The Pet Shop Boys will be honoured by the British music industry with the prestigious 'Outstanding Contribution to Music Award' at the 2009 BRIT awards.
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.

"West End Girls" was the first video I ever saw on MTC. PSB are awesome.

About bloody time they got the recognition they deserve. 39 top 30 hit singles and still having hits 25 years later. Underrated and probably the best songwriting team since lennon and McCartney. And to think the BPI were going to give this award to Simon Cowell.......
