Just a few weeks ago we were congratulating Pet Shop Boys on holding the most Billboard Dance Chart number ones. Depeche Mode are now following closely behind as their latest single Perfect just went number one. This success gives them a total of 9 number ones, just one behind the Pet Shop Boys! Gary Trust at Billboard just wrote a piece about the success:

Depeche Mode have also just been nominated for a couple of Grammys!  They are up for Best Alternative Album for Sounds Of The Universe and Best Short From Music Video for Wrong!

Wrong (Live On Jools Holland)

PRO MOTION is the Executive Remix Producers and promotion company for Depeche Mode’s ‘Wrong’ that was a #1 Billboard dance chart single as well as ‘Perfect.’ Much to our delight the Depeche Mode team hooked us up with tickets to their first show at Madison Square Garden.  After twenty seven years in the business these groundbreaking artists still have it, putting on a superb show and selling out multiple nights.

The energy these guys still have is amazing! Dave twirled around the stage gyrating his hips, at times looking he was dancing to La Isla Bonita rather than their Synth-pop hits, but it worked! He owned the audience delighting them with every move, either with or without his trusty mic stand which he spun around with on multiple occasions (loved that! very Freddie Mercury esque) Martin rocked out on multiple different guitars, and all of their voices were still incredible, as a result the crowd was pumped the whole way through the show.

In a bold move, they opened with three songs from the new album instead of starting with some older hits, but the crowd loved it.  I thought the show had a good mix of stuff from their new album ‘Sounds of The Universe’ and older hits such as the classics ‘ Personal Jesus’ and ‘Enjoy The Silence.’ It has to be said that all the sets were also fantastic and really complimented the show.  All in all the show was fantastic, even for just a casual fan like myself, who found herself surrounded by die hards!
