Weekly music charts for 2016

[CRAZY-HORSE]

ok,
the Bowie album "legacy" you refer to is a double disc compilation contains 40 tracks, all singles,
is a career spanning set which starts with "space oddity" and finishes with a couple from the "blackstar" album.
I love the album cover also:



the Pink Floyd is the one Jerome mentioned the other week...
a 10cd/8 bluray/ 9 dvd/ vinyl set of their formative years...
25hrs of early live performances, 20 unreleased tracks etc etc, you get the idea, right?
cost $670 USD on Amazon or a couple of hundred Euro's on the other side of the pond..
