I SOOOOO wish that when Pet Shop Boys releases their new album "SUPER the 1st of April it will chart high. I´ve heard 3 tracks off the album and they are soooo great. Dance floor´s calling! Their new album is so today!!

exceptional achievement for james. despite a fraction of the airplay or exposure that adele gets coming in at no2. also unlike the tone-deaf uk. Its no1 in scotland where music matters.
