdata) June 23, 2025 As it turns out, it actually took a huge team to bring the Huntrix to life on the big screen. Besides the original songs being written by several writers including Danny Chung, IDO, EJAE, Vince, Jenna Andrews, and more; the movie also brought in new singers to record the original songs including EJAE (Rumi), Audrey Nuna (Mira), and Rei Ami (Zoey). We don't know how long the KPDH train is going to run yet, but the movie is currently No. 1 on Netflix, and a lot of people online have been gushing about how it celebrates everything that fans love about K-Pop from the band members having specific personalities to them going on game shows and having fan meets. No sequel has been announced for K-Pop Demon Hunters yet, but the ending does leave fans hopeful for a follow-up, especially with the billboard of Huntrix saying they have a new song/album called Comeback. Some are even hoping that the girls actually get to go on a world tour this time, and maybe they can find Hunters from every other nation—pretty much like what happened with Trolls World Tour . Catch K-Pop Demon Hunters now streaming on Netflix.

Resistance is futile to Barbra Streisand's latest schmaltzy offering
'When I sing, people shut up,' Barbra Streisand once said. Listening to her new schmaltzy collection of duets – The Secret of Life: Partners Volume Two – I did wonder if that could be because they'd dozed off. There's something so luxuriously plush about the 83-year-old megastar 's reassuringly (and remarkably) unwrinkled vocals that you find yourself sinking into these solid 11 pop/jazz standards (and one new track) as if they were pillows upon a massage table. Following the format of 2014's Partners, the predictably warm, oily orchestration relaxes your muscles, and the hypnotic click track beat dims the lights ahead of A-list guest turns, from Paul McCartney, James Taylor and Sting through Tim McGraw, Seal and Sam Smith. Evidence that the world was ready for Babs's aural pampering came two weeks ago: Letter to my 13 Year Old Self (her duet with 26-year-old Chinese-Icelandic singer-songwriter Laufey) topped the US iTunes chart in a week when Sabrina Carpenter and Ed Sheeran both dropped singles. Originally released by Laufey in 2023, it's a tender tearjerker of a ballad in which the young songwriter looked back on a youth during which she felt out of place surrounded by blue-eyed Scandinavian blondes. 'I'm so sorry that they pick you last/ Try to say your foreign name and laugh/ I know that you feel loud, so different from the crowd…' it runs. But, like the triumphantly metamorphosing duckling-to-swan heroines of so many Streisand movies, the older Laufey wants to reassure the 'funny girl' she once was will one day 'be up on stage' and 'the days of tears and failure fears and no one cares/ Will all make sense'. Streisand adds maternal wisdom as she reflects upon her own difficult youth and long struggle for recognition, while also seeming to wrap an arm around the rising star. Always a generous enunciator – a singer whose vibrato can brush the skin of emotions like a feather before plunging you into a sunken bathtub of soul – she wraps plump, loving lips around the offer of 'a squeeze' in a way that will make listeners feel they've had a real hug. Less successful is spongy new song One Heart, One Voice, on which Streisand, Ariana Grande and Mariah Carey ladle up sickly sweet lyrics and vocal sprinkles about onto the bland whipped cream and jelly of a sub-Disney love trifle. Hozier throws some gloopy hot wax at Ewan MacColl's 1957 folk song, The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, while Streisand revels in the dramatic pauses. Macca pours himself so lightly into the easygoing affection of his 2012 song My Valentine (written for his third wife Nancy Shevell) that you can swallow the maraschino cherry of the cheesy guitar solo. Both Streisand and Josh Groban (the only artist to appear on both Partners albums) relish the stage musical melodrama of Where Do I Go from You. Neither Sting's Fragile or James Taylor's The Secret 'O Life – both lovely songs – gain much from being turned into two-handers. Bob Dylan makes more effective conversational space for himself on the 1934 jazz standard The Very Thought of You – the five o'clock stubble of his devoted rasp leaning into her silky sass as a breezy harmonica blows a fresh dynamic through the old tune. It's hard to believe that they recorded in separate rooms at separate times. Sam Smith also brings a rather poignant depth to the moments his voice joins hers on To Lose You Again.
