  1. "Sue (Or in a Season of Crime)"
    Released: 17 November 2014

Nothing Has Changed 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 ★ (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",[1] all 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).[2]

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,[3] and a single CD version released exclusive to select countries.[4][5] 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. It has been certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for sales of over 100,000.

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."[6]

Chart performance

Nothing Has Changed entered the official UK Albums Chart at number 9 upon its release, becoming Bowie's 29th UK Top 10 album,[7] although it quickly fell out ot the Top 30.[8] Despite having four more separate successive runs in the Top 100 during 2015, it never got any higher than number 40.[8]

In 2016, the album reached a new peak of number 5 after the news of Bowie's death,[9] in a week which saw four other Bowie albums in the top 10 and a further seven in the top 40.[10] 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, 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.
