The Boss is back on the charts, thanks to country star Zach Bryan.
Nearly 50 years after making his first Billboard chart debut, Bruce Springsteen has scored another first, appearing on the Hot Country Songs chart, thanks to an appearance on Zach's new album.
He has also returned to the Hot 100 chart for the first time in 15 years.
The Boss made a guest appearance on Zach's new song Sandpaper, which debuted at #26 on the Hot Country Songs chart and #71 on the Hot 100.
The last time Bruce was on the Hot 100 was in 2009 with Working on a Dream, which reached #95.
Bruce first hit the Hot 100 in 1975 with Born To Run, which peaked at #23. Since then he has had 12 top-10 singles, including his highest-charting tune, Dancing in the Dark, which made it to #2 in 1984.

Sandpaper, from Zach's new album The Great American Bar Scene, has similarities to Bruce's Born in the U.S.A. classic I’m On Fire, which was a #6 hit for The Boss.
The pair first performed the tune together in concert back in March when Bruce flew from San Diego to join Zach onstage at his concert at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. Watch below!
