Pet Shop Boys new album Hotspot flies up the Music Charts
The Pet Shop Boys are back, and their new album LP Hotspot is burning up the charts.
The album via x2 Records/Kobalt reached #1 on Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic chart, marking the duo’s fourth time reaching the #1 spot upon release.
It has gotten great reviews from from Rolling Stone, Billboard, and The Mail on Sunday:
- “… the wistful beauty, grace, and gravity of their music only gets deeper as the decades pass.” – Rolling Stone
- [one of the] “Most Anticipated Albums of Early 2020” – Billboard
- ‘If anyone ever tells you that modern music is dumb, you can shoot them down with three syllables: Pet Shop Boys.. it’s the first of the albums of the year.” – The Mail on Sunday
- “The album’s highs… further prove that the duo has had the most consistent career of any of their synth-pop peers.” – Paste
- “Fourteen studio albums is a remarkable feat. And the standard isn’t slipping” – The Sunday Times
Hotspot marks their fourteenth studio LP and third in a series of albums produced and mixed by Stuart Price (following 2016’s Super and 2013’s Electric).
