🔘 Starman – Single (UK) : Apr 1972

David Bowie’s Starman was released in the United Kingdom on April 28, 1972 by RCA Records (catalog RCA 2199). Backed with Suffragette City, the single introduced the Ziggy Stardust persona to the wider public and became a breakthrough moment in Bowie’s career. Starman entered the UK Singles Chart in June 1972, eventually peaking at No. 10 and spending 11 weeks on the chart. Its rise was propelled by Bowie’s now‑iconic Top of the Pops performance, which helped cement the song as a defining moment of the glam‑rock era.
