It also charted in Australia at #4, spending 24 weeks on the KMR charts,[3] entering on the 19th April 1971.
The two performances of the song on Top of the Pops in March 1971, which saw Marc Bolan dressed for the first time on television in shiny satin stagewear and glittery make-up (the latter at the suggestion of his stylist Chelita Secunda) were a crucial trigger for the glam rock movement.[4] In a UK poll in 2015 it was voted eleventh on the ITV special The Nation's Favourite 70s Number One.[5]
