Two EPs for the new Pet Shop Boys single “Love etc.” were added to U.S. iTunes yesterday, one containing the regular version of the song plus two B-sides (“Gin And Jag” and “We’re All Criminals Now”), and one that consists of five remixes (the best of which, IMO, being from Gui Borratto and the PSBs themselves). The remix EP is currently at #78 on the iTunes daily Top Albums tally.
“Love etc.” became the duo’s 40th Top 20 hit in their home country last week, as it debuted at #14 on the official U.K. singles chart. Meanwhile, their 10th studio album Yes was released across Europe on Monday, and it’s currently at #1 on British midweek charts, just barely selling over 1,000 copies more than a collection of Mother’s Day ballads by Boyzone frontman Ronan Keating. If Yes does indeed land at the top in England, it’ll be the Pet Shop Boys’ first #1 album since 1993’s Very, and only their second ever.
