Bowie Back In Billboard Top 10

It couldn’t be done without dogs…

Two Bowie-penned tunes, his own Suffragette City and Iggy Pop‘s Success, grace the Lords of Dogtown soundtrack album.

Already out in the US, the film is due for release around the globe over the next few months. You can see the breakdown of release dates on the official Lords of Dogtown site.

However, two weeks after the release of the CD, the album has gone top ten on the Billboard Top Soundtracks chart…and it’s no real surprise that it’s a popular purchase with a tracklisting like this:

01 Social Distortion – Death Or Glory
02 Nazareth – Hair Of The Dog
03 Foghat – I Just Want to Make Love to You
04 Sweet – Fox on the Run
05 Ted Nugent – Motor City Madhouse
06 Joe Walsh – Turn to Stone
07 The Allman Brothers Band – One Way Out
08 Jimi Hendrix – Fire
09 Deep Purple – Space Truckin’
10 Iggy Pop – Success
11 David Bowie – Suffragette City

12 Black Sabbath – Iron Man
13 Rise Against – Nervous Breakdown
14 T-Rex – 20th Century Boy
15 Rod Stewart – Maggie May
16 Sparklehorse – Wish You Were Here

Trivia buffs may like to know that not only does Suffragette City follow Success in the tracklisting above, but it does also in an alphabetic list of all the songs David has written or co-written. Now there’s one to impress the guests with at your next dinner party.

Thanx to BowieNetter Saxonny (Gwnavere‘s close friend) for pointing me in the direction of this compilation yonks ago. Woof woof!
