Posted January 17, 20169 yr Yes it's Heroes (or "Heroes") on top for the first time, after a 39 year wait. Bowie is a legend, and Heroes was underestimated by everyone, including me, when it came out in 1977. Donna Summer had just blown everyone away with I Feel Love, Oxygene and Magic Fly were in the charts sounding like the future, and punk rock was all the rage, Bowie himslef had already done the synth pop thing earlier in the year with Sound And Vision, and Heroes just seemed very low-key. It made my top 20, and then eventually top 5 in 2012, and now becomes David Bowie's 11th chart topper. 25 Bowie tracks old and new enter my expanded chart (I had to do it again, it would have been unfair to chop the bottom 25 out), while his final single while alive Lazarus shoots up to 8. Highest of the actual new entries is Steve Aoki, and Walk Off The Earth, their second top 10 single, while Turin Brakes radio mix gives them a very 2016 sound and a welcome top 20 return after 11 years away and 15 years after debuting. I'm gratified to see a lot of tracks in the UK charts at last, months after charting in mine (or mere weeks in some cases) and two of them duly climb back up (X Ambassadors and Shawn Mendes), but this chart is all about David Bowie, Music Legend and a real Hero of mine.

January 20, 20169 yr Hey John. I was contemplating Steve Aoki for BJSC but changed my mind. Did you send it!???!? :o Faded entering quite high so I assume it had the potential to smash here? I hope so!! also Life On Mars? <3 one of my favourite ever songs. brill chart :jump:
January 21, 20169 yr Hi :hi: Good to see David Bowie with strong domination of your chart. I like Snakehips, David Guetta, Coldplay, Sia and Alan Walker too :D

I hope so!! also Life On Mars? <3 one of my favourite ever songs. brill chart :jump: Thanks James, I didn't want to nick Steve Aoki in case you entered it - not that I mind anyone taking anything in my charts and sending it in (I'm all in favour!) and I've usually got a few on stand0by if I don't find anything new to me. Faded is great though I prefer Steve Aoki & co, suspect Faded is going to be big in the UK though and Steve Aoki isn't. Doh! cheers! john
