Outstanding Contribution for PSBs
The Pet Shop Boys will receive the Outstanding Contribution to British Music award at next years BRITS on February 18th. at Earls Court, and live on ITV1.
Ged Doherty, Chairman of The BRITs Committee said, “Since their first BRIT Award over 20 years ago, Neil and Chris have produced a fantastic body of work with songs that truly were the soundtrack to a whole generation’s lives. The Pet Shop Boys have since become one of the most influential groups of the modern era and are deserving recipients of the award.”
Pet Shop Boys Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe have sold 50 million records since they signed to Parlophone in 1985 with four No 1 singles, 22 top 10 hits and a staggering 39 top 30 singles making them one of the most successful pop duos ever.
In 1986 their first hit single, the anthemic “West End Girls”, topped the
charts all over the world and the following year their single “What Have I Done To Deserve This?” relaunched the career of Dusty. Dusty’s further work with the boys included Nothing Has Been Proved and some tracks on the Reputation album.
