Good post by Jon MW. So the question is why hasn't Springsteen had many hits? Irrespective of the Westlife argument (which is hard to argue) His results are pretty poor.

Wasn't it Reagan that thought born in the USA was patriotic, seem to recall him making an arse of himself over it  Who's winning the vote BTW? as i can't see the results unless i vote and as a music lover i'm unable to do so. |

Sometimes you have to suffer a little bit in your youth to motivate yourself to succeed in later life. Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft? Of course not.  |

Answer - he's always been more an album and session (or live if you prefer) type artist as are his followers. He doesn't attract enough of the demographic who bought singles, whereas Adams targeted that area. Think you'll find Springsteen has the greater album sales but Adams whoops him in the singles sales. |

Crazy Frog was at number one for many weeks - a very annoying song. Bryan Adams also had a number one for ages with an annoying song. Therefore, Bryan Adams is as bad as the crazy frog.
There's logic there.

Westlife, Crazy Frog ... gives us a few clues to your record collection. So if an artist struggles to sells singles it is because he is more of a "album artist"  |

Some of the worlds most popular and biggest selling rock bands very rarely released singles.
Led Zeppelin springs to mind.

I buy an album to listen to an artists range of songs and enjoy various moods they are trying to create, people mostly buy singles for a "Quick fix".

Led Zeppelin never released a single in the UK throughout their career. Because they never recorded anything good enough to release?  |
