[Introspective] Final results of poll on the final singles from PSB albums

[Wayne Studer]

The final results are in for my poll of the past two weeks, in which I 
asked my site visitors to choose whether they believe the final single 
from each of the Pet Shop Boys' studio albums was a good choice for the 
final single, or whether they hold some contrary opinion about it. And 
the song that received the largest number of votes as a good choice for 
an album's final single was:

* "Heart," which 69.5% of the voters felt was a good choice as the final 
single from "Actually."

Of the other songs, a majority or plurality of voters felt that all but 
four of them were also good choices as the final single. Of those four, 
their plurality outcomes were:

* 43.1% felt that "London" shouldn't have been released at all as a 
single from "Release,"
* 31.9% felt that "All Over the World" shouldn't have been released at 
all as a single from "Yes,"
* 40.0% felt that "Undertow" shouldn't have been released at all as a 
single from "Super," and
* 47.9% felt that "Integral" should have been an *earlier* single from 
"Fundamental" rather than the last one.

To see the complete results, please visit my "Commentary" site at

Results" options from the top navigation bar or click the appropriate 
link on my "What's New?" page.

For my new poll for the next two weeks -- which I expect to be my final 
regular biweekly poll before I resume a weekly schedule -- I've decided 
to go with a somewhat frivolous question that may require you to use a 
more fanciful imagination than called for in most of my surveys. 
Considering that, depending on where we live, we've just recently 
entered the final month of either summer or winter, I thought it might 
be a good time for us to consider which PSB studio album is the "most 
summery." But then why stop with summer? How about *every* season of the 
year? So which ones are most autumnal, wintry, and vernal (meaning 
"spring-like"), too? I hope you don't think it's too silly a question 
and have some fun with it. Please mull it over and, when you're ready, 
make your choices right there on my home page.

In the meantime, thanks to everyone who voted in my previous survey! And 
I hope the next two weeks treats you all very nicely!
