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).
