It was Bowie's first album of new material in ten years, since 2003's "Reality", and surprised fans and media who had presumed that he had retired from the music business. The album was streamed in its entirety on iTunes days before its official release. "The Next Day Extra", an additional disc featuring four more tracks, and remixes of songs from the original album, was released in November. "The Next Day" was met with critical acclaim, and earned Bowie his first number-one album in the United Kingdom since 1993's "Black Tie White Noise". It was ranked as the second best album of 2013 (in a tie with Blue October's "Sway") by German music magazine "" and was also nominated for the 2013 Mercury Prize. The album was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2014 Grammy Awards and for MasterCard British Album of the Year at the 2014 Brit Awards.
