Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Nebraska’ Becomes A Top 10 Bestseller Decades After Its Release
Atlanta – Circa 1982: The Boss, Bruce Springsteen performs at The Omni Coliseum in Atlanta, Georgia … [+]
Bruce Springsteen was already a superstar by the time he released his album Nebraska in 1982. It wasn’t his biggest commercial success at the time, as it differed greatly from his past material in terms of subject matter, tone, and sound. That didn’t stop the set from selling fairly well, and in the decades since it arrived, it has gained further admiration from both fans and critics.
The rocker revisited the collection this past weekend via CBS News. Springsteen detailed the making of the album and shared tidbits from its storied history. The newfound attention has helped the title become a bestseller once again.
Shortly after the CBS News segment aired, fans in America began purchasing Nebraska in sizable numbers. Springsteen’s project shot up the iTunes ranking in the U.S., becoming a top 10 bestseller once again.
At the time of writing, Nebraska sits at No. 8 on iTunes’ list of the bestselling albums in the U.S. Springsteen didn’t need very long to find his way back to the top 10 on the tally, and as Sundays and Mondays aren’t flush with new releases (like Fridays), he faced softer competition, thus making it easier to climb.
Nebraska is back in the spotlight for the moment as a film is in development around the album. In April of this year, 20th Century Studios acquired the rights to Deliver Me From Nowhere, which is all about the making of the set.
The upcoming movie is based on the book Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska by author Warren Zanes. Emmy-winning actor Jeremy Allen White, who scored a breakout role in Hulu’s The Bear, has been tapped to play the rocker in his younger years.
All the recent purchases of Nebraska might help it return to the Billboard charts in a few days. In fact, if it continues to perform well for the rest of this current tracking week, the title may find its way to tallies it’s never reached before, as some current lists didn’t exist when the project was released.
Nebraska Game and Parks is offering residents a chance to win prizes simply for getting outside and moving, as part of a challenge honoring America’s 250th birthday.
The Outdoor Nebraska 250-Mile Challenge invites participants to log miles through activities like walking, running, kayaking, horseback riding and more using any fitness app. The goal is to reach 250 miles before the end of the year. Once completed, participants fill out a form on the Nebraska Game and Parks website to become eligible for prizes.
Mike Selman, a regular walker at Zorinsky Lake, said the challenge caught his attention.
“I think it’s great, as long as you put in the time and effort,” Selman said.
Selman said getting outdoors is already a big part of his routine.
“I absolutely love it, I love being outdoors, just the beauty, the nature, the trees, the water,” Selman said.
He said one of his favorite aspects of the challenge is the opportunity to explore Nebraska’s many outdoor spaces.
“Especially here, around Zorinsky, Standing Bear, Flanagan, you got great opportunities and great places to go,” Selman said.
When asked if he planned to submit his miles, Selman did not hesitate.
“I’ll definitely think about it, most definitely,” Selman said.
Between Memorial Day and the end of the year, logging just over 1 mile a day would be enough to reach the 250-mile goal and qualify for prizes.

We’ll have to wait a bit longer to get into the Cowgirls’ Super Regional.
A rainy night in Lincoln meant the teams only managed to get four outs into the Super between Oklahoma State and Nebraska. The game is tied at 0. The weather delay lasted about two hours before they called it.
The game will resume at 4 p.m. Friday and be televised on ESPN2. They will not play another game Friday, as Game 2 will now take place at 4 p.m. Saturday.
The Nebraska football team added its third 2027 offensive line commitment and addition from the state of Georgia on Wednesday.
Loganville (Ga.) Grayson offensive lineman KD Jones officially announced his commitment to NU this week. The 6-foot-4, 270-pound Jones picked the Huskers over Georgia Tech, Auburn, Kentucky and Virginia Tech. He visited Lincoln on May 6 and is scheduled to take his official visit to Nebraska on June 6.

The Huskers first offered Jones in April, after offensive line coach Geep Wade had previously been recruiting him at Georgia Tech.
“Coach Wade called me and offered me today,” Jones told HuskerOnline on Apr. 25. “He has been on me for a long time, ever since he was at Tech. So his interest wasn’t anything new to me. He came to watch me train at school and was amazed. He offered the next day.”
Jones joins safety Corey Hadley from the state of Georgia in NU’s 2027 recruiting class.
“I knew nothing about Nebraska before the offer,” Jones said in April. But now that Coach Wade and Coach (Lonnie) Teasley are there, I know I can trust them.”
Jones had planned to take official visits to all the schools recruiting him, but his early commitment to NU appears to have shut down those visits.
He jones Omaha (Neb.) Millard North’s Matt Erickson and fellow Grayson product Jordan Agbanoma are the other offensive linemen in the Huskers’ 2027 recruiting class. He’s now the 10th commitment in Nebraska’s class of 2027.
