What do David Bowie, Public Enemy, KISS and The Who have in common? Well, probably a few things, but MTV points to the fact that none of them have landed the #1 spot on Billboard's Top 200. Other big names in the not #1 club are Tom Petty, Duran Duran, Neil Diamond, Ozzy Osbourne, The Cure, Motörhead and The Smiths.

David Bowie: The Thin White Duke has accomplished much in a career that spans more than 40 years, including countless #1 albums in the U.K., yet the top spot on the Billboard albums chart has continued to elude him. He's come close in the past: 1976's Station to Station made it to #3, and '83's Let's Dance got to #4 based on the strength of the title track (which made it to #1 on the singles chart). The following year, his Tonight album peaked at #11 '' and he hasn't made it higher since.
