[Introspective] Final results of poll on PSB single that might have been the biggest 1970s hit

[Wayne Studer]

The final results are in of my survey this past week, in which I asked my 
site visitors which PSB-composed single they believe would have stood the 
best chance of being the biggest hit during the mid- and late 1970s, during 
the height of the "Disco Era." And the song that received (by an 
overwhelming margin) the most votes was:

* "New York City Boy," selected by 36.8% of the voters (which may not seem 
like that much until you note that the song that came in second place was 
picked by less than 6%).

To see the complete results, please visit my "Commentary" site at 
http://www.geowayne.com/psbhtml.htm and select one of the "Past Survey 
Results" options in the top navigation bar or click the appropriate link on 
my "What's New?" page.

My new poll for the week ahead is perhaps an unusually simple one, at least 
at first glance. As you probably know, the Pet Shop Boys left their longtime 
record label EMI shortly before the 2013 release of their most recent album, 
Electric, which they instead released on their own new record label, X2 
(pronounced "Times Two"). Since then they've also released several 
additional items on X2, namely the singles from that album. So I'm wondering 
how you feel thus far about their "release strategy" -- that is, what and 
how much has been released on X2 to date. I'm using the familiar 
"satisfaction scale" that you've almost certainly encountered elsewhere from 
time to time, ranging from "very satisfied" to "very dissatisfied." Thanks 
to Dave F for suggesting this question!

Thanks as well to everyone who voted in last week's survey! And I hope you 
all prove to be *very* satisfied with the week ahead!
