We might aswell have a topic for it.

So we know she has signed to Roc Nation on a management contract and that the album is nearly finished. We also know she has been working with the likes of Darkchild, Sia (i think) and now also Pharrell Williams.

Kylie has tweeted saying alot of the new stuff is perfect for the treadmill.

Can't wait, of course!

Really looking forward to this based on all the confirmed artists and sound. Seems to be a mash-up of dance and urban - perhaps something similar to Daft Punk's 'Get Lucky' as that's a brilliant example that this combination works. Hopefully a couple 'Timebomb'-esque songs too as that was quite "treadmill" sounding.

Posted by: Silver Rocket 26th April 2013, 01:15 PM

She needs an album with more potential singles than last time.

Aphrodite had a few good potential singles, but they played it far too safe with the actual choices. Hopefully with Kylie doing something a bit different with the sound
of this album, that wont be such an issue.

Clip of a leaked demo (i think)

not from the new album apparantly. Shame.

Posted by: Silver Rocket 26th April 2013, 07:18 PM

I'd say 'All The Lovers', 'Get Outta My Way' and 'Aphrodite' were the only 3 strong single songs on there, 'Cupid Boy' was the only other possible viable choice at a push.

They need an album with as many killer singles as X, but with the consistency of Aphrodite.

Posted by: slowdown73 28th April 2013, 07:42 PM

Aphrodite had plenty of potential single choices but apart from the lead single, the record company released the wrong tracks and then abandoned the album too quickly. I'm sceptical about the new album. She has worked with a lot of different producers like with x but I just hope its more consistent than the x album.

Posted by: pippa 29th April 2013, 11:04 AM

I do like Aphrodite but outside of all the overs i don't think there was many strong single choices but better singles could have been picked to follow all the lovers but im not sure how they would have done.Cupid boy, Aphrodite and put your hands up may have done ok. I do agree the album was abandoned to quickly and the single release strategy and promotion was just awful.

I too am skeptical about the new album, lots of different producers could result in a a messy sound overall, while timebomb was ok i would not like the album to follow that direction. Hopefully i will be proven wrong, and additionally, i think Kylie should do 2 singles then launch the album on the third single. Another move i would like is to see the album get a deluxe release that sees a killer 4th single to promote it, Kylie has yet to release a deluxe album worth talking about and purchasing, many other acts are doing the deluxe versions to boost sales so she should do the same but do one that is value to fans and further a field.

Posted by: Regina 29th April 2013, 03:37 PM

I don't want to see a deluxe edition with songs that were clearly not considered good enough for the original album to be released jsut to get a few more sales.

Posted by: Aphrodite 29th April 2013, 06:52 PM

I would like a deluxe if done right, i mean record songs for the deluxe for later use and not just necessarily use left overs, i have to agree kylie's deluxes have not been great, id go as far to say they were pointless so i rather see no deluxe than a pointless one. I think Kylie needs to pull out all the stops on this next project where be, 59p reduction on singles where possible, promote like hell, tie the releases strongly, ie promote on release and video out at same time, relatively quick single releases with phyisical and a deluxe album to follow later. The tides as such are against her ie radio may not fully be behind her so to get the sales her and her management need to pull out all the stops. I really want Kylie to get a hit or 2 of this new album and also for the album to do more than scrape platinum status.

Both aphrodite and especially x had so much more potential to have sold better than they did so im hoping they get it right this time.

Posted by: liamk97 29th April 2013, 07:10 PM

Looking at the unreleased material, B-sides and bonus tracks from the X era, I think a deluxe version would have worked. There was a thread a couple of years ago about the rumours of an Aphrodite deluxe version and someone created a possible tracking list which looked really good. But I agree that perhaps a song especially recorded and released as a single would be in store for it to work properly.

Posted by: Regina 29th April 2013, 07:14 PM

No point in rushing everything for the first single at once, otherwise it would peak high and then bomb right out of the charts.

Posted by: Aphrodite 29th April 2013, 10:17 PM

Well i dont see much point in promoting the single yet saying its not available for 2 weeks time, those scenarios lose sales, the promotion can be spread out i agree but apart from all the lovers her last few singles have had an extremely annoying release strategy and appeared half hearted.

I don't quite get how 'Aphrodite' is at all similar to 'Get Outta My Way'. Completely different style, tempo etc.

Posted by: Aphrodite 29th April 2013, 10:48 PM

As i have often said Get outta my way was a disaster choice for a single and im not saying that because it under performed i say it in that the song wasnt strong enough to be a single, good album track but it was the wrong move, aphrodite which i think sounds nothing like get outta my way would have been a better choice.

Posted by: pippa 30th April 2013, 09:21 AM

Get outta my way was never single material and was a huge mistake from whoever selected it to be a single. It was a piss cheap carbon of Love at first sight that didnt work and it essentially killed the album campaign. Better than today was better but nothing great but the strategy behind it was awful, the release was scattered and it hindered its peak position. That said while the chart peak of both is miles apart better than today sold as good.

How does aphrodite sound like get outta my way, they dont sound in any way similar, i dont understand the comparisons at all.

The next album needs strong coherent single releases and it is essential they pick the right singles. I think Kylie herself became very aware that her strategy for singles that was once hugely successful does not work anymore and i would hope she and her new management team will work on that element of the campaign for album 12.

Many albums are successful pre-deluxe but the deluxe rockets to different heights. Lady Gaga sold well before the deluxe but the deluxe sold more and likewise with Emeli Sande.

Posted by: Regina 7th May 2013, 03:13 PM

Aphrodite was not a big seller though and I doubt there was much interest in a re-release.

Posted by: Jark 7th May 2013, 06:04 PM

Do re-releases of flop/under-performing albums ever work? I'm trying to think of an example and, well, I can't.

Maroon 5 Hands all over really only became successful with the deluxe
Both David Guetta's album benefited hugely from re-releases as they had not sold overly strong pre the re-releases.
Chris Brown exclusive had totally bombed until the re-release
Atomic Kittens first album was the same

They are just a few albums that spring to mind but i am sure i will think of others. That said, the re-releases appear to only be successful if a new single is released to promote the re-release, run by Leona Lewis rocketed sales of spirit for Leona, Bad romance did it for Lady Gaga, so Kylie needs a have in a sense 2 killer lead singles if she was to really make a a success of the new album and a re-release.

Posted by: Jark 8th May 2013, 09:30 AM

Come on Over was never a flop at any point. It did well out of the gate.

Posted by: pippa 8th May 2013, 09:31 AM

The re-release of come on over from my memory is where it really started to sell in big numbers though.

Posted by: Silver Rocket 8th May 2013, 09:33 AM

I'd say with the cases of Maroon 5 and Atomic Kitten, they had extremely rare career saving smashes with the singles which boosted their albums (the ones which were tacked on to the existing albums, I don't believe 'Moves Like Jagger' was a part of that era before they did this). They were both as good as dead in the water before this.

Posted by: pippa 8th May 2013, 10:37 AM

Some of the more recent best selling albums would make you question if without deluxes would the sales be as good. Emeli Sande's deluxe version has sold more than the original. Bruno Mars doowops and hooligans got a great boost from the deluxe as did plus deluxe by Ed Sheeran. Granted these albums were successful beforehand but i would wonder would the sales have been as strong overall had the deluxes not been released.

Posted by: Regina 8th May 2013, 11:25 AM

They likely would have been. All those albums had sold well more than Aphrodite before their deluxe editions, added to the fact they were big names at the time.
Whats the point in having a killer lead single and then saving another one for a re-release? Makes more sense to have more than one killer single on the main album
rather than having to reply on a re release to sell.

Posted by: pippa 8th May 2013, 01:03 PM

Is the whole point that the fans go out and buy the album again so in essence they get double the sales from the fans and hope to grab the extra casual buyers, that is how i have viewed the deluxe thinking. I have no issue at all about purchasing deluxe album when they are worth purchasing, in my opinion the fame/fame monster by lady gaga was well worth purchasing a second time as was progress/progressed by Take That as both are examples of great value for money.

Posted by: Regina 8th May 2013, 01:08 PM

Most of the time it is 2 or 3 extra tracks and a different cover. Much as I love Kylie, I wouldn't buy the album again.

Posted by: pippa 8th May 2013, 03:29 PM

If it had 8-9 brand new tracks would you buy it?

Posted by: Regina 8th May 2013, 03:39 PM

Maybe, but thats nearly a whole album, why just waste the tracks on a re-release of an already flagging album?
I am not a massive fan of re-releases in any shape tbh, I'd rather have a killer album with single worthy tracks from the get go.

Posted by: Euphorique 8th May 2013, 04:54 PM

Aphrodite was not a good album imo, it just didnt click with me. Hopefully no re-releases, I want fresh material.

Posted by: Silver Rocket 8th May 2013, 06:56 PM

Kylie's never been one for re-releases, except for like special 'tour edition's which are limited releases so I'm sure we won't have to worry.

Posted by: Aphrodite 9th May 2013, 12:40 AM

im split on re-releases but i have been a sucker in the past for a good re-release.

Posted by: slowdown73 10th May 2013, 09:52 PM

Re-releases can be a good thing. It depends whats on them. Gaga's first album was re-released and that was worth getting because it had 8 or 9 new songs on it but I hate it when record companies re-release an album with one or two new songs and a previously unreleased remix. Its just milking it and not fair on the fans who bought the first ediiton.

Posted by: pippa 13th May 2013, 12:57 PM

I see the point of when having 8-9 new songs why not just release a brand new album, i suppose for example a 1.6 million selling album appears a lot more impressive than 2 800,000 selling album. If Lady Gaga's sales were split between the fame and the fame monster the perception of how well it sold would have been weakened.

Kylie Minogue's new album to feature 'interesting' collaboration
Published: Monday, May 27 2013
By: Andy Joannou
Source: Digital Spy

Kylie Minogue's next album will reportedly feature an "interesting" collaboration.

The singer signed a new deal with Jay-Z's Roc Nation earlier this year.

Omar Grant - who is part of the A&R division at Roc Nation - responded to a fan question on Twitter asking if Minogue's next record would feature a female collaboration.

He said that Minogue's new album will feature an 'interesting' collaboration, though did not clarify as to whether it would be a male or female.

Pharrell Williams recently confirmed that he has worked with Minogue on new material.

Darkchild, Stargate and Sia are also rumoured to have worked on the follow-up to 2010's Aphrodite.

Minogue has previously said that her new album is almost finished, and that she is doing something "different" for the record.

Posted by: liamk97 27th May 2013, 10:14 PM

I don't see how collaborating with the Scissor Sisters would make her lose credibility when she has done so many times in the past (unless you are just referring to Rita Ora and Iggy Azalea there).

To be honest, I could imagine a Rita Ora collab working if done right. Perhaps a ballad type? I know people have liked Rita's input on 'Lay Down Your Weapons' earlier this year. I love Iggy's music but I cannot imagine Kylie singing something like 'Work' or 'Bounce'! That said, I wouldn't mind a video of Kylie twerking... (oh, behave Liam! ).

Posted by: Jark 27th May 2013, 10:29 PM

The Pharrell song (or one of them) is called The Winners. Could be a duet. Apparently it sounds nothing like your typical Kylie track.

Posted by: Silver Rocket 27th May 2013, 10:54 PM

Rita Ora is the worst thing to happen to music in a LONG time. I would be absolutely furious if Kylie involved herself with that.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qOm_xaLfWI

Posted by: pippa 28th May 2013, 08:29 AM

I dont really think the duet should be American based so she gets a hit there as in many senses that market is irrelevant to her. I would like the focus on her having a huge UK and Europe hit where she is best known and a huge hit that would sell the album. American success would be great but i dont think it should be in any way the focus market.

Posted by: Silver Rocket 28th May 2013, 08:43 AM

Pharrell seems to be hot property all round at the moment, so that could be a big help to her.

I can't listen to 'Skirt' until I get home. These things always happen while I'm at work, so bloody annoying!

Posted by: Jark 28th May 2013, 08:55 AM

It should be noted that Skirt is just a remix. I can't make my mind up on the production (it's not very Kylie but certainly quite bold) but the chorus seems like it will be a winner.

Posted by: Davidson 28th May 2013, 09:09 AM

Posted by: liamk97 28th May 2013, 01:27 PM

It does say 'dub version' in the title, so perhaps it's not the exact, official version? That said, when I listened to the 'dub version' of Madonna's 'Everybody', I heard no difference between that the original.

If it is official, I do hope it is only a buzz track as the way 'Skirt' sounds at the moment, it's not strong enough to be a single.

Posted by: liamk97 28th May 2013, 06:23 PM

I've given 'Skirt' several more listens. Still don't it is very likely to be the final version, but it's really grown on me, especially everything after about 1:15. I can tell a final version is going to fit in perfectly with the "tread-mill" theme of this album and that I'll end up loving it! Can hear a few 'Timebomb' influences.

Didn't actually expect much from Skirt but it's got a great, fairly subtle but incredibly melodic chorus. And the rest of the song has loads of different stuff going on too. Not too drastic a change in direction, it's like an updated version production wise of something that might have featured on Body Language.

I am nervous about this album, nervous in that i really dont know what to expect, but my gut feeling is this album is going to be a mixture of km94 and body language but some beats added, so in other words i hope my gut feeling is wrong.

Posted by: Regina 30th June 2013, 07:47 PM

Surely the fact we don't know what to expect is a good thing? Kylie has been avery samey in terms of her music for a while now, shaking things up is good.
If it does sound like a KM94/BL mix then i will be happy since they are two of my fave Kylie albums.

She needs to produce Red Blooded Woman, Pt. II, then it doesn't matter what the rest of the album sounds like *.*

Posted by: Silver Rocket 1st July 2013, 06:00 AM

I'm fairly certain this will be a dance driven album.

Posted by: Liаm 16th July 2013, 07:04 AM

Didn't know where to put this, but Digital Spy says the first single features Brooke Candy, a US rapper:



Never thought much of her myself, and she doesn't seem the type of rapper that would go with Kylie at all IMO. She is recording her feature this week though apparently.

Posted by: Silver Rocket 16th July 2013, 07:53 AM

Yep, Brooke confirmed it on Twitter yesterday it seems. She's recording her verse on Wednesday in London.

I'm sceptical, but I'll try and keep an open mind.

Posted by: Regina 16th July 2013, 11:18 AM

Oooo interesting.

Posted by: pippa 16th July 2013, 01:01 PM

I too am skeptical about this album. I sense this album could be marketed towards an American audience, which is a crazy move. UK, Europe and Australia are her markets and she needs to maximize those markets and remain relevant as she will never be household name in America now.

Posted by: Silver Rocket 16th July 2013, 05:19 PM

On the bright side, if they've picked out a single and she's just got to record her verse for it that means we should be hearing something very soon!

Posted by: Regina 16th July 2013, 05:25 PM

I pray to God that we hear Kylie drop an F-bomb or two in this tbh.
I am fairly sure there will be a solo version, so people like vidcapper won't lose sleep over there being a Kylie + Rapper single.

Posted by: liamk97 16th July 2013, 06:01 PM

Don't think I've heard any of Brooke Candy's material, but it's nice to know Kylie including someone unknown rather than someone obvious like Pitbull or Jay-Z (although a Jay-Z collab could be reasonably likely considering his record label manages her).

Posted by: slowdown73 20th July 2013, 09:11 AM

Really don't like the sound of this. Brooke Candy is an Amercian rapper...sounds like they are trying to do the same thing that Madonna did with MDNA and it failed miserably with her. I'm not sure if I will support it. Kylie and rap just doesn't go.

Kylie Minogue confirms tour plans: "Hell yeah!"
Friday Jul 26 2013
By Sam Rigby

Kylie Minogue has confirmed plans to embark on a new tour.

The singer - who is set to release her 12th studio album later this year - revealed that she hopes to head out on tour again next year, The Mirror reports.

Asked if she will take the new album out on the road, she said: "Hell yeah!

"I don't know when but maybe next year. I always love the idea - touring for me is the best."

It will be Minogue's first major tour since 2011's 'Aphrodite: Les Folies' tour, which included five nights at London's O2 Arena as well as a successful North American leg.

She has since played a limited number of intimate shows as part of last year's 'Anti Tour', which saw her perform a selection of rarities, B-sides and album tracks.

The star's 2014 tour is expected to include legs in the UK, Europe and the 45-year-old's native Australia. However, it is not yet known if dates are planned in the US.

Minogue teased new material with the release of buzz single 'Skirt' back in May.

Posted by: liamk97 26th July 2013, 01:37 PM

There's also no plans of a Jay-Z collaboration, confirmed by Kylie herself. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/entertainment/celebrity/kylie-minogue-planning-world-tour-2091221

It just occurred to me that Burn would have been the perfect comeback single for Kylie, her vocals on it would have sounded even better than Ellie's!

I do not want Kylie releasing a Leona Lewis reject, thank you. Besides, Burn is shit.

She has a banner advertising the album and some Valentine's Day picks she did on itunes, should get her a few more pre-orders.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 13th February 2014, 11:09 AM

yet it has. Back up to the 140-160 area on iTunes album chart. peaked at 10 on day of release. but we know downloads don't count for much... maybe around 500 sales so far?

the £45 limited edition has been increased from 2.5 to 3.5k so that must have sold well. Vinyl selling some. A lot of people download/buy from her website too so we really don't know those pre-order sales... Amazon and play.com now have both on pre-order....

I can see her with already at least 5-6k over pre-orders and that would already near enough give her a top 10 album, so don't worry the album will chart well.... the one thing worrying me is George Michael's comeback on the same week and the Elvis Presley album who will always sell well. but I cannot see her not going top 5 on the week of release.

Posted by: mr_aly 13th February 2014, 11:48 AM

George Michael's is a live album isn't it? I'm sure he won't provide too much of a threat.

I'm sure this will be a #1 album, especially in this dire sales climate.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 13th February 2014, 11:55 AM

is it? don't know I think it is selling well so far... but who knows... We all know Kylie fans love physicals so hopefully they are waiting to pick it up at the local supermarket. I think the demise of HMV may hurt her a little too.... but it hurts everyone I guess.

I think her own website is where a lot of purchases will be made and hoping for both big pre-orders for single and album there.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 13th February 2014, 11:58 AM

Paloma Faith releasing 10th March and Sam Bailey 24th March so the gap is there

Posted by: liamk97 13th February 2014, 04:43 PM

I'm pretty sure George Michael's new album is a studio album, and I think that did better initially on pre-orders when it was added than Kylie. I'd like to hope Kylie does better as I think she's more relevant than George is, although George usually has big first week sales.

I suppose it's a good thing that they think there's better tracks than 'Into the Blue' as generally everyone on Buzzjack loves that. From this review, I'm getting the impression this album could be similar to X in terms of there being a handful of highlights with a few alright tracks (and perhaps amazing songs that didn't make the final cut).

'Sexy Love' and 'If Only' sound AMAZING

Posted by: Red Blooded Man 17th February 2014, 12:39 PM

The middle three songs are meh from the first listen, and I will definitely skip "Beautiful" as the vocoder sounds TOO annoying.

The rest is amazing, obvious singles should be "Million Miles", "Les Sex" & "I was gonna cancel".

The title track is brilliant, and Fine is amazing.

Posted by: Jark 17th February 2014, 01:25 PM

The highlights sound like Fine, Feels So Good, Beautiful and possibly Sexercize. Les Sex sounds really flat on record. Overall it has an unfortune Aphodite vibe, ie. a little too safe.

Posted by: mr_aly 17th February 2014, 02:11 PM

'Sexercize' sounds like a horrific mess!

'Feels So Good' sounds pretty amazing, I agree 'Les Sex' doesn't sound quite as good here as the vocals aren't as lively in the chorus as in the live version.

I'm still excited for the whole album and will see how it is in full...

Sexercise feels like a Nu-Di-Ty moment for me, most people hate it but I adore it

For me, it's like having X II but this version is better.

Posted by: liamk97 17th February 2014, 04:34 PM

Kylie's handwriting isn't so good - I misread 'If Only' as 'Honey'.

I do like the sound of 'Les Sex', I think that will be my favourite (aside from 'Into the Blue') I think 'Sexercize' will sound good in full.

It is quite a safe album and not much of a step away from Aphrodite which I was expecting back when 'Skirt' premiered, but I think I'll still enjoy it.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 17th February 2014, 08:10 PM

4th listen to the sample and they are all growing... even Sexy Love I am loving now.....

stand out favourites are

Feel So Good, Les Sex, Million Miles, Fine, Into The Blue, I Was Gonna Cancel

need more listens - Kiss Me Once, If Only and Sexercise

I know I am biased but I actually love it!!

Big headphones on... volume up high.... sounds quality!!!

Posted by: slowdown73 17th February 2014, 10:15 PM

Heard the clips a couple of times. Bit of a mixed bag. I can see the comparison to X. I'm afraid this era is shaping up to be a disappointment for me compared to Aphrodite.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 17th February 2014, 10:46 PM

I really cannot understand how people think Aphrodite was soooooo good? The best song by far was Get Outta My Way, the rest was pop but throw away. All the lovers only did well because of all the promo and the lead single....

This album to me is really current, great beats, great sound, Kylie sounds high quality and very polished.

Posted by: Aphrodite 18th February 2014, 01:35 AM

It really boils down to personal taste, get outta my way would be one of the weakest tracks on aphrodite for me where all the lovers would rate among one of Kylies best singles ever for me, i dont think all its success was down the promo and that it was a lead single i think the song just caught on with people and thats why its ended up one of her bigger selling singles all round.

I haven't listened to the previews of the new album, i heard the clip of les sex and i have heard the 2 singles but i have decided to wait until the album is released until i listen to the others as it will be something to look forward to, but what fro what i have heard so far i have mixed feelings and im not sure what kind of album to expect.

I will probably get mauled for saying this but from the material i have heard so far i dont think it will an album that will do anything extra for Kylie, i had hoped that Kylie was gonna come back with a bang with this album but i think the best we can hope for is an era of the same success as aphrodite. I do think she needed a stronger lead singe than Into The Blue, while i like it i dont think it screams huge hit at all. I do hope im wrong, im a long term fan and love to see her do well but for me from what i have heard there is some Kylie magic missing, now that could also mean that the people who usually dont buy Kylie may do so this time.

And i will also say i have only heard 3 tracks so the rest of the album could be killer tracks for me, if the album does have strong tracks it is essential the right singles are picked and not have a repeat of X where 2 potential big hits never happened.

Meh, I found the album a bit bland on the first listen, will take a few more listens to be a grower on me. Only "Million Miles", "I was gonna cancel" & "Les Sex" have single potential. "If only" & "Fine" are brilliant!

I will definitely cancel "Beautiful" on my spotify playlist.

Overall, it's okay but a definite disappointment for a Kylie album. To me, a lot of the material is inoffensive and nice, but none of it has completely wowed me. I can see some of the songs growing on me more, but as an overall album, it doesn't leave much of an impression. Sorry Kylie

I liked the album. It's safe and nice and she knows no point in making the Rihanna or Katy Perry style of music because at 45, she doesn't attract that kind of audience anymore anyway. This album doesn't break any barriers or anything, but comes across as a mature pop/dance effort. It's not embarrassing like MDNA was, and not wannabe as well.

My favourites are the PWL'y title track and album closer Fine. I also loved "Feels so good". The most disappointing was "Sexercise" because the clips made it sound so much promising, but looks like all the good bits of the song were delivered in the clip itself. To me it's a posher more well structured Nudity.

I am seriously loving this album.

I was Gonna Cancel and Les Sex are early faves but all of it is great. Just a slight lean towards rnb and it has made a welcome change. Still resolutely Kylie but not as pop as Aphrodite. The songs are definitely stronger sonically. A really solid quality collection.

The only minor gripe I have is the at times sqeaky, girly vocals. She can do better but think it would put off casual fans.

For some reason, "Sexy Love" has that "Feel so good" vibe (her version, not AK) and "Kiss me once" feels like a Christmas song with the jingle bell sound.

Posted by: mr_aly 17th March 2014, 07:22 PM

Thankfully this is a LOT better than the clips suggested (that'll teach me), I honestly like the whole album aside from 'Sexercize' and 'Beautiful' (which is a reasonable enough song aside from the really grating vocodered bits).

Highlights are (in order): Into The Blue (obvs), Sexy Love, Les Sex, Feels So Good, I Was Gonna Cancel, Fine, Million Miles

'Sexy Love' is a MUST for single release, and why is 'Sleeping With The Enemy' not on the main album? That was a silly decision.

So yeah, pleased with this. It's not an amazing album and is quite "business as usual" for Kylie but not a disappointment and I'm sure it'll grow on me more.

Posted by: mr_aly 18th March 2014, 12:58 PM

I think she stands a good chance, can't call it at this stage though.

Thankfully 'Sexercize' is not the second single, it's just a side project thingy she shot a video for. 'Beautiful' is the definite second single (not that that's much better).

Posted by: pippa 18th March 2014, 02:05 PM

Beautiful will flop hard, why they are going this route is totally over my head. The record company need to take note off the reviews and fans opinions,if they did they would clearly know this is not the route to go.

Posted by: mr_aly 18th March 2014, 02:07 PM

She won't get hit singles at this stage anyway, I suppose they're relying on the fact it's a collaboration (not that it'll work).

I just hope they don't halt the campaign at two singles.

Posted by: slowdown73 18th March 2014, 11:41 PM

Not that impressed with kiss me once. There are some good tracks but a lot of tracks which I don't care much for and I feel she has lost something with this album.

HOT video. Daaaaamn!

Still can't warm to that song though.

Posted by: pippa 19th March 2014, 09:37 AM

This campaign is starting to crumble before it starts. The promotion is not in sync at all and as a result the album is going to lose out on number 1, bad single strategies will result in no major hit and a disconnect in album sales. Four years waiting and returns with a shambolic release and promotion strategy is extremely underwhelming and bitterly disappointing.

Posted by: Jark 19th March 2014, 10:32 AM

How about enjoying the music instead? Kylie has been in the industry 26 years. She's endured flops more catastrophic than this in that time, and some of those were among her very best work. Ultimately she has nothing to prove anymore, and anyway this campaign is not DOA. She's still getting a #2 album, performing the next single on The Voice, unleashing a bunch of videos, belatedly starting promo. No need to go into panic mode just yet.

Posted by: Regina 19th March 2014, 10:37 AM

It's like a Parlo version of Impossible Princess and we all know that is her finest work.

Posted by: JosephSimpson 19th March 2014, 11:00 AM

I LOVE THIS ALBUM. Not sure where I'd rank it amongst her other ones as I've not heard them all, and I've not listened to the ones I have heard in quite a while (plus it's a bit too early for that right now I guess), but it's a VERY strong and consistent album for the most part. Into the Blue, Sexy Love and If Only are my highlights, not sure what else as nothing stands out massively to me, but as a whole it's very enjoyable. Beautiful is a crap choice for single 2 though, it's gonna do absolutely nothing...

The video for 'Sexercize' has helped boost my opinion on the song, to be honest I'd go as far as saying it would make a good single!

'Sleeping with the Enemy' reminds me slightly of Emeli Sande's 'Heaven' in terms of the beat.

Only 22K... sales is a bit disappointing...

Posted by: aeroco 22nd March 2014, 08:37 AM

Yes the sales are very underwhelming. Thought she would sell double. She has been working very hard to promote but press interviews aren't the same as appearing on chat shows to sing or talk about the album. The Voice filming commitments in Aus must be draining. How does she cope with those flights. That said, her profile is super high and so that will give her more opportunities to keep the album in the spotlight on prime time TV for much longer.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 22nd March 2014, 08:56 AM

Kiss Me Once currently number 1 on Amazon mp3 at 4.99....

I am hoping she can sneak 30k but probably 27-28k

still hopefully The Voice Promo will keep it top 10 next week.

Posted by: slowdown73 22nd March 2014, 11:00 AM

Kiss me once is unlikely to shift 50% of the amount Aphrodite did in its first week and given her high profile on the voice and change of management, I think its pretty underwhelming. I'd be interested for someone to clarify the first week sales for her other Parlophone studio albums. I think they were something like this;

Light Years 42K
Fever 140K
Body Language 69K
X 84K
Aphrodite 80K

Hi Guys

I have been reading all your comments for years now and at this point feel compelled to join in. I have been a fan of Kylie's for 27 years now every since those Neighbours days. The point about being a fan is to embrace and love all the work that she does. Kiss Me Once sales - who cares - she has created her longevity the industry respect Kylie and there will always be something exciting on the horizon for her. Another point is that the awareness of Kiss Me Once is a global one not just UK based - Kylie has already secured a Number 1 in OZ and there will be solid sales across many countries. Lets enjoy the KISS ME ONCE year and all that this has in store - more videos - TV shows - remixes - new vinyls and of course the TOUR !!! The music is excellent and sounds really fresh a move that was needed and is sterling start from ROC Nation - keeping Kylie, Kylie whilst still moving it forward. Sexercise is a WOW whilst Into The blue is such a perfect Kylie Song - now go back listen to the music and enjoy without the worry

Good News all Kylie Fans..... Into The Blue is returning like a Phoenix.....

its up from 31 to 23 on ITunes already since Sport Relief and I think we may see a Into The Blue/Sexercize mash up on The Voice tonight......

I think it could stay top 25 now tomorrow in the Charts and hopefully a couple more weeks top 40

Next Saturday will all be about Beautiful..... both Kylie and Enrique will be on BBC Radio 2 with G Norton and then pretty sure a Voice performance later in the day.......

I hope after "Beautiful" is released that she brings out Les Sex & I Was Gonna Cancel as the 3rd and 4th singles as they are awesome.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 23rd March 2014, 10:47 PM

I think bring Beautiful out next weekend then just try sell the album through the next few weeks..... then let her go to Australia and then comeback in June with a fresh single.... maybe I was gonna cancel for the summer..... and featuring Pharrel would differ it from the album version etc.....

Posted by: pippa 24th March 2014, 09:08 AM

If Beautiful has any chance of doing anything it needs promotion and performances. Does Enrique usually do much promotion in the UK? If both promoted at separate times due to scheduling they could use guest performances to do the duet or perform solo, all would boost its performance.

It seems to me that the best people can expect/are expecting is a chart run to similar to Light Years but on a smaller scale with much less copies sold. It's initial chart run went: 02-07-14-19-28-38-51-70- and went on to spend a while in the charts with a couple of returns to the Top 40.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 24th March 2014, 10:51 PM

It's done well without a lead single though as ITB did nothing over there, and they did nothing for it. Remember she did one performance of "Get Outta My Way"

She is on BBC Radio 2 on Saturday promoting Beautiful with Enrique Iglesias.... I wouldn't be surprised if they sing the song on the Voice Results show also.......

She is singing ITB with her contestants too on the main show..... hope it sounds good.......

I read on another thread that there is less than 1000 sales between 6th and 12th in the midweeks. She will need to sell consistently to keep top 10 as ITB has stopped getting airplay etc.

I really dont want to see a number 2 debut to out of the top 10.

Fever #21 in France? How strange.

Les love, Les Sex. Les top ten beats X.

I bet X would've had bigger sales though. French sales now are dans la toilette, non?

Posted by: Hayzayy 26th March 2014, 05:45 PM

Fever had a shit peak but great longevity and MASSIVE radio hits
X did better than Aphrodite sales wise because In your arms and Wow had very good radio airplay in France, while Aphrodite could only rely on All the lovers.

It's actually weird to see how big of an icon she is in France when her sales are quite poor since 'Fever'.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 26th March 2014, 07:07 PM

down to 9 in midweeks and Into The Blue to 35

but Into The Blue is down to 47 on iTunes now and I expect it to be already out of the official top 40..... She will sing it as a duet on Saturday on The Voice so lets see if that has any affect

as for KMO...well next week should be a good week for it, but this week it looks to be dropping out of the top 10

Posted by: mr_aly 27th March 2014, 09:20 PM

Debuted at #31 in the US, sold just over 11k I think.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 27th March 2014, 11:29 PM

Still 9 in Thursday's midweek updates.....

Elton 10th and Shakira 11th.... hope she can stay top 10 ...but will be tight
