Numb by Pet Shop Boys

"Numb" is a song recorded by the Pet Shop Boys and is featured on their album Fundamental. It was released on 15 October 2006 as the third single from that album, peaking at number 23 on the UK Singles Chart (see 2006 in British music). Up to that point, it was only their second single in 39 releases to miss the UK Top 20 (the other being "Was It Worth It?" from 1991, which peaked at number 24). The ballad was widely used throughout the year, mainly in an edited version used in a montage for England's elimination from the 2006 FIFA World Cup on the BBC Match of the Day programme in early July 2006.
