Are you telling me that Bruce Springsteen's Dancing in the Dark and Born in the U.S.A. never topped the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart? I find that hard to believe. I'm shocked that Bruce Springsteen never had a #1 single.

The Singles section is full of album tracks that got enough airplay to make the Mainstream Rock or Adult Contemporary charts, but were not actually released as singles. Seems to me, they should be removed. Wasted Time R 14:46, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

With this edit User:81.35.74.76 claimed that We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions had 500,000 sales in the UK. This is highly unlikely, given the sales of his earlier albums there, and indeed a search of the BPI certifications database at http://www.bpi.co.uk/ shows a lot of entries for Springsteen but none for The Seeger Sessions. I'm removing it. Wasted Time R 11:08, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
Santa Claus Is Coming To Town - UK single released 14th December 1985 Reached number 9 on the UK chart.

As no-one has commented on this nor updated the page, I have updated the 1985 singles to reflect a UK chart hit, I do not know if this charted in the US at the same time. 121translation ( talk) 10:36, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
The official Bruce Springsteen's album awards, in UK, (BPI certfications), need a strong update. "All" his albums are under-certified. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.172.79.179 ( talk) 21:54, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't know how to edit the main page... so, i write here...
The discography miss a major release... a collector item from 19 Cd's released in 1996 and called "The Lost Masters"... They are real since i have them... along, was released two CD called "the essential collection" ( the only two CD missing in my collection )... a reference to these 19+2 cd's can be find at http://www.newc.com/theboots/lostmasters/default.html
Maybe someone can be friendly enough for add these to the discography... my english is bad since it is not my main language...
EDIT : Found a other reference at http://www.brucebase.org.uk/sboot9.htm... "lost master" 20 and 21 was fake diffused on the market... a full discography can be find at http://www.brucebase.org.uk/bootin.htm... seem that i miss a lot of CD in my collection !!!

Under the RIAA section of the article, there were sales figures listed in place of an RIAA certification. I've replaced the sales amounts, which also had no source, with up-to-date and accurate certifications as listed in the RIAA gold and platinum database on RIAA.com. The RIAA certifications are for how many units of an album are shipped, they don't necessarily represent the amount of copies a particular album sells. Actual sales for an album can sometimes be higher or lower than a certification given it by the RIAA. Odin's Beard ( talk) 13:46, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, I've done this work up through 1983, will continue sorting out the Born in the U.S.A. singles when I get a chance. Slow going. Wasted Time R ( talk) 03:22, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
Be Black Hole Sun, why do you say "No need for that, see other discographies with those problems" and then undo all my work to distinguish between a release that didn't chart in a country and no release in a country at all? There's a big difference! Springsteen's first two singles were released only in the U.S.; he wasn't even known in the rest of the world. Another of the big issues with Springsteen's career is that he only released two singles in the U.S. from The River, for example, and many people thought "Fade Away" was a poor second choice. Your version makes it seem that he released four singles in the U.S. from it, which is utterly not the case. And so on. Why do you think there is "no need" to retain this information??? Wasted Time R ( talk) 11:41, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
(outdent) No, that's no good, because some singles released outside the U.S. did chart, for example "The River". Also, it's well-known that "Atlantic City" was released outside the U.S. but not in the U.S. Having more than one section will just duplicate a lot of information for no real purpose. What is your objection to have two different markings, one for "released but did not chart" and one for "not released in this country"? It's perfectly reasonable information to show, any good real discography will indicate the difference. Wasted Time R ( talk) 12:16, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
What is the source for the new "Music videos" section? There is a lot of wrong or misleading information in it. Wasted Time R ( talk) 12:58, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
Vigilante Man 1988 is also missing from the list — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7F:2E15:3500:A45E:B653:F636:46DB ( talk) 14:15, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
User:QotSA made extensive changes to this page, without any comments as to why in either edit summaries or this talk page. QotSA, you're a new user, but you should be aware that this is poor form. If you look at the history of this article, you'll see that several editors have been working on the discography, so you need to work in conjunction with them.
I've made two backouts to QotSA's edits (which doesn't mean I endorse the rest). One, the article needed a lead section, but it can't just be a copy of the main bio article's lead. It has to be something that summarizes this discography (see Coldplay discography for an example). I've rewritten the lead to reflect this. Two, the Singles section was rewritten to eliminate some countries and to remove the distinction between "never released" and "released but did not chart". I'm not sure why countries were removed, and maintaining the distinction between those two kinds of outcomes is very important for Springsteen's discography, per the discussions above. Also, I've restored the coding that gets the ToC and the infobox aligned together, and I've restored the "incomplete" tag on the Music videos section per the comment above. Wasted Time R ( talk) 14:58, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
As it turns out, two of the major contributors to this discography, Be Black Hole Sun and QotSA, have turned out to be socks of the same user and have been blocked. That leaves the question of what to do with his or her edits. By rights, they can all be backed out unconditionally. In this case, it's debatable whether this user's edits have improved or degraded the article; it probably varies section by section. I'm inclined to do nothing for now and leave things as they are, pending specific improvements on a per-instance basis. Wasted Time R ( talk) 02:18, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
In the tables, should the album titles be boldfaced or not (see WP:MOSBOLD)? Rock'N'More ( talk) 20:55, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
In the "Studio albums" section, there is missing Canadian, Irish and Norwegian charts position. However, the "Compilation albums" section does have them all. I wondered if they would different albums, but both entries go to same article. 85.217.37.198 ( talk) 11:12, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Bruce Springsteen discography's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
