Template:Album ratings Other People's Songs is a cover album by English synth-pop duo Erasure released on 27 January 2003.
The album was originally conceived as a solo project for singer Andy Bell. Once Vince Clarke, the other member of Erasure, became involved, it was released as Erasure's tenth studio album. The tracks were handpicked by Clarke and Bell as ones that influenced them as musicians.Template:Citation needed It was released in the UK and the US by Mute Records in 2003, and was a Top 20 success in their home country and in Germany.
Other People's Songs gave Erasure their first Top 10 on the UK singles chart in nine years with their cover of Peter Gabriel's song "Solsbury Hill".<ref name="officialcharts.com">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The album was produced by Erasure with Gareth Jones and Dave Bascombe. Because of Bell's resistance to remaking the classic "Video Killed the Radio Star", the verses are "sung" synthetically by a computer.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
