Data Insight
All ten tracks are Tennant and Lowe with no third name anywhere, the first time that happens on a Pet Shop Boys album. "Being Boring" comes from this record and never entered the Hot 100.
Behaviour came out on Parlophone in October 1990, made at Harold Faltermeyer's studio in Munich and built around slower tempos than the records before it.
