Gary Numan Discography

The following is a comprehensive discography of Gary Numan, a British singer and musician. Numan (born Gary Webb, 1958) released his first record in 1978 as part of the outfit Tubeway Army. Initially unsuccessful, the band scored a huge hit in 1979 with the single " Are Friends Electric" and their second album '' Replicas'', both of which reached number one in the UK. Numan then decided to release further recordings under his own name, beginning with the single " Cars" later in 1979. Both this and the subsequent album '' The Pleasure Principle'' also reached number one in the UK, and Numan became a leading force in the British electronic music scene. He scored a third number one album in 1980 with '' Telekon'', and more hit singles and albums until the mid 1980s when his popularity waned. Despite this, he has continued to record and tour on a regular basis up to the present day. His 2017 studio album, '' Savage (Songs from a Broken World)'', entered the UK Albums Chart at no. 2, which was Numan's highest chart peak since 1980. His most recent album, 2021's ''Intruder'', also entered the UK charts at no. 2.
