About Pet Shop Boys

Pet Shop Boys are an English electronic/pop music duo, consisting of Neil Tennant (born 10 July 1954) who provides main vocals, keyboards and very occasionally guitar, and Chris Lowe (b. 4 October 1959) on keyboards and occasionally on vocals.

The longevity of their career is generally attributed to their ability to create melodic pop/dance music with intelligent lyrics and striking style. They are one of the most consistently successful duos in pop music, particularly in Europe. Since 1986, they have had 38 top 40 singles in the UK including four number ones: "West End girls", "It's a sin", "Always on my mind" and "Heart". Their popularity is still prevalent through their very active and devoted fan base.

The Pet Shop Boys Fundamental
The Pet Shop Boys' latest album, Fundamental, was released on the Parlophone label on 22 May 2006. The album so far has charted at number five in the UK and at number two in Europe-wide sales, marking a strong return to the charts. The album's first single, "I'm with Stupid" was released in the UK on 8 May 2006, reaching number eight in the UK Singles Chart. The second single to be taken from Fundamental will be "Minimal", which received its first UK play on BBC Radio 1 on 19 May, and will be released on 24 July, 2006.

Pet Shop Boys Influence
As of 2003, Pet Shop Boys were ranked by Billboard's Joel Whitburn (in his book Billboard's Hot Dance/Disco 1974-2003) as the number-four most successful act on the U.S. Dance/Club Play charts, behind only Madonna, Janet Jackson and Donna Summer.

In October 2005, a Swedish tribute band called West End Girls had a number-three hit single in their home country with a cover version of "Domino dancing". In January 2006 they released their version of "West End girls", and an album was released in June. Pet Shop Boys also have a UK-based tribute band in the form of Birmingham-based Pet Shop Noise who have been performing locally for many years.

Madonna and PSB
Madonna's album Confessions on a Dance Floor, released November 2005, includes a track called "Jump" which has close similarities to "West End girls". An interview at www.popjustice.co.uk with Stuart Price, who produced Madonna's album, revealed the track "Jump" was a complete Chris Lowe inspiration. While recording the album with Madonna, she even blurted out at one point, "Pet Shop Boys! I fucking love them!". PetShop Boys ironically remixed "Sorry", the second single from the album. Their mix has proven to be a favorite, as even Madonna is using their version in her 2006 Confessions tour.

The history between Madonna and Pet Shop Boys goes back to 1988 with the song "Heart". It was composed by the duo with the idea of pitching it to Madonna to sing--but they were too shy to call her and offer her the song--so they recorded it themselves. The song ended up going to number one in the UK charts. Later, in 1991, Madonna was referenced in a tongue-in-cheek lyric in the song "DJ Culture," right after Madonna and Sean Penn had divorced.
