Pet Shop Boys - one in a million, 1993

"This song boasts a common, tried-and-true pop music device, though it's not at all common for PSB. In fact, it's downright rare for them: a climactic key change. Virtually a cliché in the work of some artists—just try to find a Barry Manilow single that doesn't raise its key near the end—it would appear that the Pet Shop Boys have assiduously avoided it. But not in "One in a Million." Its climactic key change in the final repetitions of the chorus does precisely what climactic key changes are meant to do: push the energy up a couple of notches, imparting an epic feel to the proceedings. Coming as it does, a rarity in a PSB track, it's nothing less than thrilling to hear."
