Global Charts (according to the global charts, the most succesful hit was "Always On My Mind". It's fun because the singles " What have I done to deserve this?? " and Always on my mind were both one week in the TOP 10 global chart (which is not something easy). The #1 was George Michael with Father Figure. This song was also the US #1 when What have I done to deserve this? was US # 2 with PSB and Dusty.

In Global Charts, "Always On Mind" was charting before " What have I done to deserve this?? ". I don't know why. Maybe because there was a US release before the one in Europe according to this:

In fact, I think if this song had been released at the same time in all the countries it would have been a GLOBAL Number 1. It was 15 weeks in the top 10 and reached Number 4 many weeks being at the chart at the same time "It's a sin", " What have I done to deserve this?? " and "Heart" were taking part of the top 10 too.


In fact, "Always On My Mind" was top 10 single of the year all arround the world in 1988, NUMBER 9 and "Domino Dancing" was top 20, NUMBER 18:

Discography reappeared in the album chart this week at #179, on the back of West End Girls being played on Friday night at the opening ceremony.

How about the Ceremony Music release in charts?

nickname reckons it's because of Winner.

No? Me neither.

Drico.

What a boring obsession. One would expect that if not as standard users, at least as moderators people should be able to rise above semi-personal innuendos.

Looks like that release will chart at #2 on the compilation chart today.

Pet Shop boys sold 1,690,000 albums in the u.k in the 1990's.

Discography back in the charts again at #155

It will end up being their biggest seller.

Love etc actually spent 7 weeks in the chart and sales were around 35,000. That's some going for a PSB single.
