>OP thinks sales indicate quality

At least Bowie's family is well off

He raped a 13 year old girl.

>>61826195
It was consensual.

>>61826195
>he hasn't raped a 13 year old girl
Are you gay?

>>61826286
this album is not complex and it is not selling based on its musical merits.

>>61826149
>what's the single even?
Blackstar and Lazarus

Fuck, I really wanted this album to not hit mainstream, especially since it's way less poppy than the stuff most people know, but now I really need to take some time off to think about the fact that there's people out there who has the same complex music taste as me but don't browse this board daily nor have ever done it

>>61826337

Bowie defines pop.

I wonder if this will help shake off the stigma that older artists in their 60s and 70s are "washed up" and dismissable. Maybe now people will start expecting higher quality from the "elder statesmen" still putting out work.

>>61826220
lmao

>>61826195
she LITERALLY asked for it

Several iTunes reviews of this album pre-his death literally said "this is terrible but I like Bowie so I'll give him an extra star. 2/5"

>>61826773
>iTunes
There's your problem m8

>>61826117
that photo is fucking amazing

>>61826117
Does anyone have an updated Flowchart?
We'll sure need it when normies ask us Who David Bowie is?

Do you think Bowie faked his death and now he has grown a beard and will live out the rest of his life out in the middle of nowhere away from everyone

>>61827563
no

fuck ageism

>>61826337
definition of a hipster, just awful

Liking David Bowie is as pleb as you can get.

Listen to some good glam rock, or even avant-garde

>>61828028
I think they're all solid.

>>61828492
>must be shit because he's old and white!

Wow this was really his first #1?
Can't be an international hit for nothing!

>>61826117
It's literally only 1 because he died

>>61828758

Unfortunately Bowie was always hamstrung by edgelord critics shitting on him and record execs being tight with the promo bux. Bowie was a huge megastar in spite of the industry.

>>61826195
First and foremost, she was 15, which is an age below the age of consent of his homeland.

>it took over 50 years of putting out music for Bowie to reach #1 in the USA

Fuck this gay earth.

Bowie was too good for the age of the millennials.

Music charts are the realm of the goldfish-minded pleb. Bowie was above and beyond the "flash in the pan" of the mainstream mind.

Most of the people who bought it are just gonna go:
>what a weird album, doesn't sound line ziggy / let's dance at all.
And put it in their cd shelf as a trophy. You know it to be true.

>>61826117
>tfw I can't get into blackstar

I don't mind some of the tracks, but I'm not feeling it as much as his older stuff

>>61831018

Bowie's always done that. Ziggy fans would have bought Aladdin Sane because it literally has a picture of Ziggy on the front, and thought WTF when they heard Aladdin Sane the song. Then he fed them Diamond Dogs, then Young Americans picked up a new crowd who he fed Low.

Don't forget he stuck a showtunes album in between TMWSTW and Ziggy. Regardless, the plebs learn to love what Bowie force-fed them.

I'm really surprised this is his first #1 album in the US considering he's one of the most popular artists ever.

Is Bowie dying the ultimate snub to the american plebs and their shitty billboard chart? Like the album launched and shot straight to the top of digital charts which was good enough for him and he was all like "fuck billboard whatever man" and died. That's how much he gave zero fucks about the billboard plebchart.

While I'm happy it finally happened.

It took 40 years.

40 years.

You suck America.

>>61831619
Americans were to homophobic to listen to him in the 70s.

>>61831777
oh shit man damn
nice trips btw

I'm just glad that he lived to see this final project land the way he intended it. While we were enjoying this album, he was living his final days and I hope that the fan feedback gave him ease in his final moments. :'3 <3
