“Streets of Minneapolis” marks Springsteen’s first No. 1 on the all-format Digital Song Sales survey, which began in 2004 following the proliferation of paid downloads on the internet. In fact, it’s his first track to reach the ranking’s top 20, exceeding the No. 22 peak of Mark Knopfler’s Guitar Heroes’ “Going Home (Theme From Local Hero),” for which he joined its all-star cast, in 2024.
Attention around “Streets of Minneapolis” stems from its subject matter. Springsteen wrote and recorded the anti-ICE (United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement) song following the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis in January amid Operation Metro Surge, during which undocumented immigrants have been targeted and apprehended by ICE.
Springsteen first performed the song live in Minneapolis Jan. 30 during the Tom Morello-helmed Defend Minnesota benefit concert.
Thanks to its sales plus streams and early radio airplay, “Streets of Minneapolis” also bows at No. 20 on the multimetric Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart. In addition to its sales, the song drew 678,000 official U.S. streams and 175,000 in airplay audience in that two-day span.
