* {{Feelies}}: The original LP release was pressed on translucent yellow vinyl, a move carried over from promotional US copies of [[Music/YellowMagicOrchestraAlbum the band's debut]] (retail copies of the US mix though used standard black vinyl); the gimmick would be repeated with ''Service'' four years later.

''Solid State Survivor'', released in 1979, is the second studio album by Japanese SynthPop {{supergroup}} Music/YellowMagicOrchestra. By all accounts, it's not one that the band themselves ever expected to make, given that [[Music/YellowMagicOrchestraAlbum their self-titled debut]] from the year prior was meant to be a one-off. However, the international success of that motivated them to turn the project into a full-time act, resulting in the creation of a sophomore album.

''Solid State Survivor'' was supported by two singles: a double A-side of "Technopolis" and the TitleTrack and "Rydeen". While it wasn't released as a single in support of this album, "Behind the Mask" would later see a single release in the US and UK in support of the altered versions of ''×∞Multiplies'', going on to become a popular subject of song covers after an unrealized attempt by Music/MichaelJackson to bring his own version of the song onto his landmark album ''Music/{{Thriller}}'' (Jackson's version would eventually be remixed and released in 2010 on his posthumous album ''Music/{{Michael}}'').

The combination of this cultural innovation and insight and the band's already established international clout resulted in ''Solid State Survivor'' becoming a massive success upon its release. In terms of sales, the album topped both the Oricon LP and Oricon CT charts for a whopping 82 and 65 weeks, respectively, remaining a top-seller into 1980 and beating out Godiego's ''Magic Monkey'', which had been the best-selling album of 1979 in Japan. As 1980 went on, the album would end up losing the No. 1 spot on the Oricon LP chart to ''×∞Multiplies''-- another YMO studio album; the two would hold the top two spots for seven consecutive weeks, making YMO the only band to ever achieve such a feat. To this day, ''Solid State Survivor'' remains YMO's most commercially successful album, having sold over two million copies since its release.
