* ChannelHop: After parting ways with Creator/{{EMI}} in 1990 over their distrust towards Tin Machine, Bowie signed onto Savage Records, an imprint of Creator/AristaRecords, for this album; Arista co-distributed the album in most of the world. When Savage went under shortly after the album's release, Bowie fully moved over to Arista everywhere except the US, where he ultimately signed to EMI imprint Creator/VirginRecords in 1995.
