Tennant, a synth-pop legend continued his attack on the singer and said: ‘To have a successful pop career now you have to have a series of relationships which are amazing and then break up tragically. ‘I wonder what the other half of the relationship feels about this. ‘People don’t write songs like Karma Chameleon any more.’ Tennant met his musical partner Chris Lowe, 64, randomly in a hi-fi shop on London’s King’s Road in 1981 and they’ve remained dedicated to holding pop to a higher standard ever since. With hits such as It’s a Sin – The Pet Shop Boys have sold more than 50million records worldwide and were listed as the most successful duo in UK music history in 1999. Despite scoring somewhat less-positive reviews than her last three albums, according to Metacritic, The Tortured Poets Department was an immediate hit with consumers. The 68-year-old said: ¿She fascinates me as a sort of phenomenon because she is so popular. I sort of like the whole thing but then think, “What is Taylor Swift ¿s Billie Jean?”‘ (pictured in May 2022) It sold around 1.4 million copies on Friday and surpassed the record set by 1989 (Taylor’s version) to become her biggest US album to date. The LP was streamed on Spotify more than 300 million times in a single day. It became the first album to cross the 200 million and 300 million stream mark, according to the platform. Fortnight, the first single featuring Post Malone, also broke records for the most streamed song in a single day. Swift wrote ‘All’s Fair in Love and Poetry,’ but topping the charts while hanging out at one of her beach houses may be the best revenge after a bad review.
