Bowie is more than capable of getting in the top 10, nevermind the top 20.
If he ever gets around to releasing a proper single.

Gary Numans "Crazier" reached No.13, yes, but it had a promo video which helped a lot and got considerable airplay on stations like Kerrang!, Q and The Amp.
Which might help him reach more of his target audience but that's not really very much support when you think about it. Every little bit helps, of course, but I think a lot of its success is attributable to hardcore fans voting for it via Kerrang's phone-in and then rushing out to buy it during the first week or preordering online. Also, it was in three parts, so its sales were probably inflated in comparison with other available releases.
