Bowie Bowie Bowie Everywhere (EP24)

Our listeners in the UK might conclude that David Bowie had five Number One hit singles.  Meanwhile, our listeners in the US will say that Bowie had just two Number Ones.  However, here at Derringer Discoveries, we cater to the entire world and worldwide, Bowie had 11 Number One hit singles while he was living and one more Number One hit single posthumously.

Listen up as two of The Derringer Brothers - Alton and Paul - discuss and play snippets from all of Bowie's Number One hits from around the world while covering his "classic period" from 1969 to 1986.  Does Bowie Jump the Shark or Cross the Rubicon?  Stay to the end and discover Alton's shocking revelation.

Bowie's sole posthumous Number One hit from 2016 is just one of many mind-blowing discussion points raised by Alton and Paul during this episode.  For example, Radio Three Chart (LP3) is the oldest and longest-running music chart in Poland.  On a weekly basis, Marek and Piotr - Polskie Radio's alternating hosts - countdown Warsaw, Poland's top hit singles.  Marek and Piotr, along with their dedicated listeners, are the ones who decided to give Bowie his 12th Number One hit single!  Kudos to LP3!

But, what does LP3 have to do with Derringer Discoveries?  Well, in keeping with the LP3 spirit and perhaps off-their-rockers, in this episode, Derringer Discoveries officially unveils The Turnip Music Radio (TMR) Top 25.

During the inaugural month of October 2021, the first TMR Number One hit single was Harder Than It Should Be by the New Haven, Connecticut duo Goodnight Moonshine.

Today's Post-Episode Playout (i.e., Bonus) features an interview with an impressive, wonderfully-melodic band from Detroit Michigan called The Legal Matters.
