Bruce Springsteen nets his tenth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as "Wrecking Ball" debuts atop the tally with 196,000 sold in its first week (according to Nielsen SoundScan).
Among all acts, Springsteen ties Elvis Presley for the third-most No. 1s in history. Only the Beatles (with 19) and Jay-Z (12) have more.
Springsteen's first No. 1 came with 1980's "The River." He last hit the top with his 2009 album "Working on a Dream," which launched with 224,000. "Wrecking Ball" is also the Boss' 17th top 10 album, stretching back to 1975's "Born to Run." It spent three weeks at No. 3.
Adele's "21" steps aside for Springsteen, slipping down a spot to No. 2 with 195,000 (down 21%) after 23 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1.
The first single off Bruce Springsteen's 'Wrecking Ball' album is 'We take care of our own'.
