I can certainly see why her debut would be perceived as stronger, it just comes back to the way I feel about Madonna's 'Like a Virgin'. Also, much like that album, I think some of the post-production spoils it, like her voice has been pitched higher and some of the tracks don't feel as polished as they should be.

There are many similarities with enjoy yourself and her debut and i can honestly say i still love both, but there was progress made from her debut to enjoy yourself and it gives the album the edge. Rhythm of love to follow really kept that great momentum going with solid great albums.

Been listening on REPEAT today and it is definitely growing on me. 'Heaven and Earth' in particular. I like the album a lot more now, but still a distant second from the debut but I'll accept that I'm alone with that thought

Enjoy Yourself is the better against her debut but 50% of the fans would disagree.
I see Enjoy Yourself as Kylie's second best album of her career with Light Years first. |

I've always loved her first 3 album but for years rhythm of love was my fave album until light years came along but over the last 10 -15 years enjoy yourself is level with ROL.

I agree! Not all songs include the title in the lyrics anyway. It also shows what a machine SAW was with album packaging being produced before the records were even finished, or maybe that's the way most album process went, especially if they wanted to release in time for the Christmas period.

‘Hand On Your Heart’ was released 34 years ago today and became Kylie’s 3rd UK #1 with a chart run of 2-1-2-2-4-11-18-29-35-53-62.

Such a great kylie time, great memories although hand on your heart due to a mix up was robbed of making a number 1 debut which was a big thing back then.

^^ I would have been more frustrated if the barcode issue had robbed it totally of being #1 - would have been nice for it to achieve 2 weeks at the top but at least it managed it the following week.

The retail price for the cassette was lower than chart rules allowed so some sales were disqualified - it would have debuted at #1 otherwise and Kylie would have been the first female to have a single debut at #1.
'Hand On Your Heart' isn't one I really return to but it is very feel-good, the epitome of the 'smiley Kylie' 80s PWL era. |

I can't believe how they hashed that up! Fools
Still, at least it did sneak a week in. |

Ya if it never made number 1 due to the error I'd be fuming. |

Great Classic Pop article
“ The second album from Kylie Minogue, Enjoy Yourself, may have been a magnet for critical sneers, but written solely with the fans in mind, it still sold by the truckload…” https://www.classicpopmag.com/2023/12/album...tm_medium=email |

I'd have loved it as a single and would have even loved a double a single including I'm over dreaming over you.
The album in general is undervalued in her discography which is a shame as I've always been a big fan of the album. |

Same, I love the album - I guess a lot is due to nostalgia but it’s such a good pop album that I still listen to and enjoy now. Very underrated and overlooked in Kylie’s back catalogue. |
