Singles

The English version contains the song "Major Tom (Coming Home)", which reached the top 15 in New Zealand[6] and the US,[7] and the top 50 in the UK.[8] The German version includes the songs "Major Tom (Völig losgelöst)", which reached the top 3 in Germany, Austria, Switzerland (all # 1)[9][10][11] and the Netherlands (reaching # 2 in the top 40),[12][13] and "Die Wüste lebt".[14] Because of his one and only entry in the US charts with "Major Tom (Völig losgelöst)", he might be considered a one-hit wonder in that same country.[15]
