Greetings,

Which of the 55 singles featured on SMASH is the most forgettable... in the sense that sometimes you forget it was even released as a single at all?

I don't mean in the sense of being a weak song necessarily - just that when you think of the Pet Shop Boys canon, it's rarely foremost in...

I found some old VHS video cassettes in my loft at the weekend. Every time something PSB related was on the TV, I would stick my cassette in and wait, my fingers hovering over the record button. You may well have done the same. The result is four x three-hour cassettes, some more full than others,...

Myself (Graham) and Dog (Chris) have made the brave (or foolish!) move to record a series of Pet Shop Boys fan podcasts.

Prior to recording, we had only met once ‘on a wet Wednesday night’ in a pub near where we both live in West Yorkshire in the north of England. But we thought it might be fun...

As some of you may know, some enthusiasts at the UK Mix forum recently got their hands on the actual chart data used by Gallup to compile the UK singles chart in the 1980s and early 1990s. What's interesting is that it revealed for the first time the estimated weekly sales of each single along with...

Neil was Johnny Marr’s special guest at the Hammersmith tonight. They covered Rebel Rebel…not sure if they played any Electronic or not!

EDIT - sorry, this should probably have been in the live section 🤦🏻‍♂️

This thread is for daily discussion of a Pet Shop Boys track, selected in chronological order, from studio albums starting with Please – including Further Listening – to the new album. The idea is to allow a 24-hour period of discussion for each track – then we move on to the next one. The first 11...

Hi everyone!

I'm a huge Pet Shop Boys fan since I was 4 years old and I wanted to share something special with you.
I’ve made an accurate instrumental recreation of one of their songs that I love the most, 'Being Boring' and I thought it would be fantastic to share it with this wonderful community...

Not sure if this is on or off topic, but should work here anyway:

Lets share songs that sound like Pet Shop Boys songs. It could be a small part of the song, just the melody, or the song taken as a whole.

Here is Mood Ring by Debbie Harry: (youtube audio sounds worse than usual lately IMO)

It's...

Apologies if this that been discussed before but can anyone confirm if these two singles, DJ Culture and Was It Worth It?, were recorded as part of the Behaviour sessions in 1990 or especially for the Discography compilation the following year?

They would both have been fantastic additions to...

I thought I'd start a positive thread!

Sorry if this has been a topic before, but living in Canada, as I do, you don't often hear PSB except perhaps the odd radio play of West End girls on a retro radio station, or similarly popular Please/Actually era songs in various stores (What have I done to deserve this? and Always on my mind pop up from time to time).

Today I was really...

We swept into Moscow in Gorbachev’s limousine’: Neil Tennant’s love affair with Russia – before the ‘cancer of Putin’

In the true PSB spirit of celebrating negativity rather than positivity, what are Neil's worst lyics?

How about the tautological Planes taking off to fly from Hold On?

I see Periodic Table of Synthpop is (cheekily) offering up Nonetheless Instrumentals for download - official versions reserved for record company use, rather than AI recreations.

Dreamworld rescheduled

In light of recent government advice in relation to the ongoing situation and threat of COVID-19 globally, Pet Shop Boys’ Dreamworld tour can no longer commence as planned in May 2020 and the dates are being rescheduled. The European leg of the tour was...
