Reality Wins Bbc Poll On Bowie's Birthday

Welcome to Reality, Ha ha ha ha…

In a follow-up to the story below, and a perfect ending for David Bowie’s birthday, the voting has now ended in the BBC Album Of The Year poll, and Reality is the runaway winner. 2399 votes were cast in the poll, with Reality receiving a staggering 85.8% of the vote.

The votes cast for Reality went way past the 1947 we had hoped for this morning, with a final count of 2058! Proof of just how powerful the Bowie online army can be when called to arms.

Anyway, here’s the way it all looked at the close of play today:

David Bowie – Reality (2058) 85.8%
The Beatles – Let It Be…Naked (124) 5.2%
Kraftwerk – Tour De France Soundtracks (66) 2.8%
Neil Young – Greendale (65) 2.7%
Steely Dan – Everything Must Go (43) 1.8%
Paddy McAloon – I Trawl The Megahertz (25) 1.0%
Robert Palmer – Drive (18) 0.7%

I’ve updated the story below with more of the comments from fans who voted for Reality.
