Pet Shop Boys are an iconic British synth-pop duo whose sophisticated sound and witty lyrics have made them one of the most successful acts in electronic music. Formed by Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe in London in the early 1980s, they defined the decade with hits like “West End Girls,” “It’s a Sin,” and “Always on My Mind.” Their blend of catchy melodies, electronic beats, and dry, observational storytelling created a unique style that crossed over from clubs to the mainstream. Fun fact: Pet Shop Boys hold the record for the most UK Top 10 hits of any duo in history.
