About these statistics: Song performance milestones are calculated from known and documented Gary Numan setlists from 1979 onwards. They do not include any earlier Tubeway Army performances from 1977–1978. Where a setlist is unavailable, incomplete or unconfirmed, the songs performed may not be fully known. The figures therefore represent documented song performances based on the information currently available and may change as further setlist information is discovered.
