Bowie isn't being snubbed. His digital release just didn't have any impact like Beyonce's did.

I see your point ......but he is technically being snubbed if he is not being credited as the first to do it.
Once again,
Beyonce had the Superbowl for promotion
Beyonce had a world wide tour
Beyonce had the pepsi commercials
Beyonce singed at the inauguration
So she had more commercial promotion than Bowie so naturally she initially would sell more but it does not change that he was the first.
I think his sells are more impressive being he had NO promotion AT ALL.
