GHOST Set to Release PET SHOP BOYS Cover on Streaming Platforms
Ghost has just dropped a new chapter in their lore with the release of a video confirming the upcoming release of their cover of Pet Shop Boys’ “It’s A Sin” on all streaming platforms on January 16th. This track was previously only available as a bonus cut on their 2018 album Prequelle, but now fans can enjoy it across all digital services.
In the video announcement, Frater Imperator delivers the news directly to the faithful, sharing the long-awaited release date for “It’s A Sin.” Along with the good news, he also addresses the ongoing speculation about a new covers EP, confirming that there are no plans for a companion release at this time.
While Ghost has a history of standalone covers EPs like If You Have Ghost, Popestar, and Phantomime in the past, this time the focus is solely on “It’s A Sin.” Fans have been eagerly anticipating the wider availability of this beloved cover, and now it will finally be separated from its bonus-track status.
Additionally, there have been rumors swirling about Ghost’s upcoming Skeletour 2026, with dates announced for various cities across North America. Fans can secure their tickets for these highly anticipated shows and witness Ghost’s theatrical performances live in person.
On the music front, Ghost’s latest album, Skeletá, made quite an impact by claiming the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart, marking the first rock record to do so since AC/DC’s Power Up in 2020. Skeletá sold an impressive 86,000 units in its debut week, with a significant portion of those being physical media sales, including vinyl, which accounted for 44,000 units sold.
Skeletá’s success extended beyond just the Billboard 200 chart, landing at No. 1 on several other charts including U.S. Album, Vinyl Album, Indie Store Album, Independent Album, Rock Album, Rock and Alternative Album, and Hard Rock Album charts. Internationally, the album topped the charts in several countries, showcasing Ghost’s global appeal and solidifying their position as a powerhouse in the rock and metal scene.
Overall, Ghost’s upcoming release of “It’s A Sin” and their successful Skeletá album are just the beginning of what promises to be another exciting chapter in the band’s illustrious career. Fans can look forward to more music and performances from Ghost as they continue to make a lasting impact in the music industry.
