Re: New PSB remix of Tina Turner

The remix doesn't go anywhere, I don't think PSB have put a lot of effort on it. The original version is much better.

Re: Which SMASH single was the most "forgettable"?



And Winner is memorable for them trying to revive their Top 40 days with a ham-fisted attempt to jump on the Olympics bandwagon.


They were really succesful on that object, so the plan worked outside the charts. :mrgreen:

The little concert from PSB in Wimbledon, WG during the opening ...

Re: 80's UK Chart Sales and Info

PSB have 6 songs (I suppose Go West did that too) with more than 200.000, only really big one artists could do it better.

Re: 80's UK Chart Sales and Info



I think the data of Spotify is more accurate to know the popularity of the songs all around the world and not only in UK.

With the exception of Depeche Mode, PSB have better numbers than New Order (with the exception of Blue Monday), Erasure, Frankie goes to Hollywood (with the exception of ...

Re: DREAMWORLD Greatest Hits Tour 2022, 2023, 2024 & now 2025

They know:

1) They have gained quite a big exposure the last year and they want to earn more money with the tour.
2) They couldn't show on tour the last few singles like ANLB or ATYD on tour. I can't remember if they played "Feel".
3) This is a Greatest Hits Tour, it explains the long running ...

Re: Top 10 of most succesful PSB songs (Spotify, Youtube, charts)






I'm sort of with you on this "extension" of the Imperial Phase. Introspective remains one of their highest selling albums, so to chop that phase off at the release of Domino dancing makes no sense.


His reaction was based on chart results of Domino Dancing in UK. Latin countries love it ...

For Neil, Domino Dancing wasn't part of Imperial Phase.




Well Domino dancing was part of the Imperial Phase... until Neil realised it didn't chart high enough for him. So it's Schrödinger's 7''... both part of and not part of the Imperial Phase... you don't know until you measure it ...

Hard disagree, for a couple of reasons:

Re: Pet Shop Boys - BTS (not behind the scenes)


A rather surprising IG-story PSB mention from Kim Nam-joon of the Korean K-Pop band BTS. More commonly known as RM to his 46.9 million(!!) Instagram followers.

Funnily enough, PSB posted a picture today also, celebrating 2,000,000 followers on Spotify. Wonder if they'll get some new BTS-Army ...
