Pet Shop Boys pick their Tracks Of My Years

Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe of Pet Shop Boys select the songs that shaped their lives in this week's Tracks Of My Years. Plus a new Album and Record Of The Week.

Pop geniuses Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe of Pet Shop Boys choose the tunes that made them in this week's Tracks Of My Years.

Pet Shop Boys have sold over 50 million records worldwide in an astonishing career spanning four decades. From ‘Domino Dancing’ to ‘West End Girls’, their songs have been at the forefront of electronic music ever since they met in a hi-fi store in London in 1981.

Pet Shop Boys started 2024 with a brand new single, 'Loneliness', from their current album, 'Nonetheless'. They recently performed in Radio 2’s Piano Room, and they’ll be playing five nights at London’s Royal Opera House in July.

Neil and Chris’ first two choices are from The Supremes and The Beatles.
