The Boss Upstages Taylor Swift

Bruce Springsteen must have done something right during his half-time performance at Sunday night's game. It led him to a number one seat on the Billboard 200.

Springsteen's new album, Working on a Dream, debuted with 224,000 sales in its first week, according to the New York Times. Taylor Swift's Fearless was knocked out of her first-place spot, way down to second, with 55,000 sales.

Billboard reports that Springsteen is now tied with the Rolling Stones for the third-most No. 1 albums, both with 9. The only bands to surpass them are the Beatles with 19, and Elvis Presley and Jay-Z with 10 each.

Springsteen generated a lot of hype for his album with a performance at the presidential inauguration last month and during the Super Bowl. Billboard reports that the performances look to have impacted sales, but they still fell short compared to Springsteen's last No. 1 album, 2007's Magic. Dream sold 100,000 fewer copies in its first week than did Magic, according to MTV news.

Springsteen and Swift will have new competition on the charts next week as the Fray and Dierks Bentley's new albums enter on the scene.
