BossDex: 10 days before launch

So what kind of hype are we seeing with the upcoming release of the Live in Dublin CD/DVD?

Take a look, first at the BlogoSphere to see what percentage of posts relate or mention Springsteen:

Now, take a look at site traffic:

So it seems that the activity has slowed a little as we get closer to the launch. Let's see what happens when the CD/DVD is in stores.

BossDex: A little more depth

We here at SpringsteenEsque.com like to think that we are contributing to the greater Springsteen Blogosphere by offering a little insight into the trends the surround Springsteen...whether that is true or not who knows but we keep trying.

With that in mind, we've expanded the great BossDex to include a few other sites (including our very own SpringsteenTracker.com) and this is what we've come up with:

Legend:
Blue: Backstreets.com
Red: BruceSpringsteen.net
Light Green: GreasyLake.org
Dark Green: Springsteentracker.com (we registered!)

Also, Backstreets.com users are mostly from the US (38.2%) with Italy a distant second with 16.9% for the same period.

Helpful? Nah. But it certainly helps pass the time.

BossDex: Interest is stable

So, even with very little news, very little indication as to when the next album/tour will be announced and with only one lame picture of Tom Hanks and Springsteen hanging out in the sun, Springsteen has managed to at least maintain our interest:

Springsteen winning 2 Grammy's = traffic spike

Take a look at the last month of blog activity where Springsteen is mentioned. All is average until February 12th rolls around (the day after his double shot of Grammy's). Traffic kicks into high gear when all the media and bloggers (us included) reported his wins.

Wonder what impact this had on sales?

The Bossdex: Definitely a little buzz happening

We all know about the rumors -- Springsteen in New Orleans recording with the E Street Band and judging by the activity on Backstreets.com, I would say there is a lot of interest in what is happening down there.

If you are like me, you've become spoiled at the amount of Springsteen that is all of a sudden available. He's been on a spree over the last few years and I hope he keeps it up.
