Nothing Has Changed (also titled Nothing Has Changed: The Very Best of David Bowie)[1] is a compilation album by English musician David Bowie. It was released on 18 November 2014 through Parlophone in the United Kingdom, and Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings in the United States. It is the first album to showcase Bowie's entire career and includes a new composition, "Sue (Or in a Season of Crime)", which was later re-recorded for his final album Blackstar (stylized as ★) (2016). Nothing Has Changed is notable for including songs from Bowie's unreleased 2001 album Toy: "Your Turn to Drive", previously an internet-only single, and a previously unreleased re-recorded version of "Let Me Sleep Beside You",[2] both of which are found on the triple CD version of the album. The album's title comes from a lyric in the song "Sunday" from Bowie's album Heathen (2002).[3]
The album was released in four formats: a triple CD version (sequenced in reverse chronological order), a double CD version (sequenced in chronological order), a double LP version,[4] and a single CD version released exclusive to select countries.[5][6] It should be noted that the track listed as "Fashion (single version)" is not in fact the original single edit and has been incorrectly re-edited from the remastered album version of "Fashion". The original single edit can be heard on the compilations Best of Bowie, The Platinum Collection and The Best of David Bowie 1980/1987.
The album debuted at number 9 in the United Kingdom, becoming Bowie's 29th top 10 album, going on to peak at number 5 following Bowie's death in early 2016. It has been certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for sales of over 100,000.
A revised version of the two-disc Nothing Has Changed, re-titled Bowie Legacy, was released on 11 November 2016[7] [8] and includes selections from Blackstar.[n 1]
Background
On 9 September 2014, an announcement was posted on Bowie's website and Facebook page: "It is with much pleasure that we can exclusively announce a career-spanning collection of Bowie’s music covering fifty years of recorded works from his 1964 debut, Liza Jane, through to a brand new recording made this year. Nothing Has Changed (named after a lyric from the Heathen album opener 'Sunday') compiles tracks from every period of Bowie's career and features new single; "Sue (Or in a Season of Crime)", which was specially recorded for the compilation with long-term collaborator Tony Visconti."[9]
Nothing Has Changed entered the official UK Albums Chart at number 9 upon its release, becoming Bowie's 29th UK Top 10 album,[10] although it quickly fell out ot the Top 30.[11] Despite having four more separate successive runs in the Top 100 during 2015, it never got any higher than number 40.[11]
On 15 January 2016, the album re-entered the chart at a new peak of number 5, after the news of Bowie's death earlier that week.[12] Two weeks later, Nothing Has Changed remained at number 5 on 29 January, in a week which saw four other Bowie albums in the top 10, making him the first artist to achieve five simultaneous UK top 10 albums since Michael Jackson, who achieved six in July 2009 after his own death,[13] and a total of twelve in the top 40. This meant he equalled the record set by Elvis Presley after his death in 1977.[13] Nothing Has Changed also gained new peaks worldwide in countries where it had never made the top 10, rising to number 1 in New Zealand (where it spent 4 weeks), number 3 in Australia, number 4 in Austria and Germany, and number 5 in Switzerland. It also rose into the top 10 in Belgium, Hungary, Italy and the Netherlands.
