So annoying, Drag Me Down is going to win when its video is terrible. King was the second best video of 2015, behind Black Magic, so I'm rooting for that.

qrMeWAKZl6E Much better than Alone No More, but nowhere near as good as WIsh You Were Mine or Afraid To Love.

Beneath Your Beautiful and Chandelier are both amazing! Forget You is great aswell.

I never said it was accurate.

This way, he can't say it's sold more than the number I gave.

At best, 6 million (and probably a lot less) of this country's population owns Chandelier. And possibly 100,000 of those people are dead. That leaves at least 58.8 million people in this UK (and probably a lot more) who don't own it. Consider your theory debunked.

Thanks! Loving your number one aswell. Thanks for commenting!

Just Dance and Grenade are both great! King is an absolute masterpiece and is up there with some of the best songs ever made, in my opinion. I rank it ninth best song of all-time. Shine is also one of the best songs of 2015.

#56: Miracle Goodnight (from Black Tie White Noise) 829mlJiRCIU Year of release: 1993 UK Peak: #40 Chart Run: {40-54} Scores: 8 (popchartfreak), 7 (Severin), 6 (Joe., Taylor Jago), 5 (Dandy, Colm), 3 (Acidburn) Average: 5.71 Final score: 57.14 Miracle Goodnight, like much of its parent album, is about Bowie’s new wife Iman. The song is as conventional a love song as he ever wrote. Bowie would even declare declare the whole album a ‘wedding present.’ The album is typically viewed as a return to form that set him up for a decade of work that, whilst not quite at the level of his 70’s output, would put the inconsistency of the 80’s behind him. Nile Rodgers has said that Bowie was much more relaxed and happier than he was during the recording of their last album together – Let’s Dance. Bowie also reconnected with Mick Ronson, his guitarist from the early 70’s, who provided guitar for the Morrissey cover – I Know It’s Gonna Happen Some Day. He would soon commence working with Brian Eno again too. Critical response to the album was positive, with most calling it his best album since Scary Monsters. This is arguably the most uninteresting song Bowie has done after John, I'm Only Dancing (Again) It's not bad, but it's a bit bland. Anyway, with this out only one song from Black Tie White Noise remains.

#57: Black Tie White Noise (featuring Al B. Sure) (from Black Tie White Noise) pU7aU71KWr8 Year of release: 1993 UK Peak: #36 Chart Run: {36-54} (12/06/1993 - 19/06/1993) Scores: 7 (popchartfreak, Severin), 6.5 (Taylor Jago), 5 (Acidburn, Joe., Fgiboy2511, Colm), 4 (richie, Dandy) Average: 5.39 Final score: 53.89 In April 1992 David Bowie married supermodel Iman Abdumajid. In the second week of their honeymoon period they flew to Los Angeles for some apartment shopping. A planned celebratory dinner was cancelled, with the couple confined to their hotel, watching through the windows as Los Angeles erupted into riots following the acquittal of four LAPD officers who had been caught on camera severely beating Rodney King. Black Tie White Noise was Bowie’s reaction not only to the riots but also his attack on ‘universal harmony’ songs like We Are The World or Ebony & Ivory; accusing them of being nothing more than cheap slogans to alleviate the guilt of ‘white liberals,’ rather than any indication of change in the world. Bowie would say ‘There’s going to be an awful lot of antagonism before there’s any real move forward.’ Guest vocalist Al B Sure! Was an odd choice as he was a minor presence on the R&B/Hip Hop scene whose career had effectively stalled already. Al would not release another record for 16 years. With a difference of only 3 between its highest and lowest score (a feat matched by our winner's 11-8 and only beaten by a 10-8 for the song in seventh place), Black Tie White Noise is definitely a song most people agree on.

#58: Baby Universal (as part of Tin Machine) E7q3FDDmqmA Year of release: 1991 UK Peak: #48 Chart Run: {48-49-71} (02/11/1991 - 16/11/1991) Scores: 8 (Severin), 7 (Joe.), 6 (Acidburn, Taylor Jago), 4 (Colm), 0 (Dandy) Average: 5.17 Final score: 51.67 Baby Universal was one of the earliest songs written by Bowie and Reeves Gabrels after Tin Machine was formed, but the song was put aside because it didn’t feel right on the first album. It was selected for the second album partly because Bowie had been too busy with his greatest hits tour to find time to write new material. Consequently the Tin Machine II album feature far less contribution from him than the first. The song was re-tooled for the album and has a lyric recalling past obsessions of messianic figures from space. The band embarked on a tour the same month the single was released and there were plans to work on a third album in 1993 but the band broke up. Personal reasons were cited but speculation was rife that Bowie’s desire to return to solo recording and Hunt Sales’ increasing drug problems were the cause. And so we have Tin Machine for the final time here with Baby Universal. And like their two other appearances here, it isn't up to the normal Bowie standard. Is Under The God any better?

#59: Under Pressure (Rah Mix) FUU67fcSKOU Year of release: 1999 UK Peak: #14 Chart Run: {14-32-36-46-55-59-69-x2-98-86} (18/12/1999 - 26/02/2000) Scores: 10 (Fgiboy2511), 8 (popchartfreak), 7 (Acidburn), 6.5 (Taylor Jago), 5 (AH Gold, Colm), 4 (Joe.), 0 (Severin, Dandy) Average; 5.05 Final score: 50.55 A remix of the former UK #1 single that was released to promote Queen’s forthcoming Greatest Hits III compilation. The release had no input from Bowie beyond the original recording. The video featured footage of Queen from their 1986 Wembley show and Bowie from the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert splced together so they appeared to be duetting live. I'm in two minds about this. It's not bad, but it's utterly useless and the original is far superior.

Glitterball is amazing! Alive and Not Letting Go are also great! And Jealous is good too. Waiting For Love is godawful though :puke2:

They really missed a trick by having a sheep perform the third song. Such a comedown in quality though. From a masterpiece to a group of rabbits performing one of the worst songs ever :puke2:

#11: The Next Day Votes: 2 Percentage: 22.22% #12: Let's Dance Votes: 4 Percentage: 44.44% The Next Day was Bowie's comeback album and was his first number one album since Black Tie White Noise. It finishes just outside the top 10. It does house some good tracks, suchas Where Are We Now? and The Stars (Are Out Tonight), among others, but it definitely finishes at the right position here. Let's Dance is really an album of two halves. The first includes some of his best tracks, such as Modern Love, China Girl and Let's Dance, while the other is rather poor and contains a terrible version of Cat People (Putting Out Fire). #11: The Next Day - 2 votes, 22.22% #12: Let's Dance - 4 votes, 44.44% #13: Lodger - 3 votes, 37.50% #14: Heathen - 3 votes, 37.50% #15: David Bowie/Space Oddity - 2 votes, 20.00% / 3 votes, 33.33% (tiebreaker) #16: Reality - 2 votes, 20.00% / 4 votes, 44.44% (tiebreaker) #17: Young Americans - 2 votes, 18.18% / 1 vote, 50.00% (first tiebreaker) / 4 votes, 40.00% (second tiebreaker) #18: Outside - 2 votes, 18.18% / 1 vote, 50.00% (first tiebreaker) / 6 votes, 60.00% (second tiebreaker) #19: Earthling - 2 votes, 28.57% #20: Hours... - 2 votes, 28.57% / 3 votes, 42.86% (tiebreaker) #21: Black Tie White Noise - 2 votes, 28.57% / 4 votes, 57.14% (tiebreaker) #22: David Bowie - 2 votes, 18.18% / 2 votes, 22.22% (tiebreaker) #23: Pin Ups - 2 votes, 18.18% / 7 votes, 77.77% (tiebreaker) #24: Tonight - 2 votes, 28.57% #25: Never Let Me Down - 3 votes, 42.86% Votes closes on Thursday evening.

Pass Out is great. Ho Hey is good. I'm Yours is kinda meh.

All of these are good except Hey Mama. What Kind Of Man is so underrated, the second best song of 2015 for me.

#60: You Belong in Rock 'n' Roll (as part of Tin Machine) XEtOjC0NLFw Year of release: 1991 UK Peak: #33 Chart Run: {39-33-52} Scores: 9 (Acidburn), 8 (Severin), 6 (Taylor Jago), 5 (popchartfreak), 4 (Joe., Colm), -1 (Dandy) Average: 5 Final score: 50 Tin Machine biggest hit single was released ahead of the band’s second album. It granted them a Top Of The Pops performance that featured a memorable appearance from a bread roll. The bands sound was a little less raw for this album and the song was heavily inspired by the contrasting influences of Marc Bolan and Nine Inch Nails. Guitarist Reeves Gabrels wanted to add some Industrial textures and began by using an electric razor to vibrate the strings, but found he wanted something with variable speeds. He settles on using a sex toy. The band still hadn’t captured the public imagination and Bowie’s recent greatest hits tour had re-ignited interest in his solo career. Despite protestations that all was well, tensions were building in the group. Having received a better highest score than Tin Machine/Maggie's Farm (Live), You Belong In Rock 'n' Roll scrapes a top 60, but is in the bottom 10. Personally I don't find this particularly good, although I prefer it to Tin Machine/Maggie's Farm. Only one song having received a -1 is left now, but it isn't appearing anytime soon.

#61: Tin Machine/Maggie's Farm (Live) (as part of Tin Machine) YpfKUE4HpAs Year of release: 1989 UK Peak: #48 Chart Run: {61-48-77} (09/09/1989 - 23/09/1989) Scores: 7 (Severin), 6 (Joe.), 5 (Colm), 4 (Taylor Jago), 3 (Dandy) Average: 5 Final score: 50 After the Never let me Down album Bowie had come to realise that he’d s pent the best part of the last decade treading water and he needed to find some way to reinvigorate himself artistically and musically. The solution was Tin Machine. At times in the past Bowie had relied heavily on ideas and contributions from his band, but he had always been the leader. Now he was an equal member with his band mates and all decisions were arrived at democratically. Tin Machine’s songs were not Bowie songs and it was not a Bowie album. Musically Tin Machine were a straightforward Rock act and it has been said that they were ahead of their time. Stylistically they had more in common with the nascent Grunge scene, 80’s Alt. Rock bands like Pixies (of whom Bowie was a fan), and US Hardcore bands like Minor Threat or Husker Du than they did the hair metal that was prevalent at the time. Lyrically Tin Machine focused on Bowie social and political concerns. The song Tin Machine was the third single from the debut album (Under The God was the first) and the band took their name from the song rather than writing it as a theme song or manifesto. The UK public and press were dumbfounded by this move on Bowie’s part. Reviews were scathing and sales were poor. Many commentators have since re-evaluated their stance on the band and whilst most won’t go as far as to call them groundbreaking or ahead of the game, many have suggested that Bowie was looking forwards for the first time in years and that the albums aren’t as terrible as reviews suggested. I can't say I particularly like this song. But since I haven't got much to say about it and that this and the next song (also a Tin Machine track) have the same final score, I should use this to explain the tiebreaking system. As the next song received a 9, while the best score for this was a 7, the next song wins by having the highest highest score.

For me, the Drag Me Down is by far the worst video out of the 10 nominated. Black Magic to win!

22 of them, in fact! Yes I have actually. It's not really a necessary remix, but it's still perfectly good. With those 3 Earth, Wind & Fire tracks, probably a Viola Beach song, and still loads of Bowie, could half of next week's top 40 be posthumous?
