It's possible that she could miss the Top 50 but I don't think it'll be that much lower. Everything around her is selling pretty similar quantities and her lead is comparitively better.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 28th November 2018, 01:57 PM

Even with a big drop top 75 is secure

Posted by: pippa 28th November 2018, 02:33 PM

The album is positioned well to stay top 60 with sales of 2500 units.
7 months after its release, none us thought this would happen.

So it going to sell close to 10,000 copies in November......


any predictions for December? 5-6k?

That aside, its a great result for todays update,Top 60 is looking safe for Golden for this week.

I received the Super Deluxe in the post yesterday, I love it


This is what I have:

I bought the following three items from her official store in a bundle that also included Dancing 7" vinyl & 2 photographs. Altogether this cost me £55 (£45 for the items and £10 postage with tracking) -

CD - Deluxe
12" Vinyl - Picture Disc
Cassette - Black Spools

£5.00 | CD - Standard
£23.95 | CD/Vinyl - Super Deluxe
£22.99 | 12" Vinyl - Clear
£25.00 | Cassette - Collector's Edition (2 copies, 1 sealed and 1 unsealed) / £10 each for the cassettes and £2.50 each for postage


It is rather a lot of money overall, but what can I say, I love Kylie and I love Golden!

Posted by: SmileyKylie 2nd December 2018, 02:17 PM

Holding nicely at 54 on UK Itunes

its always a good sign and as it is 2 for £10 in HMV and £5 everywhere else i feel it could hold again top 75 this week and probably another 2.5k sold.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 2nd December 2018, 05:56 PM

Posted by: SmileyKylie 3rd December 2018, 06:18 PM

Not too bad.

There are few albums she could overtake during the week.

Ann-Marie has had loads of coverage recently and even she is only a few places ahead

Posted by: markivj 3rd December 2018, 07:07 PM

Such an amazing result for Kylie.... especially when newer and more radio/streaming friendly artists like Rita Ora and Jess Glynne haven't exactly made a massive splash with their 2nd albums (yes, I'm aware Jess started at #1 but for her profile and hits, I thought the album would be a bigger seller and stay longer in the upper reaches of the chart than it has).

I recall being sick (from work) the day Dancing leaked, and I heard it on youtube. I didn't hate it, but I definitely didn't love it. And I thought, oh well.... fingers crossed for a top 10 album. Whoever imagined the album would not only debut at #1 with close to 50K first week sales...but that we would be tracking its position during the Dec timeframe?! So happy for and proud of her. This also bodes well in terms of the record label having confidence in her for a follow up album. And who knows, she may get more budget too! And nicer promo slots.

My only 2 regrets with the campaign so far is wrong choice of song for X Factor (she could've just done Stop Me From Falling, again), and no promo slot on Dancing with the Stars.

That is 400 more sales too since the last update.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 4th December 2018, 10:04 PM

Posted by: Jay ☆ 5th December 2018, 08:57 PM

Seems like it’s on course for 2,500-ish, so this should be the week that it crosses over 130k.

Difficult to predict the sales for the rest of the year but I suppose it’s likely to end 2018 somewhere between 135k and 140k. Hopefully enough to hold on to the Top 40 best selling albums of the year (it’s currently 27th).

Posted by: liamk97 5th December 2018, 09:40 PM

Fingers crossed! ~140k was the cut off for the Top 40 from 2015 to be 2017 so hopefully Golden can make it.

Posted by: pippa 5th December 2018, 10:16 PM

I would be so disappointed if it falls out at the last minute.

Posted by: Zárate 5th December 2018, 11:53 PM

This time last year Kasabian were at 27 there with 130.7k and in the year end chart they ended up at #40 precisely, getting to 140k so it’s gonna be close.

That said, this time last year #40 sold 111k and right now it’s on 103k.

So if I put a bet I’d say she would make it.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 6th December 2018, 12:48 AM

Hopefully it will hold on but it will be close and likewise with staying top 75 this week.

Posted by: pippa 6th December 2018, 04:09 PM

I have a feeling and an annoying feeling that Golden will end the week at number 76.
While this is fine, I am hungry to see the album get the 1 week more on the official Top 75.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 7th December 2018, 02:29 AM

Was just looking at chart weeks for Golden - it seems the UK is the only place it’s had any longevity (Belgium is next with 11 weeks). It only spent 6 weeks in the Australian charts despite getting to #1 although I’m sure Mushroom will release a tour edition of the album when she takes the shows over there as they usually do (and they are always such great packages too!).

Posted by: ___∆___ 7th December 2018, 08:19 PM

I think Golden will be heavily featured in all the January sales - fully expecting the download to drop below £5 and offers from her official store, HMV etc., so could have a few more weeks in the charts.

I estimate Golden being 29th in the YTD as of this week! (Down from 27th).

It's been overtaken by Jess Glynne - Always In Between, Take That - Odyssey, Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody OST and Michael Buble - Love, but Golden appears to have overtaken Oasis - Time Flies and Fleetwood Mac - The Very Best Of.

It is not a big enough jump for any headlines
Top 75 for another day, Top 100 is secure for this week.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 11th December 2018, 11:14 PM

Once it stays top 100 and 2k sales il be happy.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 12th December 2018, 07:13 AM

I meant it would make more of a headline if it goes from 90 to 50 in Xmas week as Queen of cassettes lol

Posted by: pippa 12th December 2018, 04:10 PM

The Christmas Number 1 barely gets a headline these days so i doubt an album climbing into the top 50 would get any attention.

Mid #73 with 1,890

Posted by: pippa 12th December 2018, 07:30 PM

That is good, the last 2-3 weeks Golden has improved on the Wednesday update in compassion to the Tuesday updates.
Top 80 is likely safe and sales of at least 2k is now secure.

Yep 2 more days of sales so should near 2.4-2.5k

I think starting 14th to put digital down to 4.99 too. Mixed with CDs, Vinyl as cassette she could get maybe 5k sales next week

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 13th December 2018, 05:09 AM

What is her projected position for Friday do we know. She might just manage top 75 again.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 13th December 2018, 12:58 PM

I think she will sneak top 75.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 13th December 2018, 03:12 PM

Big reductions on her website for everything!!!!!!!

Great prices !

Looks like she is getting ready to try and get big sales next week

Posted by: ___∆___ 13th December 2018, 03:32 PM

Love to see BMG trying to squeeze those pre-Christmas sales. Totally the right time for them to slash prices now rather than waiting until January - The picture disc and photo set for £15 is a good price that should encourage some sales Also the majority of the sales for reduced items will count towards next weeks chart along with the cassette sales so she could have a great sales week.

Hopefully they send out a mail shot to highlight the reductions.

Posted by: pippa 13th December 2018, 04:44 PM

They are showing the signs they want a big week next week.
Could in the region of 5000 sales for next week be a possibility?

Posted by: SmileyKylie 13th December 2018, 04:53 PM

i actually think we could see nearer 7k..... lets see could be way off the mark

There is a Vinyl on her Spotify page selling for £13.

Sales are so good for number 74.
Touch and go if it can stay Top 75 but sales are impressive regardless.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 13th December 2018, 08:07 PM

on a side note it would be lovely if Golden could outsell Pink and Taylor Swift albums in next few weeks and finish above in year end. i know they released in 2017 but would be a good coup for Kylie.

Posted by: Jay ☆ 13th December 2018, 10:58 PM

Golden passed Reputation during this week, as of today's midweeks Golden has sold 400+ more copies than Reputation in 2018. Golden is also less than 20 copies behind Beautiful Trauma as of today's mids, and will definitely have moved ahead in time for tomorrow's Year-to-Date chart.

Assuming its true the cassettes weren't limited then I could see 2k being sold quite easily, then add on the 2.5-3k the album would presumably sell in other formats. That would be about 5k sales. Looking forward to seeing it's boost this week regardless.

Posted by: ___∆___ 15th December 2018, 08:35 AM

Yes I think easily 2k of cassettes could have been shifted to UK fans, also the price reductions on the official store will really help - people that want to complete their collections might now be tempted (The picture disc is now £15, and the deluxe bundle which includes multiple formats and the Dancing Vinyl has been reduced from £95 to £40).

Not sure!

Who knows what the cassette sold? Where pre sales very disappointing so they put out the £5 cassette too to get more sales or did they sell well? It took big numbers to 6.7k for top 40 last week and 4.1k for top 50.

She has no promo sadly like a lot of artists had..... I think top 50 tomorrow would be excellent and then top 75 for the full week

Surprised they didn't do iTunes 4.99 to be honest this week also.

Wonder what januay will bring? Will they put Golden at 3.99?

Posted by: slowdown73 17th December 2018, 01:48 PM

I expect Golden should comfortably re-enter the T75 this week and sell 3-4K. Might reach 140K by the end of the year.

Posted by: pippa 17th December 2018, 05:40 PM

It could potentially show a Top 40 position today with the cassette sales.
That said, it will fall through the week, but, should secure Top 75.

i did think she may have released the £5 cassette as take up of the £10 one wasnt as much as they had wanted....

If Kylie can reach 5k this week and 2k next week, Golden should be on track to overtake Kylie Christmas on overall sales.
Am i correct?

Posted by: aeroco 18th December 2018, 03:16 PM

Probably won’t be enough as KC will sell this week and next...all depends on how successful the cassettes and discounts are in driving sales. Golden will at worst pass KC early next year regardless.

Posted by: liamk97 18th December 2018, 03:47 PM

Yep, Golden should at least pass in January. That would place it at #13 on her best selling album list, from what I can tell.

In 12th place is her 1992 Greatest Hits album with an estimated 170k, although it is only that: an estimate. Don't think we've ever had official sales for her PWL albums, her debut aside. Also worth considering that the 2002 Greatest Hits album is a re-release of this album and that sold 316k copies so combined sales stand at about half a million, although most sources keep them separate.

Posted by: pippa 18th December 2018, 05:41 PM

The original Greatest Hits and re-issue are confusing as they really are different releases.
Will be wonderful to see Golden overtake Kylie Christmas even if it takes until 2019.

Yeah looks safe around the 60-75 region i think for Friday and around 3.8-4k

2,074 tapes is very good.

Needs to sell a lot of those £5 ones to get number 1 cassette of year though..... must be on about 4.9k and 1975 around 8k...... doubt she will do it......

Golden now 417th on Itunes... not sure why they have let it freefall.... should have reduced to 4.99 to attract sales.....

If she sold 2k of cassettes in UK then she must have done a big load globally again

Posted by: Jay ☆ 18th December 2018, 07:58 PM

7,147 for The 1975 in their first week, but it's unknown how much they've done in week 2 and so far this week (I'd imagine not too many!). Sadly it's probably an insurmountable amount of Golden to overcome, unless those £5 cassettes on pre-order are doing well?

Posted by: SmileyKylie 18th December 2018, 08:09 PM

Oh Jay i think she can do it!

thats only 1.3-1.4k to sell and at £5 i think many will a bought another copy just to not even touch lol, then some will buy to place on ebay lol and some who couldnt get first time will get ...... fingers crossed....


Golden up from 417 to 125 on UK itunes so a couple of extra sales there.....

Kylie Christmas up to Itunes 76! £4.99 price going down a treat.

If it can stay top 50 it would be wonderful

needs to sell more than the 211 it did today. lacking promo and radio support now..... the cassette has held it up this week and probably next...

Posted by: pippa 18th December 2018, 08:16 PM

Alot more than 211 is needed per day to keep it top 50.
Maybe i am safer to hope it stays Top 75.

Yes there were so many comments - like it was front loaded and would spend 5 weeks in the charts, it only sold well in week 1 due to the multiple copies released etc.,

Posted by: Jay ☆ 20th December 2018, 01:20 PM

Already its 5th highest weekly sale and still one shopping day to go. I really hope it passes 5k!

Posted by: SmileyKylie 20th December 2018, 01:34 PM

Am i wrong in thinking maybe they added the £5 cassettes to this total already as 21st was only a 'estimated' release date?

seems an awful lot of sales 800 in one day after only selling 211 on Sunday? Maybe just people buying bundles very cheap from her website etc

Posted by: Jay ☆ 20th December 2018, 03:20 PM

As of tomorrow it looks like Golden will place at #30 in the YTD chart and with over 138,000 sales.

I think for the EOY chart, Olly Murs / Roy Orbison / Michael Buble Christmas will overtake her, but I'm not sure if any other albums are likely to.

Posted by: pippa 20th December 2018, 03:37 PM

A Top 30 finish is a good result for Kylie.
Initially, a Top 40 year end place i had hoped for, it it takes Top 30 it would be just wonderful.

WOW look at those cassette sales.......

do you think most of the £5 ones are included? Gone up a lot since the original update

Posted by: pippa 21st December 2018, 06:24 PM

The sales thread is saying the album is number 54.
Great sales, so close to 5,000.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 21st December 2018, 06:26 PM

Of five re-entries to the Top 75 this week, the most notable is Golden by Kylie Minogue. The album, which topped the chart on debut in April, surges 79-51, with 2,440 of its total 4,961 sales coming from the newly-released silver glitter cassette version, which also has a cardboard sleeve that doubles as a gift-wrapper.

Posted by: slowdown73 21st December 2018, 06:43 PM

It was a good strategy releasing another cassette and has really boosted sales. I’m guessing it’s sold about 138k in total now?

Great sales! Almost 50% of that being cassettes though. *.*

Taking into account the reported sales for the previous two cassettes, she's sold at least 6,174 cassettes. Hopefully we'll find out this coming week how the re-release of the original cassette does. It's still over 1,000 copies behind The 1975.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 24th December 2018, 10:05 PM

Well its dropped off iTunes. No promo, no sales from Amazon hardly, probably lots of sales already started on other albums etc. Cassette sales added to last weeks sales instead no doubt

Posted by: slowdown73 25th December 2018, 12:00 AM

I still wonder if we will get a proper album reissue next year. BMG originally stated the album would be an 18 month campaign so I wonder whether they will issue a reissue around the first anniversary with new material. Maybe wishful thinking!

Posted by: SmileyKylie 25th December 2018, 12:07 AM

Well surely we will get a DVD at some point.

Wonder if we will see a Golden/Greatest Hits combo

Or a Greatest Hits + Golden Tour Bonus?

Posted by: Jordan Lee 26th December 2018, 01:17 AM

I’m surprised the reissue if there is one wasn’t around the Christmas market like a late November release as it would’ve been really big for sales and her fan base would’ve been out in force to get it.

Palomas re release has done fairly well extra weeks top 40 and consistent sales (she’s the first I thought of who’d re-released and was more of an albums artist) and I imagine Kylies would’ve been bigger I’ve definitely seen her across TV more anyways though. Kylie would’ve probably sold a lot more in the debut re release week as she has Stans and a hardcore fanbase then dropped and remained consistent from week 3 I’d have guessed.

Regardless though, this feels like Kylies biggest era since like 2003 for me. I Sales are obviously far lower now but she’s been everywhere this era in the UK amazing promo and the album itself is what it is a great pop album.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 26th December 2018, 11:02 PM

Hmmm, I'd probably say X feels like a bigger era overall to me.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 27th December 2018, 02:31 AM

I feel Golden was bigger than X as after her last couple of albums i didn't expect Golden to do aswell as it did. With X i thought it would have been much bigger in terms of sales as it was her comeback after her cancer diagnosis.

Posted by: Red Blooded Man 27th December 2018, 03:10 AM

Posted by: SmileyKylie 27th December 2018, 09:56 AM

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 27th December 2018, 11:50 AM

Shame it's in for at least a 50 place drop id have loved it to stay top 100 so she would be on the first chart of 2019 but least she will appear on the singles chart.

Posted by: ___∆___ 28th December 2018, 10:42 PM

I definitely think the £5 cassettes got added into the previous weeks total as they shipped them early. But as has been said before I don’t care if Golden never troubles the charts again - it’s exceeded all expectations tbh.

Posted by: ___∆___ 31st December 2018, 02:53 PM

Would have been nice if they’d highlighted the savings on her official site and it had joined the HMV sale but as I’ve said before rather fitting its exited the charts at the end of 2018 after an epic year so not bothered if it never troubles the charts again (Although I have a feeling it will benefit from Glastonbury).

Posted by: SmileyKylie 31st December 2018, 03:17 PM

Posted by: aeroco 4th January 2019, 09:29 AM

Good list of year end chart details thanks Liam.

Relative to the market Golden has done at least as well as Aphrodite....X seems a bit bigger than both, it was released at a competitive time but hung around fairly well. BL was released when sales were higher but didn’t have as much longevity, I’d put it’s relative success below Golden and Aphrodite. LY initially was a solid comeback but because of her Fever resurgence managed to sell well for two years (loads of catalogue albums started to be properly reduced in price in the early 2000s, it was when sales generally started to shrink due to file sharing) so it’s probably on a par with Golden and Aphrodite.

I was chatting to a mate the other day in his mid 20s....he’s never bought a physical record and couldn’t believe it when I told him standard CDs were mostly £12.99 plus until 1999 (recall Boots started selling new release CDs for £9.99, supermarkets quickly took this on).

It'll be sad to see Golden leave the chart as it's been fun following its success but, considering the era is over, as far as the UK is concerned, I can't really complain. I'm sure it'll make a return come the summer shows anyway. 140k sales and chart longevity that is up there with the likes of Body Language, X and Aphrodite is really pleasing.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 5th January 2019, 02:20 AM

The sales are great for that position as in many other weeks that would be enough for top 100. I will also miss following it in the charts each week as I looked forward to knowing its position each werk but it has done great and it will finish on at least 150,000 sales.

From a purely commercial point of view it's a real shame there was no new TV promo during December. MTSWY was being received well and they could have capitalised on it plus plug Dancing , SMFF. Not saying she would have sold anywhere near as well as George Ezra who really plugged his album, but because it had been well received all year he really reaped the rewards with massive sales and outsold loads of the Q4 big albums.

Kylie must have been in need of a rest though due to the bout of illness that caused her to pull out of the Magic concert. Once she performed those two Irish dates she decided to call it quits for the year. Her social media went much quieter.

So I hope she is well recovered somewhere....I recently saw a picture of her on twitter posted by a fan, in an airport in Perth Australia...

Well I guess that’s it now for promotion of the album so it’s unlikely to re-enter the charts and sales are likely to free fall!

Golden was the 31st best selling vinyl album last year. You can see the full list here: https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-official-top-40-biggest-vinyl-albums-and-singles-of-2018__22467/

Kylie Minogue was also a big seller on the vintage platform, shifting an impressive 6,262 tapes of her Number 1 album Golden. Following it's initial release, Kylie also released a Collector's Edition and a Winter Collector's Edition.

Where did it place on the year end cassette chart?

Posted by: slowdown73 7th January 2019, 07:37 PM

Kylie was 2nd after the 1973 in the cassette chart.

Posted by: Jay ☆ 7th January 2019, 08:05 PM

A slight pity that The 1975 outdid her (based on their first week sales alone!). BMG’s own fault really considering they made the first two versions limited editions.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 7th January 2019, 08:17 PM

Actually, did Kylie outsell The 1975 in the first week? That's one thing I wouldn't have predicted at the start of last year.

Golden could leave the Top 200 for the first time this week based on the midweek position it currently has.

Posted by: ___∆___ 13th January 2019, 06:03 PM

They need to just clear out all the remaining stock now - the reductions on her website are not even highlighted as being on offer and they seemingly still have plenty of copies of the Christmas edition of the tape, can’t see there being much demand for those at full price in January

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 13th January 2019, 10:58 PM

Pretty sure everyone has this But Amazon have reduced the super deluxe vinyl of ‘Golden’ to £19.77 (Think it was about £50 when it was originally released )

Yeah I think it was about £50 originally too - I bought it when it was like half price and I'm sure I bought it for just over £20. Definitely worth getting for that price!

Posted by: ___∆___ 26th June 2019, 02:09 PM

^^ Same, I picked it up for about £25 from her website I think, great item!

Posted by: pippa 26th June 2019, 02:20 PM

Golden was a very special Kylie era.
It was her best handled release for a few years.
If the same effort went into X and Aphrodite i really believe these 2 eras could have achieved even greater success than they achieved.
That said, Kylie Christmas, was handled very well, a Top 10 place would have been nice when we look at the sales it achieved.
Kiss Me Once sold almost half of Kylie Christmas and has a much more impressive peak despite very poor sales.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 27th June 2019, 09:31 AM

Bmg and kylie really got behind golden and kylie really believed in the release unlike kiss me once which made a massive difference.

I can't find the exact opening cassette total for Golden but I think Step Back in Time opened with a similar amount.

Posted by: pippa 31st July 2019, 01:31 PM

The follow ups slowed down with SBIT but Golden did have the Christmas re-release which boosted sales.
The cd3 addition would be the ideal addition/release to boost SBIT.

Was streaming this today - I overplayed it SO much when it was released that I needed a break from it but listening to it makes me realise how much I love the entire album, definitely one of her best - really can’t wait to see how she will follow this up, she nailed the ‘adult pop’ perfectly with it so hopefully that’s how she will continue.

Ya it's hard to see what direction her next album will take.

I don't think Kylie will change too far away from the sound of Golden.
This sound suited Kylie, it worked, and both Kylie and the fans enjoyed it.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 7th August 2019, 09:26 PM

I expect it to be different, she doesn't really tend to repeat the same thing twice.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 7th August 2019, 10:36 PM

I'm hoping for a pop/dance/trance style for the next album.

Posted by: Medellíam 7th August 2019, 11:45 PM

I don't really know where Kylie will go sound-wise but I'm excited for it. These summer shows, particularly Glastonbury, have really reminded the public what they love about Kylie's music and Kylie must be riding high on their energy and love, so I'm expecting her next album to be a triumph. I suspect she'll want to capture that breezy feel good pop sound that makes Spinning, Head, Sight, Wow and now Dancing such successes.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 8th August 2019, 09:43 AM

Good pop is where kylie succeeds bezt just like you mentioned and hopefully she go on that route.

Just came up on my memories today that 2 years ago when I was living in NY for the US ‘Golden’ campaign - such a great time although it feels like longer than 2 years ago! Was lucky enough to see and meet Kylie a few times and then it was only a few months later that she returned for her show at the ICONIC Bowery Ballroom - one of the best and most intimate shows I’ve ever been too where we were treated to ‘New York City’ being premiered twice. Great memories

Posted by: pippa 5th May 2020, 04:52 PM

Aphrodite I largely prefer as an album to Golden.
This doesn't detract from Golden as I enjoy the album.
As time moves on I listen to Golden album tracks that bit less which did not happen with some Aphrodite album tracks.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 5th May 2020, 04:59 PM

When listening to both albums in full Aphrodite is so much stronger for me, Aphrodite did fall down on not having the songs that were screaming to be singles, all the lovers was so hard to follow as its just an amazing track that suited kylie so well. Golden did have songs screaming out to be singles when i first heard the album Stop me from falling and musics too sad with you were shouting single for me. Cupid boy and better than today i did think of for singles when i first heard Aphrodite but it was harder to predict the singles that would come from the album, the singles were easier to predict on Golden.

Posted by: pippa 5th May 2020, 05:01 PM

Golden did offer more songs that stood out as good choices for singles.
That said, Closer and Cupid Boy did stand out to be selected as singles when the album was released.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 5th May 2020, 05:04 PM

Its hard to know whether any of these would have done any better than get outta my way, i would like to think they might of as i wasnt a fan of get outta my way for second single.

It's been great revisiting the album, has been a while since I last played it! Lost Without You is a true GEM though, it really should've been the standard album closing track. It fits really well after Music's Too Sad actually, and lifts the mood back up for a gorgeous close! Shame it's only on the deluxe - it's single material imo

I know you guys don't like it but it's seen as a huge highlight by most of the fanbase, it would have been good to capitalise on that and I think it would have got some fans that weren't keen on the country direction back on board with the era.

Plus the emotion in the song... I really think she wrote it about feeling unhappy towards the end of her relationship with Joshua. If you listen to the song, you can almost feel her desperation to escape from him and find the light on the other side. It reveals a rarely seen really vulnerable side of her.

In some ways the album has 3 sounds, pop, country and ballads but they mix well. Dancing, stop me from falling and a lifetime to repair are uplifting pop, lost without you and music's too sad with you cover the ballads, the others have a bit of pop and country together will less of a hint of pop.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 5th May 2020, 11:32 PM

I feel like 'Sincerely Yours' as a ballad is completely different from the aesthetic of the album but somehow fits and is essential.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 5th May 2020, 11:43 PM

Overall all the songs fit well together on the album which is great as it gives the album a real complete sound to it.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 6th May 2020, 01:20 AM

I will also say though, even if you don't appreciate the song or get it - for any Kylie fan to say 'Lost Without You' instills nothing in them is to me quite astonishing, considering how much of herself she bares in that song with such raw intensity.

Posted by: pippa 6th May 2020, 05:26 PM

Its def an album that i still enjoy a good few of the songs, I think an album needs nearly a year before you can decide where it really ranks among other albums. Sometimes albums can be instant and then after a while get tiresome and other albums like impossible princess take time to get into it. Golden is lucky that it has a few songs that I think fans will always rate highly.

It would be a joy for Golden to stick its head in the door of the charts for one more week.

Posted by: ___∆___ 22nd May 2020, 07:54 PM

Well as it’s shifted a few physicals this week be sure to stream ‘Golden’ a couple of times

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 22nd May 2020, 07:56 PM

I think it would need to be a lot higher on the amazon chart and stay high for a few days to even be in with a chance of making it to the chart next week.

Ya if there was more available it would have sold, a price reduction on SBIT is needed soon.

It should have happened by now.
It is missing out on sales due to price.

Posted by: pippa 23rd May 2020, 08:58 AM

With the current market situation a price move with Step Back In Time would draw more sales than the reduction on Golden.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 23rd May 2020, 11:11 AM

I'm still surprised they havnt reduced it.

Streaming this ahead of ‘DISCO’ - I love that as always Kylie attempts to evolve and is going to deliver us a very different album to the amazing ‘Golden’

Posted by: pippa 5th November 2020, 11:25 PM

Disco will be very different from Golden.
That said, I think fand will rate them both equally.

Posted by: ___∆___ 9th November 2020, 10:54 AM

From SayHey - nice to see DISCO ahead at the same stage even mid lockdown!

Golden -

Sue them x

I've now listened to this along with Aphrodite and Light Years in my gradual Kylie listen through. Dancing, Raining Glitter (I figured with a title like that it had to be a gay anthem ) and Lost Without You (AFSC x) were the only songs I knew. I'd say it's probably my least favourite of the 4 Kylie Albums I've heard, just because a few tracks blended into one but everything was good apart from Radio On, Low Blow and I found Music's Too Sad Without You a bit of a drag oops. Particularly stanned for Golden, Sincerely Yours, One Last Kiss, Shelby '68 and Every Little Part Of Me (my fave )

Disco is the first kylie album in a while without a slow number and mist of the time I enjoy the slow song that gets added in such as mysics too sad,fragile, bittersweet goodbye etc.

^^ I think they overproduced on Golden & Disco hence why there are picture discs and cassettes left years later, they really are fan only items and quite a hard sell to the general public.

They have waited far too long to reduce some of the items too but hopefully they will pick up a few sales.

Posted by: ___∆___ 6th April 2021, 07:40 PM

Golden is 3

Still WAY up there for me as Kylie’s best output - such a great album.

Golden remains highly enjoyable but Disco is the better of the 2 albums.

I prefer disco to golden too!

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 7th April 2021, 10:38 AM

Great album is Golden it falls in or around the middle of her albums for me but I would prefer Disco aswell. At the moment I'd probably rate Disco as 6th and Golden 7th among her studio albums.

Posted by: pippa 10th April 2021, 08:50 PM

I do like Golden, strong album with plenty of songs i like but i do prefer Disco as i go back to more of the songs from that album. With Golden, Dancing, Musics too sad without you and Stop me from Falling are the 3 i listen to the most and stop me from falling has really connected me more so now than when it was released.

Posted by: Red Blooded Man 5th April 2023, 09:30 PM

It is a strong comeback album for her, setting off a great partnership with BMG.

Posted by: Jessie Where 5th April 2023, 09:54 PM

Gosh, 5 years!

I remember the day it was released very well, we were on some away training day with work. It was gruelling and mind-numbingly boring, but made worth it by going out to buy this at the end of the day!

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 6th April 2023, 12:55 AM

Golden was a great era. Plenty of stuff happening at the time and it was a well handled campaign.

Posted by: perrobueno 6th April 2023, 05:06 AM

I believe this is one of her very best albums! The whole rollout was excellent, the quality of songs and cohesiveness were on top, and I think Kylie herself grew a lot as an artist making this album.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 7th April 2023, 12:09 AM

Kylie definitely grew as an artist and I think she had great passion in the album which you could see in all the performances.

Going through the sales I totally forgot that ‘Golden’ shifted nearly 50k on release (48,032).

Such a massive figure coming off of the back of parting ways with Parlophone and declining album sales. BMG really is the right home for Kylie

Posted by: ___∆___ 6th April 2024, 11:14 AM

Six years since Golden

What an era, restoring Kylie back at the top of the charts as well as providing a long overdue Top 40 single and an epic tour.

Still one of my favourite Kylie albums - no skips on it for me.

6 years! I played the album so much in the year of release, but I haven't gone back to it for a while. Maybe I should revisit it for its anniversary.

I will always appreciate the era for being a rejuvenation of sorts; public perception seemed more positive than it had done for a while, and it felt like she was starting to be treated as an actual legend?

Her first release with BMG and the start of the multi-formatting / major dents in our bank accounts. I kind of regard the Golden cassettes as being one of the earliest examples of the format being revived and selling well? I wish them being a £5 cute throwback gimmick had remained the case in the years since. Record labels became greedy with them. Just look at Dua's latest album having a cassette for £15 and it's only a card sleeve!

I went to the tour, one of my favourite concert experiences and I was close to the catwalk, it felt " " to see her so close (and have a concept of how short she actually is ). Who'd have thought during the Golden tour that she'd not have had a follow up arena tour 6 years later...

Posted by: Jessie Where 6th April 2024, 11:54 AM

I think with the passage of time, Golden is actually a more solid album than Disco.

I think Disco is much better however I love that she co wrote everything on Golden and I think it was an very important record for her career wise.

Posted by: Padamic Tension 6th April 2024, 03:51 PM

The era itself revitalised her career and I think it was the first time in a few years we really saw kylie fully invested in an album and I think kylie came across so alive and invigurated in all the performances, it's an era I really enjoyed and i still like the album a lot but musically I prefer disco.

Possibly, i think it was a time when Kylie was going through alot of changes, management, label etc and i dont think she was overall happy with how it was panning out which is probably why she distances herself from it.
