In 1985, Bruce Springsteen's career went supernova with the success of his "Born In The U.S.A." album. "Glory Days' was the fifth single released from the album and was also the fifth Top 10 single from that release. The previous singles: "Dancing In The Dark", "Cover Me", "Born In The U.S.A." and "I'm On Fire" all did the business of getting into the Top 10.
