Now, and coinciding with #ThrowbackThursday, #THEHOTTESTBLOG pays epic homage to the Pet Shop Boys with a recollection of their appearances on the A&F Co. playlists – particularly with Abercrombie & Fitch where they've been a hallmark of classic, quintessential Abercrombie through the years...
NOTE: The playlists transitioned from monthly releases to seasonal releases by 2008.

We haven't had any Pet Shop Boys on the playlist in forever, and the fellas have come out with great new work since 2011, too!
Let's pick up those picket signs and get the leather flip-flops ready for some serious street protest on Fitch Path! What do we want?! PET SHOP BOYS! When do we want it?! NOW! Haha.
Stay FIERCE!
PLEASE NOTE: If any of the links/videos become unavailable in time, you may find some of them on the Pet Shop Boys official Spotify account (here) where you can also explore the majority of their work.
