Madonna's Madame X took the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 ahead of Springsteen's Western
Stars, but the New Jersey rocker still recorded an impressive achievement by making his 20th
appearance among the top 10 Billboard albums. He is only the sixth male artist to do so, joining
Paul McCartney (20), Elton John (21), George Strait (21), Bob Dylan (22), and Elvis Presley (27).
He is tied for third with Barbara Streisand in all-time No. 1 albums with 11. The Beatles and Jay-Z
lead the way with 19 and 14, respectively.
