David Bowie's US Hits (UK Hits Added)

[DiscoHeaven23 35,007]

David Bowie had a career that spanned decades, with hits every so often in the US. (He had much more success in other countries just like Kylie Minogue). However, his presence was always there in American culture. I thank him for embracing androgyny and being who he was. They just said on the news that Madonna was able to copy his ability to create new personas to reinvent herself. That represents what a trailblazer he was. So now let's look at David Bowie's hits in the US. The songs in bold r his top 10 hits.
