Actually

Actually is the third album, the second of entirely new music, by English electronic music group Pet Shop Boys. It was first released in 1987. This album is also the group's third best selling album with over 4 million copies sold. Actually is featured in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.

　　Actually is not much different from Pet Shop Boys' first album, Please in terms of musical style, although production values are noticeably higher.

1986年英国舞曲双人组Pet Shop Boys以重发单曲［West End Girls ］与首专［Disco］走红。1987年9月乘胜追击推出第二张大碟［Actually ］，制作群包括两位成员Chris Lowe+Neil Tennant，Stephen Hague ，David Jacob ，Julian Mendelsohn，Shep Pettibone，Andy Richards，乐评比上张［Disco］更佳。

专辑曲风包括Synth-pop、dance-pop、disco、new wave，十首歌皆由两名团员创作。商业成绩良好：英国专辑榜亚军 白金唱片（30万张＋），德国＃4（1990年终#38 ）金唱片，瑞典/西班牙亚军，瑞士＃3，美国Billboard 200＃25。专辑打出了4首UK top 10单曲。
