Following Pet Shop Boys’ acclaimed performance at the Brit Awards on Wednesday, their 2003 greatest hits compilation, PopArt, has today re-entered the UK albums chart at number 19. (On the iTunes Top Albums chart, it is currently number 2 with the older compilation, Discography, and the pre-order of the forthcoming album, Yes, also in the iTunes Top 40.)
PopArt was originally released in November 2003, charting at number 30. Its re-entry this week makes it Pet Shop Boys 15th UK Top 20 album.

We visited the John Rylands Library in Manchester yesterday and saw the fascinating “Secret Public” exhibition which examines “the profound influence of LGBTQ performers, artists and activists on mainstream pop culture” and includes Neil’s original manuscripts of the lyrics for “West End girls” and “It’s a sin”. Highly recommended. Full details at the link below.
