Pet Shop Boys / Actually

Actually is the acclaimed second studio album by the English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys, released on September 7, 1987, by Parlophone. Musically, the album stands as a definitive artifact of late-1980s dance-pop, heavily characterized by Neil Tennant's detached, clever lyrical commentary on British Thatcherism, urban isolation, and consumer culture. It is widely celebrated as one of the group's finest artistic statements, spawning multiple massive hit singles and achieving triple-platinum status in the United Kingdom.
