Eric Church‘s “Chief” was released last July, debuted at Number 1 on the Top 200 Sales Chart and recently added another accolade, a Platinum certification. The EMI Records’ album was certified Platinum by the RIAA, and Church’s latest hit, “Springsteen,” has been the number 1 country single for the past 2 weeks.

Ironically, 28 years ago that same week, Bruce Springsteen went to #1 with his only #1 on the Pop Chart, “Dancing In The Dark.”
