Ashes to Ashes (David Bowie song)
- ... that the music video for David Bowie's "Ashes to Ashes" was, at a cost of £250,000, the most expensive made at the time? Source: Buckley, David (2005) [1999]. Strange Fascination – David Bowie: The Definitive Story. London: Virgin Books. ISBN 978-0-75351-002-5. pp. 316–317

Length and promotion date verified; however the Rolling Stone article cited as the source only supports the budget figure and says nothing about it being the most expensive video ever made at the time.Also, you don't need to repeat the phrase "music video", so I edited the hook appropriately.

- Daniel Case, Ah that's on me. I forgot it didn't (but I should've known better based on its placement in the prose). I've replaced it with a book source that I know for a fact gives both the budget and the most expensive claim. – zmbro (talk) (cont) 20:01, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
Accepted in GF. Just one more thing ... since the hook fact is stated in the intro, could you put the cite there as well? (At least through the time it's on the Main Page) Daniel Case (talk) 03:47, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
