American rock singer (born 1949)

Bruce Springsteen — born in New Jersey in 1949, nicknamed "the Boss" — broke through with Born to Run in 1975 and became a stadium-sized storyteller of American working-class life, backed by the E Street Band for most of six decades and 21 albums. You had a few stray plays between 2018 and mid-2022, then it clicked in October 2022: Born in the U.S.A. and Born to Run both got serious rotation, and that live "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town" from 1975 became a December staple. You came back hard in May 2026 after a quiet stretch, leaning into "Dancing in the Dark" and "Thunder Road."
