The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (Music)	comment	The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (often shortened to Ziggy Stardust or even just Ziggy) is the fifth studio album by David Bowie, released in 1972 through RCA Records. "Ziggy Stardust", "Starman", "Suffragette City" and "Rock 'N' Roll Suicide" were big international hits at the time.Conceived after the songs were already finished, the ambiguous story of this Concept Album revolves around Ziggy Stardust, a bisexual rock star (either from space or Touched by Vorlons) who rises to stardom in a time when Earth is on its last legs and its people need hope. However, he succumbs to the hedonistic lifestyle that comes with fame, and it's his own fans who are responsible for his death. Ironically, Bowie himself nearly fell into the same trap, as "Ziggy Stardust" became such a global phenomenon that he did everything to distance himself from the "Ziggy" character, in essence reinventing himself each album.The album was a major commercial success in Bowie's native UK, peaking at No. 5 on the UK Albums chart, being certified double-platinum by the British Phonographic Industry, and marking Bowie's true Breakthrough Hit in the British mainstream. The album was less successful in the United States despite favorable critical reviews, peaking at a much more modest No. 75 on the Billboard 200, though it was eventually certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America two years after its release; the album was also certified gold in Italy. It did however see belated American success following Bowie's death in 2016, peaking two years later at both No. 3 on Billboard's Top Catalog Albums charts and No. 21 on the mainline 200.As has apparently become standard practice by this point, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars was supported by two singles: "Starman" and "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide". The former was recorded specifically with the intent of being a hit single, at the request of RCA Records; the song ended up replacing a cover of Chuck Berry's "Around and Around".

Two of Bowie's actual band-mates from this period, Trevor Bolder and Woody Woodmansey, claim this actually happened to the real Bowie — that he spent less and less time off-stage with them and other old acquaintances as his star rose — and Bowie later admitted that he wrote the song partially as an apology to his loyal bandmates for his behaviour during the recording of Hunky Dory.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (Music) / int_b24ce4b2	type	Rearrange the Song
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (Music) / int_b24ce4b2	comment	Rearrange the Song: "Moonage Daydream" and "Hang On to Yourself" were originally released by B&C Records as two sides of a 1971 non-album single with the Arnold Corns, made while Bowie's manager was weaseling the artist out of his contract with Philips Records and Mercury Records out of discontent with the labels' practices. For this album, Bowie re-recorded both songs from the ground up with the Spiders from Mars. Following the success of this album, B&C reissued the original single with the sides switched around. "Starman" was substantially remixed for its single release, with this version commonly being referred to by biographers as the "loud" version of the song. This mix would replace the original version on the UK release of the album thanks to its commercial success.

On-stage at a concert, to the surprise of his fans (and his band), he announced that Ziggy would be retiring, as it was difficult for him (Bowie) to keep his sanity.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (Music) / int_c3ae004a	comment	Re-Cut: After "Starman" became Bowie's most successful single since "Space Oddity", the British division of RCA Records went back to the album before release and altered the UK edition to both replace the album mix of "Starman" with the single one and fix a dropout on "Suffragette City". However, RCA would prioritize the US edition of the album worldwide, to the point where their CD releases exclusively used it. Reissues since 1990 combine elements of the two versions, featuring the album mix of "Starman" like the US edition but fixing the dropout on "Suffragette City" like the UK one; another dropout at the start of the album mix of "Starman" is also fixed on these later releases.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (Music) / int_c75df49a	type	Shout-Out
The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (Music) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: A Clockwork Orange was a key visual inspiration for Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, and the term "droogie" is dropped in "Suffragette City". Speaking of "Suffragette City", the repeated shouts of "hey man" are taken from the Velvet Underground's "White Light/White Heat", and the piano riff is audibly inspired by Little Richard, the artist who inspired Bowie to get into music. The starman in "Starman" is inspired by the Starchild in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Also, the chorus is loosely based on "Over the Rainbow", and the song also has musical references to T. Rex and the Diana Ross and the Supremes hit "You Keep Me Hangin' On". Ziggy Stardust himself was inspired by The Legendary Stardust Cowboy, where Bowie took the name from. Ziggy playing guitar left-handed is likely a reference to Jimi Hendrix doing the same thing. "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide" quotes "Jef" ("No, Love, You're Not Alone") by Jacques Brel. Bowie was a noted fan of Brel's songs. Bowie also stated that the song was partly inspired by The Who's "My Generation", specifically the line "hope I die before I get old" and the anxiety of losing one's youth.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (Music) / int_d4c98786	comment	Writing Around Trademarks: One promotional release of the Rykodisc remaster features both the expanded CD and a mock-RCA LP with added surface noise. The LP is designed after the original RCA US release, but with the RCA logo replaced with "RYK" and the Dynaflex logo slightly adjusted to say "dynoflex." Since 2012, reissues of the album feature a disc label design patterned after the original RCA design from the 1970s, but with a stylized "Bowie" in place of the RCA logo. Parlophone's reissues go a step further and use the actual font that RCA used for their logotype. This would occur again with Aladdin Sane in 2013, and would become standard for Parlophone's reissues of the Bowie back-catalog from 2015 onwards (with modifications to match each album's respective UK LP label). Perhaps not coincidentally, Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane are the only two albums that Parlophone never remastered during their gradual reissuing campaign, instead choosing to recycle EMI's 40th anniversary remasters for both.

But Ziggy himself would be a major inspiration and popularizer for rock stars to come. The aesthetic of rock stars with facepaint and makeup would be popularized through Ziggy and other Glam Rock artists, influencing subsequent music genres such as Punk Rock and its various subgenres as well as Glam Metal.
