In early 1985, Pet Shop Boys stormed the UK charts with "West End
Girls" which would also remain their signature tune and biggest hit.
Together with Erasure, they were transforming the synth pop into electro
dance giving it a new face. The Communards certainly contributed to
this trend, as their cover of the disco classic “Don’t Leave Me This Way”
was the best-selling single of the year. Madonna and George Michael
were still among the best-selling artists further developing the pop
genre and Madonna’s third studio album True Blue was the best-selling in the UK.
