    Singles

    The English version contains the song "Major Tom (Coming Home)", which reached the top 15 in New Zealand and the US, and the top 50 in the UK. The German version includes the songs "Major Tom (Völlig losgelöst)", which reached the top 3 in Germany, Austria, Switzerland (all # 1) and the Netherlands (reaching # 2 in the top 40), and "Die Wüste lebt". Because of his one and only entry into the top 40 on the US charts with "Major Tom (Coming Home)", he is generally considered a one-hit wonder in that country.
