Bruce Springsteen

Now we’re getting to the part of the list that’s filled with genuine shocks. Bruce Springsteen is a rock legend, selling over 120 million records. That success has made him one of the best-selling artists of all-time, as well as having won 20 Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes, and an Academy Award. Born in the USA and Born To Run are two of the best-selling albums in American music history, yet Springsteen has never had a number one hit.

He came oh-so-close in 1984 when Dancing in the Dark hit number two, but has never been able to clinch top spot. Springsteen is renowned for his epic, energetic stage performances and continues to tour regularly today. His 2014 album High Hopes was voted the second best album of the year by Rolling Stone, so there’s certainly still time for the Boss to hit number one.
