QUOTE Kylie Minogue's Official Top 40 Biggest Selling Songs 06 April 2018 | By Justin Myers It's the ultimate Kylie chart - Official Charts reveals her top UK sellers of all time. 2018 is a big year for Kylie – she celebrates the 30th anniversary of her first ever UK hit, massive Number 1 I Should Be So Lucky, and she's also set to turn 50 in May. Not only that, she's still knocking pop tunes out of the park with the release of fourteenth studio album Golden. Before we head to the future, let's wallow in nostalgia and look back at Kylie's almost unmatchable catalogue of hits. She's had fifty Top 40s over the course of her career, with 34 going Top 10 and seven making it to Number 1 – but there's only room for 40 here, as we count down her biggest selling songs. See where all of Kylie Minogue's UK hit singles and albums have charted here. I Should Be So Lucky It all started here. Thanks to Stock Aitken Waterman, Kylie topped the chart for five straight weeks in early 1988 with this lovelorn banger. It's her third biggest seller, notching up 702,850 sales. Especially For You Giving the public what they wanted at Christmas, Kylie teamed up with rumoured real-life love and actual Neighbours co-star Jason Donovan for this smoochy, syrup-laden ballad. Thanks to Cliff Richard, it missed the Official Christmas Number 1 but did hit the top in early 1989. It became Kylie's second million-selling single when it finally passed the magic milestone in December 2014, and currently stands at 1.009 million sales. Better the Devil You Know Kylie's first reinvention saw her ditch the "girl next door" image and embrace a more, well, "girl two doors down who's got a tattoo and plays her music a bit too loud and drinks straight from the bottle" image. One of her many Number 2 singles – she has 12 to her name – Better the Devil You Know is in eighth place on her all-time chart with 340,000 copies sold. Confide In Me It was all change for Kylie in 1994 when she waved bye-bye to Stock Aitken Waterman and explored her creative side with a new record label, a wealth of collaborators queuing to work with her and a new sound. First up was this spooky epic, which has shifted 189,000 copies and finished 17th. Spinning Around A huge comeback, but 11 songs refused to move out of her way, Spinning Around from 2000 finishes outside the Top 10, with 314,000 sales. Read our interview with the producer of Spinning Around, Mike Spencer, here. Can't Get You Out Of My Head Here's the big one! Kylie cemented that comeback in fine style with this dance-pop juggernaut from 2001, spending three weeks at the top and racking up incredible sales to land her first million-seller. Can't Get You Out Of My Head la-la-lands at the top of her bestsellers' list, with 1.205 million of you finding a place for it in your hearts. All the Lovers Kylie's most recent Top 10 may have ended up peaking at 3 in the charts, but this 2010 single certainly made an impression, selling more than many of her Number 1s and all but one of her Number 2s, so to speak. 383,000 copies sold take it to sixth spot on the Kylie kountdown. Dancing Coming right up to date, while the lead single from Kylie's new album Golden is a little too recent to make a dent on her Top 40, it currently sits in 50th position. Other notable tracks and chart facts 1989 chart-topper Hand on Your Heart (4th) has shifted 494,000 copies, and Kylie's biggest selling Number 2 single, The Loco-Motion (in 5th place) has sold 434,000. Kylie's most recent Number 1 Slow, from 2003, is her lowest selling chart-topper, on 135,000 copies. Her biggest selling song to miss the Top 5 is 1991's What Do I Have to Do at 25 (136,000 sales), and to miss the Top 10 is 2010's Get Outta My Way at 28 (100,000 sales). Kylie's biggest selling album track is the infamous Your Disco Needs You, which finished 52nd in her all-time chart. Check out our 50 golden chart facts about Kylie Minogue here.

"Higher" so successful is shocking indeed! Other surprises:
"Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi" ahead of "Got To Be Certain" "Give Me Just A Little More Time" ahead of "Tears On My Pillow" "Slow" so low |

I'm assuming these are without streaming, as All The Lovers would be over 400,000 and Santa Baby MUCH higher (around no. 18 I believe). Impressed that GOMW has shifted 100,000 and that Into The Blue makes it into the top 40

I was hoping we'd get a list like this! A few surprises/errors:
Surprised at 'Higher' above 'All the Lovers' - the former sold 293k by the end of 2012 so has managed about another 100k since then. Don't know whether that seems like a reasonable amount or not, as 'All the Lovers' has sold 67k since 2010, despite being more popular on iTunes for trickle selling and sharing some sales with the Abbey Road version. 'Give Me Just a Little More Time' has definitely been inflated, as it only sold an estimated 161k in 1992. Some of her other 90s singles have been downgraded by the looks of things, with 'Shocked' slipping under the 100k mark. However, it seems #28 to #35 are quite tight anyway, with 'Please Stay' on 85k as of June 2009, so 'Shocked' can't be that far from 100k. 'Get Outta My Way' on 100k was a pleasant surprise - that's an extra 30k since it left the chart, but I suppose it has become a pride anthem so nothing unreasonable. |

Some of the things in the write-up are factually incorrect, such as the amount of #2s she's had and how many weeks CGYOMH spent at #1.

I wonder if part of the reason why Deconstruction singles are lower on this list is because it only got one release.
Back then during the PWL years I bought Kylie's singles as 7" & 12", later changed to 7" & CD maxi. After her big comeback there were two versions of her CD singles and I bought both. I'm sure there are other fans who bought a single in every version, but Deconstruction didn't offer much, so it couldn't sell as much as PWL singles. |

It seems they amended the original article, and the ranking of higher vs all the lovers is actually wrong, as they now mention ins the article the following:
"Her biggest selling song to miss the Top 5 is 2008's Higher with Taio Cruz at 8 (338,000), and to miss the Top 10 is 2010's Get Outta My Way at 28 (100,000 sales)" Another error Get outta my way was a top 20 right? |

Thanks, that makes much more sense as I had it on 293k to the end of 2011. Yeah, 'Get Outta My Way' was a Top 20, but the article doesn't dispute that? |

They say "Her biggest selling song to miss [...] to miss the Top 10 is 2010's Get Outta My Way at 28 (100,000 sales)" At 28? They really had like so many errors in that article, I hope the ranking is reliable as it seems they messed up a lot. |
