New ‘Best of Bruce Springsteen’ collection detailed

The new project will be available in standard and expanded editions

Sony Music will celebrate the music of Bruce Springsteen next month with a collection of original songs spanning his storied 50-year recording career, from 1973’s Greeting from Asbury Park, NJ to 2020’s Letter To You. Best Of Bruce Springsteen will be available on April 19th, and will come in physical formats as an 18-track set across 2 LPs or single CD – and digitally as an expanded 31-song package.

The collection will span early-career favorites like “Growin’ Up” and “Rosalita (Come Out Tonight),” staples of Springsteen’s live shows from “Dancing In The Dark” to “The Rising,” best-selling breakouts like “Born To Run” and “Hungry Heart,” as well as recent releases “Hello Sunshine” and “Letter To You.” Here, these career-spanning works appear together in one set for the first time.

Best Of Bruce Springsteen arrives with an album cover shot by Eric Meola during the Born To Run sessions, as well as new liner notes by Erik Flannigan.

The collection captures a body of work that has earned Springsteen honors and accolades including 20 Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, two Golden Globes, a special Tony Award, the Presidential Medal Of Freedom, a Kennedy Center Honor, and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame. It has also made Springsteen one of the world’s most in-demand artists – topping 140 million records sold across the globe, more than 70 million in the United States alone, and becoming the first artist in history with a top five album in six consecutive decades. Springsteen is also one of only four artists to sell more than 20 million concert tickets since 1980 – including the highest-grossing worldwide tours of 2012 and 2016.

Before the release of Best Of Bruce Springsteen, he’ll return to the road with The E Street Band later this month, beginning on March 19th in Phoenix, Arizona for a series of 51 shows across North America and Europe. The trek is the group’s first run together since 2016-2017.
