They don't call Bruce Springsteen "the Boss" for nothing.

With Magic, Springsteen's 15th studio album and his first with the E Street Band since 2002's The Rising, the pride of the Garden State freewheeled his way to Billboard's peak, easily notching the eighth #1 opener of his 34-year career.

The Boss faced virtually no competition in his quest for #1, selling more than 335,000 copies of his latest during the record's first week in stores, according to the latest SoundScan totals. The closest threat to the Boss' chart domination, the parents of last week's #1 LP, country trio Rascal Flatts, finished at #2 on next week's albums sales chart, having generated sales of 167,900 (on the nose) for Still Feels Good. Following the Flatts at #3 is another new entry, Matchbox Twenty's retrospective offering, Exile on Mainstream, which sold nearly 130,900 units.

He's got the #1 single in the nation, but 16-year-old rapper Soulja Boy's debut album, Souljaboytellem.com, will have to settle for #4 on next week's top 200, thanks to sales of more than 117,000. That was one of 28 new releases to debut on the chart, and one of five to enter in the top five. R&B artist J. Holiday's Back of My Lac' was another, opening at #5 with 105,000 scans.
