Pet Shop Boys singer Neil Tennant doesn't think Taylor Swift has any famous songs ... even though he's been presented with evidence to the contrary.

He says,"Taylor Swift sort of fascinates me as a phenomenon because she’s so popular, and I sort of quite like the whole thing, but then when I listen to the records … for a phenomenon as big, where are the famous songs? What’s Taylor Swift’s 'Billie Jean'?"When presented with"Shake It Off" as proof of Taylor's success at making hits, Neil doubled down ... defending it isn't as good as MJ's chart-topper, and simply not memorable.

NT adds ..."I like the fact that it brings all these people together, even multigenerational, but I think the one disappointing thing is the music -- not the lyrics, the music."Neil then took a swipe at Taylor's personal life, stating the only way to be successful in the music industry is to have a series of high-profile relationships ... which end in tragedy.

We're sure Swifties are going to lose it over these remarks, as they made Taylor's new LP,"The Tortured Poets Department," Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single week.
