    • Historical note

    Although the entire soundtrack (save for TVC15 and Stay) is made up of songs from Bowie's Berlin years (1977–1979), the story of Christiane F. plays before that time; e.g. Christiane F. visited the 1976 show of the Station to Station tour in Berlin which was opened by the song "Station to Station". The live version included in the film and soundtrack is from the 1978 Stage tour.
