David Bowie Billboard Update: Tops US Number One Album Charts With 'Blackstar'

A lot of David Bowie fans commemorated the late David Bowie by putting him in the number one spot in the American album charts for the first time. The entry, "Blackstar," was released two days before he passed away on January 10.

His entry knocked Adele's 25 off the top spot in the chart. According to BBC, his entry in the chart is the first "posthumous" number one album in the US. The last time that it happened was when Michael Jackson's "This Is It" soundtrack reached the peak of the chart back in November of 2009.

"Changes" was his first hit on the American singles chart back in 1972. Unfortunately, the farthest it got in the chart was the 66th spot. Bowie's best selling single in the United States was "Let's Dance." The entry was able to reach the number one spot of the charts back in 1983.

In other news, The Guardian reported that astronomers gave the Starman his own constellation. Bowie's own constellation consists of seven stars that when connected together, forms the shape of the lightning bolt similar to what was painted on the legend's face.

Philippe Mollet of the MIRA Observatory said that it was "not easy" to determine the appropriate stars for Bowie.

They have chosen the stars: Sigma Librae, Spica, Alpha Virginis, Zeta Centauri, SAA 204 132, and the Beta Sigma Octantis Trianguli Australis. The said stars are all in the vicinity of Mars. They might have based it on his famous hits Starman and Life on Mars.
