I haven’t heard I'm with stupid in Russia. I think it is popular only in UK and in EU,
but… Russian “Rolling Stone” marked Fundamental 4,1/2 and called it fanastic.
I hoped that Fundamentla will be no 1 in UK, really. It has to be no 1.
I think the design is awefull, that’s why people don’t want to buy it, if it would be in 100% style as very, behaviour or introspective they would buy it better. Black cover with two small faces and small white neon lights seems not good.
This album has to be blue with red and black – my point of view.
Minimal had to be first single as well.
What I really don’t like in album is Numb – awefull song, awefull melody and I don’t know how such a talanted composers as PSB took it for thier album. It is the worst song that I ever heard from PSB!!!

No 5 is no 5, it is good.

Let's hope we will see Fundamental in Top 40 nest week...

I'm sure PSB are all important to us in different ways. For me they are part of my growing up and life. I've often thought of them providing the soundtrack to my life.

But i think some people on here take things far too seriously. I watch endless posts on here, some ar informative (thank you) and some just ridiiculous, but just lighten up!

No8 for the single is brilliant. The best chart position for years.
no5 for the album is very impressive. Depeche Mode managed no4 i think and they have a huge fan base. Despite the snobbery on here, Erasure also have a strong fan base and their last proper album only got to no27 and it wasn't a half bad album. Having said that Fundamental is miles better songwriting wise and quality etc.

The summer dates are selling out. There's been nothing but good news for Pet heads this year.

Stop over analysing. It's been said before it's a great year to be a Pet Head. Enjoy it!

It has indeed been a great year, Fundamental has seen to that. Also don't forget I'm with stupid will probably be the weakest of the singles released so the majority of the first week buyers will be fans I would imagine, the album may fall in in the charts next week only to regain momentum when the next single comes out hopefully bringing old fans out of the closet *cough* and new ones

This may well be my last post to this community.

I visit here to here like-minded people comment on the 'good & bad' world of being a Pet Shop Boys fan.
...and what can I say, I can't believe there are some fans out there moaning about Fundamental entering the UK Album Chart at no.5.

What is wrong with you ?

2006 has so so far been an amazing year to be a fan, and there's still lots more to come.

LOADS OF PROMOS - TV & RADIO FRIENDLY AGAIN !
NUMBER 8 SINGLE !
AMAZING DOUBLE-CD FUNDAMENTAL !
GREAT REVIEWS !
FESTIVAL DATES !
MINIMAL NEXT SINGLE !
WORLD TOUR IN 2007 !
...FIRST TOP 5 ALBUM IN 10 YEARS !

Number 5 beats there last 2 studio albums, and do you remember that 'sinking' feeling when Disco 3 entered in the 30's, and PopArt too !

For heavensake, a Top Ten Single, Top Five Album, amazing material & great reviews - 20 YEARS into a 'pop' career, unheard of. Most pop acts are dead & buried after 5 years max. BE HAPPY. NO MORE NEGATIVE SHIT, some people here just always look for the worst. STOP IT - BELEIVE ME FROM EXPERIENCE I KNOW !

Well done Neil & Chris, BRILLIANT !

D x x

Hear, hear...

I second that! Hear hear...... Well done Neil and Chris, well done.

No. 5 is very decent. But if you want some cause for doom and gloom, take a look at the singles chart. I'm with stupid is nowhere to be seen in the UK top 40. Not surprising -- as Eldritch says, they're a fan-base group now. Get set for a Fundamental plunge in the album charts next week, though hopefully it'll manage to stay in the top 20 at least.

It doesn't matter too much. They don't have the mass appeal they had even ten years ago in the UK (and 20 years ago in the U.S.), but it looks like they're huge on the continent and they still sell more than well enough in the U.S. and UK market to ensure them a presence in record shops for a long, long time to come.

I might start a new thread about being upset with those fans who think number 5 is a fantastic achievement. Oh wait, I'm one of them

. Can we stop stupid threads like this one being started, it's a load of bollocks. Also, the album WON'T rise, yes that's WON'T rise. It won't.....
