David Bowie, the 66-year-old rocker who released his first song in a decade this week, is on top of the music world again -- at least on iTunes. His forthcoming The Next Day album has already claimed the top spot on 17 countries' iTunes Store Top 10 Albums charts.
The album is number one Wednesday in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.
The Next Day, which is scheduled for a March 12 release, is also in the top 10 lists in 5 other countries: the United States, Australia, Japan, New Zealand and Norway.
Apple publicly releases iTunes rankings for 22 countries, so Bowie is on every top 10 list.
Bowie's new song, "Where Are We Now?", tops the singles charts in 8 countries.
