100 Greatest Artists: David Bowie

Bowie surprised fans on January 8th, his 66th birthday, by releasing a video of "Where Are We Now?" The song and video were unexpected announcements for The Next Day, his first album since 2003's Reality. He had been slowly working on the record in secret for two years, spending no more than a few weeks recording and subsequently taking off as much as two months in between sessions. Bowie will also release his latest single, "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)," along with "Where Are We Now?" as a special white vinyl seven-inch for Record Store Day on April 20th.

“I'm Yours”

Jason Mraz | 2008

Jason Mraz re-emerged after his disappointing second album with this lead single, a Jack Johnson-esque ditty about giving yourself fully to someone else. The success of the reggae-tinged song (it earned two Grammy nods and a spot on the Billboard singles chart for well over a year) was something the folk-pop singer never predicted when he wrote it in 15 minutes at home. "I played a happy-hippie chord progression that would probably work without 50 different Bob Marley songs," he told Rolling Stone. "I thought, 'It's too novelty. This is a nursery rhyme,'" concluding that "you can never guess what's gonna be a hit."
