* {{Unperson}}: Even though he was an important and significant artiste in the seventies' glam-rock scene, try finding any radio or TV station that will acknowledge this, after his convictions for child sex abuse.

* {{Rockumentary}}: ''Remember Me This Way'', filmed at his career peak in 1973 and released in 1974.
* SelfTitledAlbum: The first album called ''Glitter'', and the third album by him called ''G.G.'', short for ''Gary Glitter''.
