Lust for Life is the second solo album by American musician Iggy Pop, released on August 29, 1977 by RCA Records. It was his second collaboration with David Bowie after The Idiot, released earlier in the year. The album achieved critical acclaim and became Pop's most commercially successful album to date; it also remains his only gold-certified release in the United Kingdom.
 
Lust for Life was released by RCA Records on August 29, 1977, with the catalog number RCA PL-12488. It received little promotion from RCA, primarily due to the death of Elvis Presley three weeks earlier, whose catalog the label was adamant on reissuing. Although the label had pressed a decent quantities of the album, once the first pressings were sold out, there were none left. Tony Sales recalled: Lust for Life just disappeared from the shelves, and that was it." With little promotion from the label, Pop was forced to continue touring.
Despite little promotion and lack of vinyl pressings, Lust for Life managed to peak at number 28 on the UK Albums Chart and remained Pop's highest-charting release in the UK until 2016's Post Pop Depression. It also peaked at number 120 on the US Billboard 200.[15] "Success", backed with "The Passenger", was released on September 30, 1977 as a single from the album, but failed to chart.
