January 17, 1999, 01:10, Changes, TV2, Denmark An interview with Bowie (probably the Alan Yentob 50th Birthday interview, judging by the title)

Virgin Radio, a UK national radio station, has just posted their annual "Top 500 listeners poll". The Virgin Radio Top 500 is a peoples choice / voting poll. David Bowie came in with 15 tracks (listed below) in the top 500. Here is the ranking: 499 Sorrow468 Starman 437 Suffragette City405 Space Oddity 370 Rebel Rebel 337 Golden Years303 Jean Genie268 Changes 231 Young Americans 197 Sound and Vision165 China Girl125 Modern Love081 Ashes to Ashes 036 Let's Dance020 HeroesYou can find out who the other Top 500 were by going to http://www.virginradio.com.

Niel Spencer of The Observer Life Page has done a bit of star work on David. Here is what he has to say:"Capricorns don't come more obvious than David Bowie, who fell to Earth under the sign of the ambitious mountain goat on 8 January, 1947. Astrologers explaining DB's longtime sci-fi and technological obsessions would, doubtless, point to his rising sign of freaky, modernist Aquarius. The ongoing flurry of activity in that sign lends good omens to the launch of BowieNet , his own web server, while Pluto at the apex of his chart augurs transformation."
