David Bowie has celebrated his 66th birthday by releasing a new single, Where Are We Now?, ahead of his first new album in 10 years.

The track was put on sale in the iTunes store in 119 countries on Tuesday morning and a video preview posted on his website, which has been relaunched for the occasion. His 30th studio recording, The Next Day, would be released in March, said the Iso/Columbia record company.

The glam-rock singer shot to fame in the late 60s with Space Oddity but has been largely silent in recent years, not performing live since 2006 and rarely appearing in public since then. Bowie turned down the opportunity to appear at the 2012 Olympics opening ceremony despite a personal plea by director Danny Boyle.

"Throwing shadows and avoiding the industry treadmill is very David Bowie despite his extraordinary track record that includes album sales in excess of 130m, not to mention his massive contributions in the area of art, fashion, style, sexual exploration and social commentary," said a Columbia press release.

The record, produced by long-term collaborator Tony Visconti and written by Bowie, was recorded in New York, Columbia said. The single is accompanied by a video directed by Tony Oursler that harks back to Bowie's time in Berlin. He is seen looking in on footage of the auto repair shop beneath the apartment he lived in along with stark images of the city at the time.

A spokesman said: "Throwing shadows and avoiding the industry treadmill is very David Bowie despite his extraordinary track record that includes album sales in excess of 130m not to mention his massive contributions in the area of art, fashion, style, sexual exploration and social commentary.

He added that Bowie was the sort of artist who "writes and performs what he wants when he wants".

Really? Oh my god! :amazed:

[Black Dagger]

[Ammi]

..Where are we now is beautiful....it's quite different to a lot of things he's done yet similar to some of his earlier stuff...I can't wait to hear the album....the guy's a god....:lovedup::lovedup::lovedup::lovedup:

[Doogle]

I've only listened to one of his albums and I loved it

Gonna have to get through a lot of his discography first but :amazed: for the fans this is great.

[Shaun]

:lovedup: THIS WASN'T A DREAM

-didn't just sleep from 9am 'til 3pm-

[Shaun]

it's #1 on iTunes :amazed: [the song]

[Smithy]

It won't be #1 in the charts though, it doesn't qualify b/c it's free if you preorder the album

[Shaun]

Oh, what about buying it solo? I did that, since I'd rather buy it on CD when it comes out.

[Benjamin]

It won't be #1 in the charts though, it doesn't qualify b/c it's free if you preorder the album

I thought this too. I was really happy that he would be #1 again after so long then this ooccured to me too.

Looks like Taylor will be getting her first #1. :(

[Smithy]

Oh, what about buying it solo? I did that, since I'd rather buy it on CD when it comes out.

Still doesn't count iirc

[Shaun]

Every music site seems to be going on about it as if it is legible to make the charts, though, and it's currently 6/1 on betting sites IIRC. :shrug:

[MeMyselfAndI]

I thought this too. I was really happy that he would be #1 again after so long then this ooccured to me too.

Looks like Taylor will be getting her first #1. :(

Yay :elephant:

[Benjamin]

I've just tried to seeif it's chart eligible, I can't find any info. Guess we'll have to wait until the midweeks to find out.


I wouldn't celebrate yet MMI, if Bowie is eligible he will be miles ahead of Taylor. ;)

[Shaun]

ew, will.i.am. is #2 after Bowie :bored: would rather he was beaten by IKYWT.

[Doogle]

I want S&S to miss out on #1 again just to see her fans get angry tbh, so either this or Taylor would be fine. Now I've heard this song I'd rather it was this though.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Duncan Jones @ManMadeMoon

Also, what better way to knock Taylor feckin Swift off the top of the charts! ;)

[Shaun]

salman do not start :nono:

[Me. I Am Salman]

No I mean that might be proof it will count in the charts

[Shaun]

Oh right :laugh:

[Ammi]

..is it a bit too soon to start voting for the best song/album of 2013....?....

Where are we now?
Where are we now?
The moment you know
You know, you know

Twenty thousand people
Gross Bose Brucke
Fingers are crossed
Just in case
Walking the dead

Where are we now?
Where are we now?
The moment you know
You know, you know
As long as there’s sun
As long as there’s sun
As long as there’s rain
As long as there’s rain
As long as there’s fire
As long as there’s fire
As long as there’s me
As long as there’s you

David Bowie's new single 'Where Are We Now?' won't chart on this Sunday's Official Top 40.

The track, which is currently number one on iTunes, is not chart eligible as it is also available for free when pre-ordering his forthcoming album The Next Day.

The Official Charts Company confirmed today that the track won't make the charts on Sunday as it "is linked to an album pre-order promotion".
....



the fact will.i.am will get a #1 over this http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/2095c354.gif

Album is going to be huge....

[Brother Leon]

....apparently Paddy Power has shortened the odds of a tour to 2/1...so it's looking good Stu...I might even see you there...I'll be the one with the ticket that says ..first one sold...

[Stu]

I'll be the one smelling of whiskey dressed up as a really dodgy Ziggy Stardust.

I'd still totally bum Bowie ... but he has to wear a red wig.

David Bowie's new single 'Where Are We Now?' could still chart in Sunday's Official Top 40, despite earlier reports stating it wasn't eligible.

The track, which is currently number one on iTunes, is available for free when pre-ordering his forthcoming album The Next Day. This would have prevented it from entering the chart.

However, the Official Charts Company has since said that sales of the single track do count towards the official Top 40, meaning 'Where Are We Now?' will enter if it achieves enough sales.

Their earlier statement read: "Owing to chart rules which are agreed in partnership with UK record companies and retailers, data relating to the David Bowie single 'Where Are We Now' cannot currently be counted towards the official singles charts, as the release is linked to an album pre-order promotion and it is not possible to distinguish album sales from track sales from the retail data received.

"Should it become possible in the future for regular track sales to be distinguished from album pre-order incentive purchases, then these sales can be counted towards the chart."

'Where Are We Now?' marks the singer's first new release in over a decade and shot to the top of the download chart less than a day after its surprise release yesterday.

Bowie has also seen a surge in sales of his hits collection The Best of Bowie since news of his upcoming studio LP was announced.

Lady GaGa recently praised 'Where Are We Now?' on her Twitter page, calling it "a moment of bliss".

To the surprise of just about everyone, David Bowie will release a new album, The Next Day, in March. Now, the record's producer Tony Visconti has shared some details about the sound of the album, as well as the recording process, with BBC News.

According to Visconti, The Next Day is "quite a rock album" with a mix of "classic Bowie" and "innovative Bowie," written over the past two years. He told the BBC he was surprised to see the downcast "Where Are We Now?" as the first single:

It's maybe the only track on the album that goes this much inward for him. It's quite a rock album, the rest of the songs. I thought to myself: 'Why is David coming out with this very slow, albeit beautiful, ballad? Why is he doing this? He should be coming out with a bang.' But he is a master of his own life. I think this was a very wise move, to link up the past with the future, and I think the next thing you hear from him is going to be quite different.

Visconti said that during the making of the album, Bowie was "smiling all the time, happy to be back in the studio." He said Bowie is "a very healthy man, I can assure you," countering rumors that Bowie's time away from the spotlight was due to health reasons.

:amazed:

I bought the song itself... never really preorder stuff.

[bbfan1991]

I have just listened to the song, it is very cool and refreshing from the same generic stuff that seems to get to number 1 these days!:)

[Iceman]

Charted at #9 today over here. Our charts go Friday - Friday 2 more days and i reckon it would have climbed up more.

[Iceman]

Incidentally its his highest charting single since 1986's absolute beginners.

[Iceman]

Also debuted at #9 in the netherlands....

[Shaun]

It's just charted at #6 in the UK :love: his highest since 1983's "Absolute Beginners" (which was #2). :D

David Bowie is seemingly set to release a brand new track titled 'The Stars (Are Out Tonight)' later this month.

The singer, who will release his first new album in 10 years in March, posted a message on his official Facebook page at midnight today (February 17). The post did not include any concrete release details, but instead simply listed the date '02.26.13' and the title of the song along with a new picture, which you can see at the top of the page.

Bowie shocked fans and the media alike on January 8 of this year – his 66th birthday – when he broke his decade-long musical silence by unveiling a brand new track and accompanying video, 'Where Are We Now?', and announced that a new album, titled 'The Next Day', would follow in March.

The album has been produced by Bowie's longtime collaborator Tony Visconti and will be released in the UK and most countries worldwide on March 11. Australia will get the record three days earlier on March 8, while American fans will have to wait until March 12.

David Bowie is on course to claim his first UK number one album in nearly 20 years.

The singer's comeback record The Next Day is currently leading the midweek chart with first-day sales of 56,000 copies.

Bowie is currently outselling his nearest rival - Bon Jovi's What About Now - by nearly three copies to one.

The feat would mark the first time Bowie has hit the UK album chart top spot since his 1993 collection Black Tie White Noise.

"Bowie is officially back!" said Official Charts Company Managing Director Martin Talbot.

"The Next Day is a true gift for all Bowie aficionados. It already sounds like a classic Bowie album – and its popularity this week is already showing that the great British public have taken it to their hearts."

David Bowie's wife Iman has seemingly let slip that the star is preparing to embark on a world tour.

During a new interview, the singer's spouse revealed that she will be unable to travel with him on tour as she has to look after their 12-year-old daughter Alexandria.

"We have a 12-year-old in school, so we are stuck, we can't travel," Iman told Grazia magazine.

"Our schedule is around her, so I don't know. We'll have to go visit him, but we won't be on tour with him because she's in school."

Iman's words strongly indicate Bowie is planning a number of shows to support his new album The Next Day.

The star is currently on course to claim his first UK number one album in 20 years with The Next Day.

It's a pretty flawless album, as expected.

Tilda Swinton launched the David Bowie Is exhibition at London's Victoria And Albert Museum last night (March 20).

A host of stars from the worlds of fashion, TV, film and music turned out to see the exhibition. Also in attendance at the V&A were Noel Gallagher, Bill Nighy, Doctor Who actor Matt Smith, Tracey Emin, Pam Hogg, Rosario Dawson, Kaya Scodelario, Nick Grimshaw and Pixie Geldof.

Dear Dave
When I asked you if you wanted me to say anything here tonight
You said 'Only three words, one of them testicular'
So I'll pass that on
Here I am at surely the most eclectic of all the London branches of Bowie Anonymous
All the nicest possible freaks are here
We're in the Victoria and Albert Museum preparing to rifle through your drawers
It's truly an amazing thing
This was my favourite playground as a child
Medieval armour : my fantasy space wear
And, alongside, when I was 12 - and a square sort of kid in a Round Pond sort of childhood, not far from here - I carried a copy of Aladdin Sane around with me - a full 2 years before i had the wherewithal to play it
The image of that gingery boney pinky whitey person on the cover with the liquid mercury collar bone was - for one particular young moonage daydreamer - the image of planetary kin, of a close imaginary cousin and companion of choice
It's taken me a long time to admit, even to myself, let alone you, that it was the vision and not yet the sound that
hooked me up - but if i can't confess that here and now, then when and where?
We all have our own roots
And routes
To this room
Some of us - the enviable - found the fellowship early in the funfests of Billy's Bowie Nights
or equivalent lodges from San Francisco to Aukland to Heidelberg and all points in between
For others, it was a more lonesome affair, paced out in a sort of private morse code like following bread crumbs through a forest
I'm not saying that if you hadn't pitched up I would have worn a pie crust collar and pearls like some of those I went to school with
I'm not saying that if you hadn't weighed in, Princess Julia would have been less inventive with the pink blusher
Simply that, you provided the sideways like us with such rare and out-there company
Such fellowship
You pulled us in and left your arm dangling over our necks
And kept us warm - as you have for - isn't it ? - centuries now
You were
You are
One of us
And you have remained the reliable mortal in amongst all the immortal shapes you have thrown
Nothing more certain than changes
Always with a weather eye out
Always awake and clocking the fallout
Those Mayans must have known something when they set their calendar down before
January 2013
Because, of course, now all bets are off
I know, because you told me, how tickled you were to knock Elvis - for once! - out of the headlines on your shared birthday this year
There's so much for all of us to be happy about since then
Yet, I think the thing I'm loving the most about the last few weeks
is how clear it now is - how undeniable - that the freak becomes the great unifier
The alien is the best company after all
For so many more than the few
They wanted a Bowie fan to speak tonight. They could have thrown a paper napkin and hit a hundred.
I'm the lucky one, standing up to speak for all my fellow freaks anxious to win the pub quiz and
claim their number one most super-fan tshirt
I want to give thanks to the Victoria and Albert Museum for indulging us so
For laying on our dream show
For showing us - look at their advance ticket sales - that , as is
written along the bottom of this months Q magazine,
'why we all live in David's world now'
To Gucci and Sennheiser for putting up the cash, laying on the sound and vision
To Geoffrey and Victoria for curating an entire universe so beautifully, on behalf of us all
When I think of what it used to feel like once
To be a freak who liked you
To feel like a freak like you
- a freak who even looked a little like you
And then I think of the countless people of every size and feather who are going to walk through this trace of your journey here and pick up the breadcrumbs
in the great hub of this mothership over these Spring and Summer months..
And how familiar and stamped you are into ALL of our our collective DNA
I'm just plain proud
So
Where are we now?
Well
I know you aren't here tonight, but
Somehow, no matter
We are -
And you brought us out of the wainscotting like so many
Freaky old bastards
Like so many fan boys and girls
Like so many loners and pretty things and dandies and dudes and dukes and duckies and testicular types
And pulled us together
Together
By you
Dave Jones
Our not so absent, not so invisible, friend
Every alien's favourite cousin
Certainly mine
We have a nice life
Yours aye
Tilly

[Iceman]

just gonna say it.

**** bon jovi, dumb americans. I shall be buying the album in the morning. (will count towards next weeks irish charts)

[Ammi]

Does that mean they actually shot themselves in the head?

..well maybe they should do that..(..don't mean that..I'm not Australianist or anything..)..but really..?...Bowie v Bon Jovi..where is their music taste..what on earth..??....

[Shaun]

meh, #1 in 11 countries (UK, Ireland, New Zealand, Germany, Belgium, Czech Republic, Sweden, Switzerland, Finland, Netherlands and Croatia) and the highest chart position in the US... and with no promotion either... I'm happy enough :p but Bon Jovi though :yuk: such a boring, meaningless band.

The cover shot for Aladdin Sane, designed by Brian Duffy and Celia Philo and with make-up by Pierre La Roche. The hotly anticipated retrospective into the music legend's career opened this weekend.

Next week, David Bowie will release an expanded edition of his surprise 2013 album, The Next Day—he shared a video for its James Murphy remix today—but that's not all. As Vogue reports, Bowie is also featured in a new ad campaign and correlating short film from French fashion brand Louis Vuitton. A selection of images, shot by David Sims, are available to see here.
