David Bowie's 15th and most commercially successful studio album, 'Let's Dance' turns 40 on April 14, 2023.
David Bowie's 15th and most commercially successful studio album,"Let's Dance" turns 40 on April 14, 2023.
Bowie was known in the U.S. but not as commercially successful as his contemporaries. 1980's"Scary Monsters " might have seen some radio play for"Fashion", but even nowadays to call Bowie a radio artist is selling the majority of his recordings short. That brings us to"Let's Dance". Teaming up with Nile Rodgers Bowie would enter the oversaturated market of '80's pop with some heavy hitters. Probably the most iconic song on the album is the titular song."Let's Dance" is a simple jam lacking much of the lyrical intrigue of past Bowie songs. But it's a track that's romantic and easy to dance to.
Despite the album being a contentious one in the Bowie fandom and the start of what might be called his Phil Collins phase , it's Bowie's best seller, moving over 10 million copies and going Platinum. And whether a fan of Bowie or not, you likely know some of the songs on the album through continued radio play to this day.
