Mute founder and all-round label guru, Daniel Miller, speaking to trade publication Music Week hinted that a live DVD from Depeche Mode, shot in Barcelona, would appear in March of next year. Miller also said the enigmatic “The Posters Came From The Walls” film might see a DVD release in 2010.
Depeche Mode’s “Perfect” hit the no. 1 spot on the Billboard Dance Chart, making it their 9th time on the top of that chart. Only Pet Shop Boys has had more Dance Chart no. 1s - they’ve had ten, the most recent mere weeks ago.
