  1. So sad about Viola Beach :( Swings and Waterslides is really good aswell :(
  2. #62: Baal (EP) GF1b1zNNf0w Year of release: 1982 UK Peak: #29 Chart Run: {49-29-33-31-46} (06/03/1982 - 03/04/1982) Scores: 7 (Joe.), 6 (Severin, Acidburn, Taylor Jago), 5 (Colm), 4 (richie), 3 (popchartfreak), 2 (Dandy) Average: 4.875 Final score: 48.75 In 1981 David Bowie has been involved in a BBC version of Bertolt Brecht’s play, Baal. Written in 1918 it was the story of a young German man who indulges in numerous sexual escapades and a single murder. The play includes a number of songs which were translated in English and performed for the BBC version by Bowie, who also acted in the title role. Of the five tracks on the EP it was The Drowned Girl that was single out for promoting the release. A performance of the song was recorded at the same time as the video for previous single; Wild Is The Wind was made. The EP and play were both well received, with the single making an impressive #29 in the charts, considering the unconventional nature of the music. It was also Bowie’s final release o new material on the RCA label with which he’d been since 1971 I can't say I particularly like this, but it's decent enough.
  3. #63: Survive (from Hours...) HO7FTtX73GE Year of release: 2000 UK Peak: #28 Chart Run: {28-59} (05/02/2000 - 12/02/2000) Scores: 8 (Taylor Jago), 6 (Severin), 5 (Joe., Colm), 4 (Acidburn), 3 (popchartfreak, Dandy) Average: 4.85 Final score: 48.57 Survive was the 2nd single from the album and came out in remixed format. Marius De Vries was given the honour. The song concerns the musings of a man who accidentally meets up with an old friend or colleague. The man reflects on how they could have been something more if he’d just made the effort and not lived in a dream world. They both know it but she sees him as someone incapable of living in reality. He’s nothing but deluded. He knows how she sees him but remains defiant, repeating how he’ll survive her derision but as the song goes on he becomes less and less convinced. I quite like this, although it's definitely not the best thing Bowie has done. But it's enjoyable, and there are some tracks which I find inferior later on.
  4. Where Are U Now is still awful. :puke2: Locked Out Of Heaven is really good though.

    Fantastic! Jar of Hearts is a great song and fully deserves the achievement!
  6. Fantastic! You can also buy as many CDs of it as you want on Amazon (although having 20 physical copies of the same song is a bit much). Now we need to rally 7,000 people to push it the top 10!
  7. Love Me Again and Can't Hold Us are both great :wub: Sugar is good aswell.
  8. Farrah Abraham is a disgusting person, I've pretty much eschewed this series because of her. Absolutely vile.
  9. Hold My Hand :wub: :heart: Also like A Moment Like This.

  13. David Bowie remains at number one A month after his death, David Bowie's occupation of the chart isn't loosening much. While for the first time in five weeks he doesn't have half the top 10, he has still 15 tracks in the top 40 and 22 tracks in the top 100. Ashes To Ashes remains at number one for a fourth week. Its video features many artists from the new wave genre, including Steve Strange, who died exactly a year ago of a heart attack aged 55. He was the lead singer of Visage, who charted last year with Fade To Grey. Hymn For The Weekend moves up a place to #2. The track is set to make big waves in the official chart in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, following the death of vocalist Maurice White a week ago, three Earth, Wind & Fire tracks are in the top 10. Boogie Wonderland climbs 11 places to #3, Let's Groove jumps 16 places to #6 and September vaults 26 places to #8. Zara Larsson slides two places to #4 with Lush Life. It spends its tenth week in the top 10. Meanwhile, Secret Love Song remains static at #5 in its thirteenth week in the top 10. It subsequently matches the top 10 total for Black Magic, and is only three weeks off of the top 10 total of Love Me Like You. The rest of the top 10 is entirely Bowie: Absolute Beginners slides three places to #7, Lazarus moves down 2 places to #9 and Heroes falls four places to #10. Other notable tracks Lukas Graham enter the chart at #26 with 7 Years. The track is currently #1 in the UK. Can it make it there in this chart? Following the release of All I Need, If You Leave Me Now rebounds 8 places to #22, Body Talk rockets 62 paces to #33, Cruel enters at #51 and Better Love re-enters at #86. When We Were Young is at #57 and looks set to climb in the following weeks. Alessia Cara enters at #74 with Here and the final new entry is from ZAYN with PILLOWTALK at #93. Two songs climb into the top 40: One Call Away, which climbs 13 places to #31, and Cheap Thrills, which jumps 34 places to #39.

  15. I was joking.
  16. Hall Of Fame, Domino, Run, Hey Brother, On The Floor and I'm Not The Only One are all great!
  17. I really don't know what to go for. Also, Dan Gerson, screenwriter of Monsters Inc., Monsters University and Big Hero 6 has died of brain cancer aged 49 on Saturday :(
  18. #64: Arnold Layne (with David Gilmour) nk2tY1w4kTk Year of release: 2006 UK Peak: #19 Chart Run: {19-47-74} Scores: 7 (Acidburn), 6 (popchartfreak, Severin), 5 (Colm), 4 (Taylor Jago), 3 (Joe.), 2 (Dandy) Average: 4.71 Final score: 47.12 In 2003 Bowie had effectively retired from recording and touring following his ill health. However, he occasionally popped up to perform guest vocals at other people’s shows. Arcade Fire’s version of Life On Mars? Is a particular highlight. During the former Pink Floyd guitarist’s On An Island shows Bowie did just that, for a version of the old Syd Barrett era classic Arnold Layne. The song is about a transvestite who steals women’s clothes from washing lines. It would be the 2nd time Bowie had covered a Syd Barrett era Floyd single – See Emily Play appeared on Pin Ups. At #64 we have not one, but two Davids, on this cover on Pink Floyd's Arnold Wayne, which actually outpeaked the original by one place, before plunging down the chart. Again, I'm not really a fan of this, and I'd say this is a good placing for it.
  19. #65: Knock On Wood Pf8KTeobuiM Year of release: 1974 UK Peak: #10 Chart Run: {20-17-10-16-25-42} Scores: 7 (Severin, Acidburn), 6 (Joe.), 4 (richie, Colm), 3.5 (Taylor Jago), 1 (popchartfreak, Dandy) Average: 4.1875 Final score: 41.875 Recorded during the first leg of the Diamond Dogs tour and taken from his first live album, this cover of Eddie Floyd’s 60s Soul hit would give another hint to Bowie’s upcoming ‘plastic soul’ direction. Despite the singles relative success, reaction to the album was generally negative. Many of the songs had been significantly rearranged and the vocal performance was weak Mick Jagger referred to Knock On Wood as awful, and suggested that if the Stones got reviews that bad they might never record again. Bowie himself has criticised much of the album and particularly the cover photograph, stating ‘...it looks like I’ve just stepped out of the grave. That’s actually how I felt. That record should have been called 'David Bowie Is Alive and Well and Living Only in Theory'" And another song which really isn't very good. How this made the top 10 when much better songs in his discography failed to do so is really annoying. This is just really uninteresting and it definitely deserves its low placing. Although I do think awful might be a bit too harsh (and who's Mick Jagger to criticise anyway? he was involved in T.H.E.)
  20. #66: Alabama Song Zc_9EpooJ2o Year of release: 1980 UK Peak: #23 Chart Run: {23-26-24-33-44} (01/03/1980 - 29/03/1980) Scores: 9 (Fgiboy2511), 8 (Joe.), 7 (Acidburn), 5 (popchartfreak), 4 (Severin), 3 (Colm), 0 (richie, dandy) -1 (Taylor Jago) Average: 3.89 Final score: 38.89 Bowie’s cover of Bertolt Brecht’s Alabama Song is one of his more unusual single choices. The song had been a frequent appearance on his recent tours, generally being well received and so during a break in schedule the decision was made to book studio time and cut a version for single release. The decision was also made, in part to fulfil his contract with RCA, with whom Bowie was becoming increasingly disillusioned. Surprisingly, the single achieved a respectable #23 on the UK single charts, in part due to a stripped back re-recording of Space Oddity which was listed on the front cover almost as a double A-side would be. The single although released in 1980 is often seen as the final statement from ‘70’s Bowie’, as it was recorded in 1978 prior to the Lodger album. Well this is rather bad I'd say. With terrible key changes, I feel as if this was only ever made and released in order for Bowie to end his contract with RCA as quickly as possible.
  21. #67: The Laughing Gnome 5SQdBxVjZx4 Year of release: 1967 UK Peak: #6 Chart Run: {42-25-14-8-6-6-8-11-21-28-37-49} (15/07/1973 - 01/12/1973) Scores: 8 (richie), 6 (Acidburn, Joe.), 5 (popchartfreak, Severin), 2 (Colm), 0 (dandy.), -1 (Taylor Jago) Average: 3.875 Final score: 38.75 The Laughing Gnome was Bowie’s 4th solo single and hails from his so-called ‘Anthony Newley phase’. In 1966-7 the aforementioned singer was a significant influence on Bowie’s work, and this novelty pop single is the only Bowie song from that era to chart. It did so, only when re-issued in 1973 following the massive success of the Ziggy Stardust album. Bowie had largely viewed it as an embarrassment but when he began preparations for his 1990 Sound + Vision tour he conceived the idea of fans voting by phone to decide which songs he would play. The NME ran a campaign urging readers to nominate the song and Bowie later admitted he was considering a Velvet Underground style version before he discovered the paper’s plan and scrapped the voting system. Alright, I lied when I said you wouldn't need any -1s. But I hadn't heard this rubbish at the time, you know. Anyway, it originally (deservedly) flopped, but a re-release in 1973 saw it reach #6 in the UK chart. It was re-released again in 1982, but this time the record buying public had more sense weren't interested and it failed to chart.
  22. Worth It is absolutely dreadful. :puke2: I do hope I never have to hear of them again after that.
  23. #14: Heathen {2002} Votes: 3 Percentage: 37.50% And so, in a single elimination we see Heathen eliminated. It was Bowie's first 21st century album, and its concept was influenced by the 9/11 attacks. There were also three covers; Cactus, I've Been Waiting For You and I Took A Trip On A Gemini Spaceship; the latter two had been intended for a Pin Ups 2 album which never came to fruition. #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% Vote for your least favourite and the two albums with the least votes will be eliminated (except in the event of a tie for second). The vote closes on Friday evening.
  24. Shine missed number one simply because some people can't differentiate a Z from a B. One of my favourites tracks of 2015. Why is it so low?
  25. #68: Dancing In The Street (with Mick Jagger) 9G4jnaznUoQ Year of release: 1985 UK Peak: #1 Chart Run: {1-1-1-1-3-7-13-21-30-42-53-74-x3-97-x-84-86} (07/09/1985 - 11/01/1986) Scores: 9.5 (Joe.), 8 (Taylor Jago), 6 (Severin), 4 (popchartfreak), 3 (Acidburn, Colm), 2 (AH Gold, Fgiboy2511), 1 (richie), -1 (Dandy) Average: 3.75 Final score: 37.5 Originally conceived as a live duet for the Live Aid concerts, with Bowie performing his half in London and Mick Jagger live from Philadelphia the idea had to be scrapped when it was noted that the half-second delay would make it impossible. Neither was willing to mime their parts and so the decision was made to show it as a video simultaneously in both stadiums. Whilst Bowie wasin London recording Absolute Beginners (and some great impressions that can be found on youtube) Jagger came by the studio and a rough mix was completed in four hours. The pair then headed out to London Docklands to film the video. The filming was completed just before dawn almost thirteen hours after work on the song began. Minor musical overdubs were completed in New York. The video was shown twice at Live Aid and the song hit UK #1 and US #7. All proceeds went to the Live Aid charity. Is this half as good as any of the four other Bowie number ones? No. But is it really worse than the likes of Alabama Song, The Laughing Gnome and Knock On Wood? It's not great, it's not worthy of being a four-week number one, but it's a fun track and the video is really good aswell.
