#21: Blue Jean (from Tonight) LTYvjrM6djo Year of release: 1984 UK Peak: #6 Chart Run: {17-6-7-17-27-39-54-75-x-84} (22/09/1984 - 24/11/1984) Scores: 10 (SamJudd, Taylor Jago), 8 (Severin, Colm), 7.5 (dandy*), 7 (popchartfreak), 6 (Joe.) Average: 8.07 Final score: 80.74 Blue Jean was the first single of the much derided Tonight album and whilst it remained in use on Bowie’s later tours, the singer hasn’t been overly complimentary of the track, describing it as ‘ sexist rock ‘n roll’ and, ‘not very cerebral’. Taking his inspiration from Eddie Cochran Bowie took it from a handful of ideas he had for song much to Hugh Padgham’s displeasure. Bowie’s latest producer had hoped to work with him for some time, but only got the opportunity when Bowie seemed to have lost his interest in either song writing or new ideas. The resultant album contained only two songs written entirely by Bowie (Loving The Alien is the other). Blue Jean itself was a deliberate attempt at pleasing his new audience, and it duly took him back in to the top ten. However, critical reaction was negative and whispers even began among long time fans that Bowie had ‘sold out.’ Bowie himself has later commented that the 80’s were his ‘Phil Collins years’ and a creative nadir. By quite some distance the best song on Tonight (although Loving The Alien is also excellent), Blue Jean is, along with Loving The Alien, the reason Tonight is a better album than Never Let Me Down. It was also Bowie's first top 40 single appearing on one of his studio albums not to have a longer album version since Look Back In Anger.

#22: Drive-In Saturday (from Aladdin Sane) zGcLw_bkh9U Year of release: 1973 UK Peak: #3 Chart Run: {16-8-7-3-8-6-16-21-28-40} (14/04/1973 - 16/06/1973) Scores: 10 (Joe.), 9 (popchartfreak, Severin), 8.5 (Taylor Jago), 8 (SamJudd), 7 (richie), 6.5 (Dandy*), 4 (Colm) Average: 7.75 Final score: 77.5 The 2nd release from Aladdin Sane is considered by some to be his finest Glam Rock era single, and indeed many consider Aladdin Sane to be his finest album. Heavily influenced by 1950’s America it also adds a dose of futuristic Sci-Fi references. The concept being people in the future have forgotten their emotions and look to old movies to learn how to feel again. The lyrics reference Mick Jagger and Twiggy – both would later work with Bowie (the Dancing In The Street single and the cover of Pin-Ups respectively). The song was offered to Mott TheHoople but the band turned it down. A decision that both perplexed and infuriated Bowie. And so the highest song from the site's favourite Bowie album, Aladdin Sane, finishes in 22nd place. Although The Jean Genie is more memorable and iconic, the story and lyrics of Drive-In Saturday are more compelling, and so it finishing above the former is comprehensible.

And predictably they are leaving one of their best tracks to date as an album track in favour of the far inferior Hair. (Maybe there'll be a fifth single but I'm not holding much hope). Still, I hope it does well.

#23: Everyone' Says 'Hi (from Heathen) fmEnRtMaeCo Year of release: 2002 UK Peak: #20 Chart Run: {20-46-72} (28/09/2002 - 12/10/2002) Scores: 8.5 (Taylor Jago), 8 (popchartfreak, Severin, SamJudd, Joe.), 7 (dandy*), 6 (Colm) Average: 7.64 Final score: 76.42 Bowie had begun working on the follow up to 1999’s ‘Hours...’ before the final single was released. The album was intended to be a few new songs and a number of re-recorded versions of some of his earliest songs, such as I Dig Everything, The London Boys and Liza Jane. Among the new songs were Afraid and Uncle Floyd (Slip Away). The sessions for these inspired Bowie and the resulting work would become the Heathen album. Toy itself was initially postponed and then shelved. The album remains unreleased but widely bootlegged. The Heathen album was seen by many as a new beginning for Bowie. It garnered rave reviews where previous albums’ had been mixed. Although the album was written before the September 11th attacks on New York, many picked up on the lyrics as a reference to them. Bowie has said that part of the albums focus was the sense of anger and frustration that New York exists on and that the songs weren’t inspired by the events but that some of the recording took place afterwards and it may have inflected the performances. Out of all of Bowie’s post 80’s albums, Heathen was the one widely regarded as his best until Blackstar was released. Everyone Says ‘Hi’ was the only UK single from the album and has a straightforward lyric about distant friends. Over half the people who rated this gave it a 8, and with a difference of just 2.5 between its highst and lowest score it definitely isn't an opinion splitter. On a side note, sorry for the delay, but my computer crashed when I got back from holiday Wednesday and the file with the results was on it, so I've had to count all the results again and create a new file.

Work From Home is horrid, thank goodness it hasn't made the top 3. I haven't heard any of the top 3, so can't judge. Still, they can't be worse than Fifth Harmony's "song", surely?

I am horrified at the fact that La La La isn't in the top 10. Thank goodness Bounce hasn't done nearly as well as I had feared, truly horrid song. Yes to Gentleman being bottom five aswell, it's one of the worst songs in existence. Only Gangnam Style and Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae) are worse.

Born To Die is the best out of the four remaining! Ride out, then National Anthem.

Please no.

Sigala earns his third number one! Congratulations to Sigala, Imani and DJ Fresh, who climb three places to the top spot with Say You Do. Subsequently, Sigala becomes the second artist (after Blonde) to get to number one with his first three releases. With Give Me Your Love looking to make a strong impact, he could very easily earn his fourth number one quickly. It is the first number one (and chart entry) for Imani, and the second number one for DJ Fresh following Gravity last year. I Took A Pill In Ibiza slides one place to #2, after a week at number one. Coldplay's Hymn For The Weekend continues to do well, spending its 10th week in the top 3. Meanwhile, Zara Larsson's Lush Life continues its equally strong performance, spending its 18th week in the top 7. The Pet Shop Boys' new album Super has a big impact on this week's chart, with The Pop Kids vaulting 38 places to #5. Say It To Me enters at #12, while Happiness rockets 45 places to #17. Into Thin Air, Groovy and Inner Sanctum enter at #46, #61 and #71 respectively, while their David Bowie collaboration Hallo Spaceboy climbs 21 places to #61 and Sad Robot World fals 15 places to #96. David Bowie's name is now out of the top 5 as Ashes To Ashes falls one place to #6, and Absolute Beginners also slides a place to #10. Girls Like climbs 3 places to #7, No falls two places to #8 and Faded climbs three places to #9. Other notable tracks Following its release as the third single from Blackstar, and the release of its video, I Can't Give Everything Away climbs 11 places to reach a new peak of #14. After just outpeaking Cast A Spell last week, Nothing Like This retreats six places to #13. For now, at least, the chances of it becoming Blonde's fourth number one look slim. I acquired Now 93 this week, and subsequently songs from the album see boosts in the chart, mostly the songs at the end of Disc 2. As previously mentioned, Faded climbs three places to #9, while Sugar rebounds 19 places to #79. I'm In Control is a new entry at #51, Stressed Out climbs 19 places to reach a new peak of #35, The Sound climbs 9 places to #39 (also a new peak), One Call Away jumps 11 places to #21, beating its previous #24 peak, and Heroes climbs 1 places to return to the top 15. Army also re-enters at #100. The only new entry not involving Neil Tennant, Chris Lowe or Now 93 comes from Kygo and Kodaline's Raging, which enters at #61. After 40 and 47 weeks in the top 40 respectively, Don't Be So Hard On Yourself and Shine drop out of the top 40. Glitterball, which originally dropped out three weeks ago but re-entered last week, also falls out, but with 42 weeks in the top 40 to its name. The last time none of those three songs were in the top 40, David Bowie was alive, the FIFA corruption case hadn't started, same-sex marriage was illegal in Ireland and we weren't faced with the possibility of a psychopath leading America. Meanwhile, leaving the top 100 after a whopping 76 weeks is Ella Henderson's Give Your Heart Away. The last time that wasn't in the top 100, the Charlie Hebdo attacks hadn't occurred, the ancient cities of Nimrub, Hatra and Dur-Sharrukin still existed and downloads were still greater than streaming in the singles chart.

A petition would be more likely to work. And that won't work either. I'd expect that it would need to perform like Zara Larsson's Lush Life (which means climbing up the chart regardless of the pre-order) but I don't think that will happen.

That is just crap. The video is awful aswell. She's on the road to do a Rihanna, only before she gets any breakthrough and so the general public will only know the generic, trashy and terrible singer from that song and video, and that's just sad :(

http://www.funradio.fr/news/will-i-am-fun-...irls-7782722045 It's not bad, certainly not as bad as It's My Birthday but it's not even close to being good enough to redeem himself from that.

Loving this! You can really feel Nile Rodgers's sound in there aswell.

Considering Say You Do came out three weeks ago, this being OA/OS is pretty unlikely.

Definitely agree with The Chainsmokers #SELFIE to Roses. Other suggestions for me include: Little Mix - Cannonball to Wings DJ Snake - Turn Down For What to Lean On DJ Fresh - Dibby Dibby Sound to Make U Bounce Charli XCX - Fancy to Boom Clap David Bowie - John, I'm Only Dancing (Again) and Alabama Song to Ashes To Ashes Usher - I Don't Mind to Don't Look Down Justin Bieber - Where Are U Now? to What Do You Mean?

#24: Beauty And The Beast (from Heroes) l4fFL4uU_RE Year of release: 1978 UK Peak: #39 Chart Run: {50-40-39} (21/01/1978 - 04/02/1978) Scores: 10 (Severin, richie), 9.5 (Joe.), 9 (Taylor Jago), 7 (popchartfreak), 6 (Acidburn), 5.5 (Dandy), 4 (Colm) Average: 7.625 Final score: 76.25 The 2nd single from ‘Heroes’ has one of the more ambiguous lyrics from the era. It has been interpreted as being about the mood swings Bowie suffered from during his cocaine abuse. About the inner struggle between the Jekyll and Hyde side of everyone’s personality. Some, mindful of Bowie’s residence, have even inferred the lyrics to be about Berlin itself. Two halves of a single whole divided between East and West Berlin, Democracy and Communism. Robert Fripp’s guitar part was apparently a single take made minutes after arrival at the studio. The single again failed to reach the heights of success Bowie had enjoyed in the early half of the decade, barely scraping the UK Top 40. Despite only peaking at #39, Beauty And The Beast is a brilliant song, and one with really commands your attention.

#25: The Jean Genie (from Aladdin Sane) CGQo6zpVzt8 Year of release: 1972 UK Peak: #2 Chart Run: {33-31-16-16-4-2-3-3-5-13-26-28-39} Scores: 10 (Severin, Acidburn), 9 (popchartfreak, richie, Taylor Jago), 8.5 (Dandy), 7 (Joe.), 5 (AH Gold, Colm), 3 (Fgiboy2511) Average: 7.55 Final score: 75.5 Recorded in New York City, inspired by his new friend Iggy Pop and with a not very subtle reference to author Jean Genet, The Jean Genie very nearly gave Bowie his first UK #1. Unfortunately this slice of Proto-Punk was held off the top spot, not only by Little Jimmy Osmond’s Long Haired Lover from Liverpool but also The Sweet’s Blockbuster. To add insult to injury Blockbuster was built around a near identical guitar riff. A video was recorded in New York with Bowie, still in his Ziggy Stardust character but showing a more debauched personality than before. This alluded to the Aladdin Sane persona – essentially Ziggy goes to America and gets messed up and paranoid on drugs. Life would eventually imitate art. I can't be the only one to be surprised that isn't higher. I even recounted the results, just to be sure. Anyway, The Jean Genie was Bowie's first top 3 hit, and remains one of his most iconic songs.

#26: Rock 'n' Roll Suicide (from The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars) 9jg4ekLG9Zo Year of release: 1974 UK Peak: #22 Chart Run: {28-23-23-22-26-29-49} (20/04/1974 - 01/06/1974) Scores: 11 (richie), 10 (Severin), 9 (Joe.), 7.5 (Taylor Jago), 6 (popchartfreak, Acidburn), 5.5 (Dandy), 5 (Colm) Average: 7.5 Final score: 75 The closing track on the Ziggy album and for the Ziggy tour was released by RCA as a stop gap/cash grabbing exercise during a gap in new material or a clever way to place a full stop on Bowie’s Glam Rock period. Its chart position suffered as the B-side Quicksand was also already widely available to fans. The song itself has an almost musical feel to it both musically and lyricall as it details Ziggy’s fall from grace and final days as a largely forgotten, faded rock star that the world had moved on from, making its release a rather fitting goodbye to Ziggy himself. Released as the second single from The Rise Of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars two years after the album's release, Rock 'n' Roll unsurprisingly didn't set the charts alight. Still, it did better than Suffragette City when that was released two years later.

#27: Where Are We Now? (from The Next Day) QWtsV50_-p4 Year of release: 2013 UK Peak: #6 Chart: {6-41} (19/01/2013 - 26/01/2013) Scores: 10 (Taylor Jago), 9 (Severin, Acidburn, Dandy), 8 (Joe.), 7 (popchartfreak, Fgiboy2511), 6 (richie), 5 (AH Gold, Colm) Average: 7.5 Final score: 75 On January 8th 2013 at 5am GMT, davidbowie.com uploaded the video for ‘Where Are We Now?’ with a notice informing that the song, and pre-orders for the album could be bought on iTunes. The album’s producer, Tony Visconti, had been sitting at his computer pressing the refresh button repeatedly. It took approximately 15 minutes for the fans to go into meltdown. Within the hour it was headline news on most stations. David Bowie had come out of retirement and taken everyone by surprise. In the years following Bowie’s heart operation in 2004 he had repeatedly stated that he no longer felt inclined to make music and that he was happy to spends his days reading, walking and relaxing in New York. There was even talk of him being in poor health. Then in 2010 Tony Visconti received an unexpected email that simply asked if he fancied ‘doing something.’ They began meeting up discreetly, planning and then Bowie sent out a series of email entitled ‘Schtum’ – a German expression for ‘keep quiet.’ All of the musicians were required to sign non-disclosure agreements before work began on the album. Work began on the album in November. Bowie had continued writing vague outlines of songs during his hiatus. On the final day of recording Bowie packed up his gear, said his goodbyes, and left. The musicians would not hear from him again until summoned in spring 2011 where recording began in earnest with the studio time booked in as The Secret. Just under 2 years later and Bowie had his album ready to go. It was released to universal acclaim. Where Are We Now? references Bowie’s time in Berlin – One of his most enduring and influential periods. The song ‘s narrator wanders the cities’ street and parks but the Berlin he remembers most is gone. Everything has changed since the reunification of Germany and the fall of the Berlin Wall. The title is taken from son Duncan Jones’ film Moon, in which a promotional film of the same name suggests a beautiful future. Throughout the song Bowie chooses not to answer the question of Where Are We Now? At #27 we have Where Are We Now?, the song which took the world by surprise and almost became his first top 5 hit in 27 years. Sadly, it freefell from then, but three years later it remains magnificent.
