I've grown used to 'Bittersweet Goodbye' being on there and I guess it's placed in the best position it could be, following 'Please Stay' which has a more melancholy feel to it than most of the album and preceding 'Butterfly' which has an intro that reminds me of the dawn (which is referred to in 'Bittersweet Goodbye'). I just think there could have been a more suitable track to act as a 'break' from the fun fast paced songs.

Bittersweet Goodbye and Fragile from Fever are both breaks in the albums that work extremely well when listening to the albums. With that said, has she ever performed any of these two tracks live as i dont ever recall seeing any performances of the songs.

'Bittersweet Goodbye' just makes me wince, I've never been able to sit through it without doing so.

I've never seen Fragile as the Fever equivalent of Bittersweet Goodbye; it sounds sonically similar to other songs and there are a couple of other slower paced songs. Bittersweet Goodbye was performed on the Anti Tour btw. She nailed it too. |

Thanks for finding that out, Jay! I didn't expect it to have passed 500k but I had hoped it might have been a tad higher.
That's 12k in 9 years. I suppose we can assume Body Language is on ~410k and X is on ~470k in that case? |

Do you have the Top 200 chart runs of other singles that Kylie has appeared on (Band Aid II - Do They Know It's Christmas, Helping Haiti - Everybody Hurts, Brian Wilson & Various Artists - God Only Knows, Scissor Sisters - Any Which Way (Kylie on backing vocals) and will.i.am feat Pia Mia - Boys & Girls (this samples Break This Heartbreak))?

Will be nice if it helps out but I'm sure they're usually priced quite cheap anyway.

Just went in to HMV Oxford St and they have a decent display of Hits + in the offers section from £7.99 to £4.99 - I know it’s usally around this price anyway but good it’s getting some exposure, would love to know it’s updated sales.

Ooh good that it's on display. It's a great collection that probably doesn't get as much attention as some of the others so I'm happy it's got that exposure on top of the discount.

Just reviewing Kylie's sales... I wouldn't be surprised if 'I Believe in You' was certified Silver before the year is out. It has a similar amount of UK streams and sales to 'On a Night Like This' which went Silver earlier this year.
That will probably be her last certification in the singles for quite a while though. Even accounting for streams, I think 'Spinning Around' and 'Higher' are too far off from Gold and 'Slow' stands a better chance at reaching Silver sooner than '2 Hearts', but is still a way off too. Can't see anything from her albums reaching new certifications either. I don't think Ultimate Kylie shifts many copies now (Amazon only seem to be selling second hand copies) and it's not on Spotify. The 2012 Best of Kylie probably shifts reasonably well in comparison to the rest of her discography but that too is not on Spotify (although it used to be) so Gold may be a way off. |

Same as LY - 2,500 so could chart highly as judging by the amount on eBay the album will be a total sell out.

Both 'Shocked' & 'If You Were With Me Now' have sold over 100k back on their original releases, found this list Top 150 Best Selling Stock Aitken and Waterman Singles and according to that they sold 106,900 & 100,300 respectively, don't know how much they've sold now, but those are what I found.
The list features 17 of her PWL singles (by far the most entries on that list), and strangely no 'Word Is Out' or 'Celebration', considering the list begins at 45,000, they both must have sold really low during their original releases. Anyway I've decided to list all of Kylie's entries on that list with their original sales figures. 05. ESPECIALLY FOR YOU [Ft Jason Donovan] = 856,100 06. I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY = 659,700 14. HAND ON YOUR HEART = 424,900 16. THE LOCOMOTION = 356,700 21. WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING = 333,200 36. JE NE SAIS PAS POURQUOI = 288,600 39. GOT TO BE CERTAIN = 276,400 44. TEARS ON MY PILLOW = 249,100 46. BETTER THE DEVIL YOU KNOW = 234,100 57. NEVER TOO LATE = 186,000 77. STEP BACK IN TIME = 148,300 81. GIVE ME JUST A LITTLE MORE TIME = 139,800 85. WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO = 133,400 100. SHOCKED = 106,900* 104. IF YOU WERE WITH ME NOW [FT Keith Washington] = 100,300* 141. FINER FEELINGS = 48,000 145. WHAT KIND OF FOOL (HEARD ALL THAT BEFORE) = 46,000 This post has been edited by SamJudd: 22nd September 2018, 12:47 AM |

There are a few different estimates for Kylie's PWL singles. I've tried to base my current estimates on the list that the OCC recently revealed. Some chart enthusiasts may (rightfully) disagree with the OCC but this way keeps things consistent and the sales at least seem correct relatively speaking (aside from Give Me Just a Little More Time which has certainly been overestimated - by about double, I believe - and I have left out of my list for the meantime).
