English singer-songwriter
David Bowie (1947–2016) released 26
studio albums throughout his lifetime, between 1967 and 2016. A posthumous album, Toy, which was recorded in 2000, was released in 2021.
Two years, about 15 books, numerous websites, subscriptions, and lots of time later, I have brought all of
David Bowie's studio albums to at least GA or FA. This possible topic includes all 26 of his studio albums released between 1967 and 2016, along with a posthumous album, Toy, recorded in 2000, shelved, and finally released late last year. I also brought his two studio albums with the rock band
Tin Machine (1988–1992) to GA but I did not include those here as this topic includes just his solo studio albums. Huge thanks to
Ian Rose and
87Fan for helping with two of the articles many years ago, and thanks to all the support I've received throughout this project. --– zmbro(

Support I've reviewed some of these, and read most of the others. This is a truly outstanding piece of work from Zmbro and completely deserving of good topic status.

Support: Looks like a mountain of excellent work! I've added a draft summary paragraph, which anyone else should feel free to improve on. I'll just note that it seems odd that the text repeatedly says that he released 26 studio albums, while this proposal includes 27 (with Toy); if Toy counts, then probably all the counts should be updated to 27? -

Blackstar, which came out two days before he died, is definitively considered his final album. Toy is a posthumous release that's still technically a studio album, just an addition since it was recorded entirely in 2000. But Blackstar is without a doubt his final album. – zmbro(

Support: I reviewed a few of these and have been an avid watcher of many. I have to say, these pages are not just among the best the various music WikiProjects have to offer, but are some of the best on the site as a whole. Tkbrett (✉)15:20, 29 June 2022 (UTC)reply
Support: fantastic content on a really substantial body of music. A complete, well-defined topic with no gaps and an appropriate lead list. Great work! —

Support Comments The usage of Forbes contributors and the Evening Standard is unreliable per
WP:RSP, also some sources are cited as publisher sometimes but website on others and articles sometimes never link sources once so be consistent with formatting, fix errors with ref 219 on The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, add a publisher to ref 111 on Diamond Dogs, refs 62, 67 and 70 on Tonight, refs 94, 97 and 116 on Never Let Me Down, refs 73 and 81 on Black Tie White Noise and ref 15 on Hours. Also, cite Daily News as New York Daily News since there is also a Los Angeles version and fix too many reviews in the box for Black Tie White Noise. Outside of these, congratulations on bringing so many articles together for this GT that consists of very well-written material! --

Kyle Peake How's it looking now? And WP:RSP says the evening standard is more reliable than tabloids and the articles I've used it for come across as reliable so I don't see why it couldn't be used. – zmbro(
