Amid the celebrations for his death, not only Bowie first achieved top the list of best-selling album in the United States but also became one of the few musicians They have two albums in the top five best sellers; his greatest hits collection Best of Bowie in 2002 was ranked fourth.
Blackstar snatched the first position to 25 by fellow Adele , who led the ranking for seven weeks. The record that Bowie said goodbye to the world-the day he turned 69 years was immediately hailed by critics for its experimentalism, in which the author develops a dark jazz style.
The unexpected death David Bowie , who had kept his illness secret, gave the album Blackstar a new meaning when it was learned that the musician had intended as his last words, a contemplation on half a century of musical vanguard. The video for Lazarus particularly struck by portraying Bowie levitating a stretcher to a dark closet.
