Error in the System
Error in the System is the English-language debut album by German singer-songwriter Peter Schilling, and is the counterpart to the German-language album Fehler im System, released through Elektra Records on 24 March 1983. The English and German versions have been combined and sold as a single box set in several parts of the world.
Singles
The English version contains the song "Major Tom ", 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 ", which reached number one in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and number two on the Dutch Top 40, as well as "Die Wüste lebt". Because "Major Tom " was his one and only entry into the top 40 on the US charts, he is generally considered a one-hit wonder in that country.Track listings
