Magic by Bruce Springsteen
Magic is an album by Bruce Springsteen, released in 2007. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 22 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Radio Nowhere”, on 10 lists with a best position of #5.
Magic, Bruce Springsteen's fifteenth studio album, hit vinyl on September 25, 2007, and CD a week later on Columbia, and it's the sound of the Boss plugging the E Street Band back in after a detour through folk. It was his first record with them since The Rising in 2002, following the hushed Devils & Dust and the hootenanny of We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions, and Brendan O'Brien produced it with every dial pushed toward full-bore heartland rock.
"Radio Nowhere" comes out swinging, all churning guitars and urgency, while "Girls in Their Summer Clothes" is pure widescreen shimmer, the kind of wistful pop the E Street sound was built to carry. Between them those two songs took home three Grammys, and the album went to number one in six countries, America and Britain among them, and triple platinum in Ireland.
