Changesbowie is a compilation album by David Bowie, released in 1990 in the U.S. by Rykodisc and by EMI in the UK as part of Rykodisc's Bowie remastering program, to replace ChangesOneBowie. A double vinyl version, released simultaneously, added, in addition, "Starman" (following "Space Oddity"), "Life on Mars?" (following "The Jean Genie"), and "Sound and Vision" (following "Golden Years").

While the cover artwork was generally dismissed as amateurish ("a sixth-form cut 'n' paste collage", according to author David Buckley)[1] the collection made #1 in the UK, giving Bowie his first chart-topping album since Tonight in 1984.
