I'd love to hear them work with Daniel Avery. His dark yet joyous productions would be a wonderful contrast to the Boys melodies.

An official instrumentals version of Nonetheless woudl have been welcome as I still often enjoy listening to the instrumentals of Elysium and Hotspot. I think they should do one every time.

I haven't said too much about these songs this year, so indulge me. That said, I think I prefer to group the tracks of this era into divisions...

Thanks Constantin V, this news made my day. I hope all is well for you in Russia.

I heard 'All The Young Dudes' play recently on Radio 2 whilst in the Windsor Tea Rooms in the posh seaside resort of Penarth, south Wales. I was with some friends in their 60s having a traditional fried breakfast. An old-fashioned setting not disimilar to the Bread & Breakfast scene in 'It Couldn't ...

I miss Pet Shop Boys 12" singles. That's one of the few downsides of their switch from Kobalt. Thanks for posting this poll - gives me a chance to go back and listen to decide my favourite.

Wham!: Last Christmas Unwrapped

In celebration of its 40th anniversary, this Christmas special tells the story of how George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley’s Wham! turned one song into a cultural phenomenon.

As well as new interviews with Wham! fans and friends, figures such as Mary J Blige, Sir ...

I'd be really interested to know how Schlager-Hitparade (Deutsches Demo) and the album version was received in Germany. I have a great deal of affection for Schlager having spent many long childhood holidays in Germany in the 1980s. Whilst England is their first pop home I feel like Germany is their ...

Three years was a very long time to wait in those days since their last 'proper' album. Pop music was in a different place by then. In the mainstream, Stock Aitken Waterman had saturated the market and despite some beautiful songs had given pop itself a bad name. Meanwhile, from the underground ...

This is exciting news. Two of my favourite cultural phenomenoms together! The convention on Strictly is that the special guests get to play one new song (no medlies). So, I'm guessing it will be 'All The Young Dudes' heavily featuring the (wonderful) professional male dancers.

This evening, ahead of their Artist in Residence programmes on BBC Radio 6 Music, Tom Robinson presents a Pet Shop Boys playlist curated from listener suggestions. 6pm this evening. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0024m6j

My niece is 17 and into Slowdive. She was into Billie Eillish and The 1975 but I think she's moved on. I was pleasantly surprised when she played one of her playlists in car and 'West End Girls' popped up. They never really made another song quite like that, did they? Nothing quite so strange yet so ...

If I had the money I'd love these. I love tea from a bone china cup. The very best part is that they are supporting manufacturing jobs in Stoke on Trent. I like the idea of PSB trainers mentioned above and much as I love Adidas, wouldn't be nice to have some Made in England New Balances (from their ...
