Where were you when Major Tom finally reached Number 1? 🚀

David Bowie released Space Oddity in 1969 and reached Number 5—but Major Tom had to wait for lift-off. Reissued in 1975, the song finally topped the UK chart and became Bowie’s first British Number 1. Six years from launch to the summit. Not bad for a song that still sounds as if it arrived from another planet. 🚀🎵 Do you remember it from the first time around? Vote below and share the memory with your fellow pop-pickers.
