  - Because Bowie used to live in the Top-40verse he's being unfairly judged for not charting in his later years. We can't all be Elton John pixie -- nm - rollo Jan 24, 11:31 8

        Everyone Says Hi was 2002. -- nm - David Jan 24, 11:38
- You're not wrong, Bowie hadn't done anything mainstream-relevant since 1995ish, but Blackstar was popular among music nerds and mud's points stand too -- nm - rollo Jan 24, 11:28 4
  - they're both right. Bowie had a large window from the 70's to the mid 80's where he connected to pop culture at large, then he moved to ICON status - Remlik Jan 24, 11:38 3
    - I mean, for the Lets Dance album he listened to a stack of then current chart toppers for inspiration. -- nm* - Spawn Jan 24, 12:03 1
