2010 Ends With Retro...

There's been a lot of random retro this year.

a-ha released Butterfly, Butterfly (The Last Hurrah), their last single.

Nelly returned to the US top 40 charts in a big way after a five year disappearance with Just A Dream.

Kylie Minogue released Aphrodite, which features three singles so far (the latest being Better Than Today). None of her recent songs have been a hit in the US so far though, which is so wrong.

I'm sure there's more, but those are the highlights to me. Well now three more retro artists appear as the year is about to end...

Alphaville is still around and that's a giant surprise to me. I loved their 80's hit Forever Young, so I was psyched to hear what they sound like now. And they still sound great. Their latest album Catching Rays On Giant was just released and features the single I Die For You Today...



Pet Shop Boys are back. Actually, they never really went anywhere as they've been releasing singles and albums consistently since the 80's. Their greatest hits album Ultimate was just released and includes the new song Together...



Take That released The Flood off their upcoming album Progress. This is the first album since the mid 90's to feature all five original members of Take That...



And there's still a few weeks left in 2010. Maybe another retro artist will surprise us and release something soon...
