The discography of English singer-songwriter David Bowie (1947–2016) consists of 26 studio albums (including nine UK number-one albums), 21 live albums, 46 compilation albums (including two UK number-one albums), 10 extended plays (EPs), 128 singles (including five UK number-one singles), 4 soundtracks and 12 box sets. Bowie also released 28 video albums and 72 music videos.[1]
Bowie's debut release was the 1964 single "Liza Jane" by Davie Jones & the King Bees. He released two more singles in 1965 under the names of The Manish Boys and Davy Jones & the Lower Third. His first release using the name David Bowie was the 1966 single "Can't Help Thinking About Me", which was released with The Lower Third. Bowie's next single, "Do Anything You Say", also released in 1966, was the first release by simply David Bowie. Bowie released four more singles and his debut album, David Bowie, but the first success in the United Kingdom was with the 1969 single "Space Oddity". The single reached number five on the UK Singles Chart after it was released five days before the Apollo 11 moon mission.[2] In 1975 the single was re-released: it became the first of Bowie's number-one singles on the UK Singles Chart.
Bowie released three more albums – David Bowie (1969), The Man Who Sold the World (1970) and Hunky Dory (1971) – before he eventually made it on to the UK Albums Chart with The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972), which peaked at number five. Following the success of Ziggy Stardust, sales of Hunky Dory improved and it eventually peaked at number three in the UK in 1973. RCA re-released the 1969 David Bowie under the title Space Oddity and The Man Who Sold the World, which reached numbers 17 and 26 in the UK respectively (but the last one reached number 21 after Bowie's death in 2016).
Bowie released nine more studio albums with RCA, all of which reached the top five of the UK Albums Chart, of which Aladdin Sane (1973), Pin Ups (1973), Diamond Dogs (1974) and Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) (1980) reached the number one position. His 1975 RCA album "Young Americans" included his first number-one US single "Fame",[3] which was co-written by John Lennon—who also performed on the album—and Carlos Alomar. He then released three solo studio albums with EMI – Let's Dance (1983), whose title track became his first single to reach number one in both the United Kingdom and the United States, Tonight (1984) and Never Let Me Down (1987). Let's Dance and Tonight reached number one on the UK Albums Chart, while Never Let Me Down reached number six. The success of Let's Dance revitalized Bowie's back catalogue: throughout the summer of 1983, he had multiple albums on the UK Albums Chart. This peaked on 16 July that year, with ten entries – a figure bettered only by Elvis Presley.[4]
In 1989, Bowie created the rock group Tin Machine, who released a self-titled album with EMI. Although Tin Machine reached number three on the UK Albums Chart, it did not sell well and Bowie and EMI did not renew their contract.[5] Tin Machine II followed in 1991 on London Records and, only reaching number 23 in the UK, was Bowie's worst-charting album since the 1973 re-release of The Man Who Sold the World. Continuing as a solo artist, Bowie's next album, Black Tie White Noise (1993), reached the number one position on the UK Albums Chart. Bowie released a further seven studio albums, all of which have reached the top ten in the UK. Released after a ten-year hiatus, The Next Day (2013) was Bowie's first UK chart-topping album since Black Tie White Noise (1993). Bowie released his final album, Blackstar on 8 January 2016, his 69th birthday and two days before his death on 10 January. The album debuted at number one in the UK and became Bowie's first album to reach number one on the Billboard 200 in the US and went gold.[6]
David Bowie has sold 140 million albums during his life. In 2012, Bowie was ranked ninth best selling singles artist in United Kingdom with 10.6 million singles sold.[7] As of January 2016, Bowie has sold 12.09 million singles in Britain.[8] In a period of 24 months since his death 5 million records were sold in UK, 3.1 million singles and 2 million albums.[9]

- ^ The "John, I'm Only Dancing" video was made for BBC's Top of the Pops to be shown while Bowie was away touring in the USA. However, it went unboradcast. Reasons include the sexual nature of some of the images in the video, and that – given this was the earliest days of the music video – Bowie's manager Tony Defries wanted to charge the BBC what they saw as exorbitant fee.[160]
- ^ This release of "Space Oddity" in January 1973 was primarily focused at the US, where it gained Bowie his first hit. The single was not released in the UK. It was however released in a few other territories: Canada, Spain, Australia, Mexico, Puru and Japan.
- ^ "Life on Mars?" was released in the UK and a limited number of other territories. It was not released in the US / North America.
- ^ There is also another rough cut version of the "'Heroes'" music video, sometimes known as the 'alternative take' or – more accurately, 'take 1'. 'The "'Heroes'" promo outtakes reel is just under 28 minutes long. It contains one complete take, and 8 partial takes of "Heroes" [...] The official promo for "'Heroes'" utilizes sections from most of the takes, in long cross dissolves. The only complete take of "'Heroes'", Take 1, was barely used – all that was included was the 10 seconds of "I would be king, and you, you would be queen" [...] The complete Take 1 [...] includes many full-face close-ups of Bowie [... and] was largely unused due to the fact that Bowie's miming in it was not very accurate [...] since the promo was for immediate use – we see it included on the "L'Altra Domenica" show a few days later – perhaps there was no time for a very sophisticated edit.' As this source notes regarding the tape: 'In addition, there are a couple of takes of about 30 seconds of "Blackout". And about 3 minutes of close-ups of Bowie slowly bringing his hand to his face, mimicking the "Heroes" album cover whilst "Sense of Doubt" plays in the background. It seems there was no intention of creating promos for the latter two songs; the footage was merely to be used in the two TV commercials for the "Heroes" album.'[162][163]
