ChangesTwoBowie, released in 1981, was a David Bowie compilation album issued by RCA Records. Its title and packaging followed the format of RCA's first Bowie compilation, ChangesOneBowie in 1976. As well as post-1976 singles, the album collected songs from earlier in Bowie's career that had not appeared on ChangesOne. However it did not repeat the chart success of the earlier compilation, reaching #27 in the UK charts and #68 in the United States.
