Source?
It's time for a Christmas album really.
Its been confirmed by inside sources on pop justice and Say Hey
I won't believe anything until she cofirms it herself.
Normally I would agree but the source on Sayhey is rarely wrong, I hope this time he is
She's got nothing to lose from doing a X-mas album though. It's not like anything else she does will be much of a success.
Besides, people love Santa Baby and Let It Snow.
Something jazzy/orchestral with a few new songs and some duets would be nice. If promoted like the Abby Road Sessions she could possibly get another Gold album.
Ready for The North Pole Sessions tbh.
Its embarrassing, cringy and cheesy, for years ive always said I was happy she didn't lower herself to do something like this
Not if handled properly. Kelly Clarkson's one is stunning and Leona Lewis's helped her regain much needed limelight and success,
In general I hate Christmas albums so I hope it's not true. If it is true and it is promoted well it could outsell kiss me once. It's an album I would purchase to keep my collection complete but its likely I'd wait to purchase until going cheap.
Your Christmas Needs You better be a thang. Casino Dance remix ofc.
Spinning Around The Christmas Tree
Red Blooded Reindeer
Xmascize
Get Outta My Sleigh
On A Winters Night Like This
I Believe In You (Santa Remix)
Get Outta My Sleigh is genius.
Miseltoe On My Pillow
Into The Snow
Where The Wild Turkies Grow (Feat Santa Nick Cave)
I should be so merry
Put your hand on the Christmas tree
Better the snowman you know
Into the White
Can't get the turkey out of my head
Come Into My Grotto
Kiss Me Once (Under The Misletoe)
No More Snow
Oh my God, you guys!
I agree that a Kylie Christmas album could work perfectly if handled the right way. Certainly could do with an original song as lead single a la Kelly and Leona.
Oh my god some of those song titles.
Can't get the stuffing out of my head
Confide in Santa
On a silent night like this
Better the Rudolph you know
All the Santa
Gift it to me
Spinning around the Christmas tree
Come into my new year
Red blooded turkey
Love at first gift
Like a gift
The tree
Okay, some of these are really shit, learn when to quit y'all.
She isn't relevent though and hasn't been for years now.
I can think of so many artists in recent time who released an X-mas album early on in their careers and it working well for them. Just because you don't want her
to do it, doesn't mean that nobody wants it.
Saying "no fans" want this is utter bollocks when there are people in this very thread who would want one.
Josh Groban, Michael Buble, Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis all had success with their Christmas albums.
ok 99% of her fans don't want a Christmas album, this is based on her main forum say hey, not a few fans on here.
Kelly Clarkson did well in America/Canada, not surprising, most her stuff does, bombed in every other market massively though, and yeah ill give you Leona, only because of that great single which I hope Kylie will have, a classic Christmas album, as for the other 2, mums annual Christmas prezzies lol
I just don't think that if you are trying to be relevant which she does on every album recently, this will not help, final nail in the coffin after the brilliant abbey road album.
I was all excited about the new kylie era with Fernando Garibay, was hoping it may give her a boost musically, make her maybe slightly cooler (wouldn't take much lol), then I heard about a bloody Christmas album
SayHey is full of nutters tho, horrible place to visit.
If Kylie were to do an album like Michael or Josh then it'd be much better received than if she did a Mariah though, Kylie always gets praise for her more classical sounding stuff. Besides, Michael and Josh have a much wider appeal than just Mums and anyway is that such a bad thing when you see how much they have both sold? Kylie would KILL for an album to sell millions of copies.
She hasn't been trying to be relevent with her recent albums, she hasn't been trying full stop.
I do not think a Christmas album would be the right move for Kylie. Kylie needs to concentrate on brand new music and work out the direction she wants to go for the future. I would suggest she works harder on a brand new album as she vastly needs to improve on what she delivered with Kiss Me Once.
Apparently this Christmas album is to be disco influenced: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a657977/kylie-minogue-is-apparently-going-to-release-a-christmas-album-of-disco-hits.html#~pikGNqdtHnhkRz So the same sound she's done the past 15 years!
Cover something from RuPaul's Ho Ho Ho pls *.*
So "Your Christmas Disco Needs You" is coming after all...
I don't know what all the fuss is about in terms of Kylie doing a Christmas album. I think we should be grateful to be getting another album. It might do well and then again it might not but I'm just happy we are getting some new material. Christmas albums can work well for some artists. Celine Dion did well with hers in the 90s.
Celine Dion was at the height of her career though.
I can't say the prospect of this enthuses me greatly, but at least it's something and will make the festive season that extra bit more special for me this year.
I could see it maybe doing okay for her, I'm confident it'll outsell Kiss Me Once at any rate.
Celine Dion was huge in the era she released her Christmas album,that said,it did not chart too highly in the UK, considering at that time she was selling a million plus with each album released her Christmas album very much under performed.
It went Gold, not Platinum.
If Kylie and her team could come up with a decent brand new Christmas song she could do well and as Mr Aly said the album should outsell Kiss Me Once at any rate.
Abbey Road Sessions didn't go Platinum and that came out towards the end of the year
Christmas style albums can struggle unless they get the right exposure but Buble has sold over 2 million of his xmas album so they can do well.
Ugh. Way to go Kylie. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a669234/kylie-has-apparently-recorded-a-christmas-single-with-james-corden.html#~poE75n1McnGL8x
Part of me thinks "WTF YOU STUPID HOBBIT WOMAN" but then, he is pretty big in America, so this might get her some much needed suport? He'd surely have her on
his show, loads of artists have been getting big boosts after that car Karaoke thing.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
It's nice to see that she's having fun at least, she knows real success is a pipedream at this point so is doing what she wants.
True, although being trapped in a small recording room for hours on end with James flaming Corden wouldn't be my first idea of fun!
Maybe he had snacks.
We'll just have to wait and see.
Oh, that repulses me so much.
I can't stand him.
Duet with James Corden on the way ............ Could do well for the festive season....
What other season would a Christmas duet do well in, summer?
If (very big IF) he can help Kylie bag another top 10 to her name I'd possibly overlook his involvement. Otherwise, it's of no use to me.
The more I hear about this forthcoming album, the less excitement I feel. A wham cover and a duet with James Cordon? Hardly inspiring stuff.
Announcement due tomorrow, I assume its about the Christmas album

The cover is amazing and Steve Anderson has produced the album so I will certainly buy this. She is also doing a one off show at Royal Albert Hall just before Christmas.
Iggy Pop? really?
I'm not familiar with some of those titles, any new ones?
Mullo, I just edited in the cover and release date, to make it a but more official, hope that's okay.
OMG THERE'S KYLIE WRAPPING PAPER TOO
I've merged the topics.
I'm quite looking forward to 'Christmas Wrapping', I was hoping she'd do that. The prospect of a James Corden duet repulses me though, I won't lie.
Wasn't bothered at first but now I'm really looking forward to it, its gonna be fun and cheesy yes but hey its Christmas an its Kylie
Really looking forward to this! Fantastic to see a song with Dannii too!
Also, he cover of Santa Baby is just *.*
Ooh, some inspired covers there opposed to the typical classics - 'I'm Gonna Be Warm This Winter', '2000 Miles' (YES!!) and 'Oh Santa!' (the Mariah Carey flop? ).
Do Christmas albums count as studio albums then? If so, this is Kylie's 13th. Watch this out-sell Kiss Me Once!
If it is the Mariah song... omg!
Actually quite looking forward to this album, should be a fun listen.
Kylie to defeat the odds and go to #1 over One Direction and Justin Bieber. *.*
Cried Out Christmas to be a heartbreaking power ballad with bells please.
Does anyone else love the cover? She looks amazing!
It's a very unflattering angle for her face and she looks like she stole Macklemore's hair stylist.
She seems to be going all out on this release and its likely it will out sell kiss me once. I know it will be an album that in large I won't like as im not a fan of these types of albums but il buy it and give it a go. Thank god she hasn't covered the horrid last Christmas as I was horrified by the rumour it would be the lead single and feature Dannii. If she does loads of promo and against the odds gets a hit this could sell on the same lines of Abbey road which isn't bad.
Hoping my Albert Hall friends can sneak me in. They did for Janet 4 years ago
Or you could just do what everyone else does and buy a ticket.
The only venue I need to buy for is The O2 Arena
Good for you.
Didn't she sell out super quickly? I saw people complaining about Seatwave sellers?
THIS should have been the album cover
I am very excited by this......
really good tunes.... should get quite a good 6 weeks of sales and also expect very good streaming numbers etc not just this year but in the future......now what will she sing on Strictly/X-factor? and also the Royal Albert Hall gig should make a TV apprarance though maybe not until Xmas 2016...........
If her royal albert hall gig is televised or even part of it, it would give sales a great boost. Regina i agree that pic should have been the cover.
Ooh, I hope there are plans to record/televise the Royal Albert Hall concert.
I don't massively like the cover, personally. Even for a Christmas album it's just much too saccharine. A lot of the stuff that's unlikable about Kylie to the young generation is represented in that artwork.
How so? She's stood infront of a glittery K, there's nothing overly sentimental or OTT about the cover. It's just a bad angle and overly photoshopped.
I find it very fake. It's not a sentimental type of saccharine, but it has that "Look how lovely and happy I always am" quality to it that I find Kylie has had a real overabundance of recently (most notably in interviews, but her more notable recent singles too). I don't think "Kylie is so lovely" is something that really washes with people anymore, it always feels so forced with her.
She's always been that way though. She is a genuinely happy and lovely person.
I know that, I'm certainly not accusing her of being a bad person or whatever. I just think it's got to the point where her loveliness is one-dimensional to the point of making one wonder why exactly it's the only thing we ever really see from her. Of course, she has made efforts to show other sides to her recently with big parts of the KMO album for one part, but not many people actually got to experience that.
Part of Kylie's appeal has always been "she's so nice!" but I feel like as she heads into this stage of her career, where the other parts of her personality are less in demand (she's not a sex symbol anymore, stuff like 'Sexercise' doesn't excite the public now), the nice factor gets pushed to the forefront so much that it starts to make her look bland.
We see plenty of other sides to her though, not just her niceness, I don't see what's wrong with being a nice person? You said she comes off as fake by being nice, but
if she was to change herself to not be nice then she IS going to come off as fake, everyone knows and loves her for being nice. You don't go to Kylie to see her shade another popstar or swear on live tv etc.
Your KMO comment make me laugh, she never showed anything there she hasn't already, and in a better light.
I say she is still a sex symbol, to a different fanbase maybe, but she's still got it.
Course she will be doing TV appearances . 100% Strictly. probably G Norton, A Carr and maybe X-factor plus other stuff...... Children In Need the day after album release..... etc. She will want this album to go top 10 and stay around for Xmas and gain sales even if lower down chart.
The songs should get some very good Xmas streaming......
I am looking forward to Christmas Wrapping with Iggy Pop and also 100 degrees with Dannii.....
wonder if there will be a lead single? 6th Nov to early for a Xmas release? Maybe the J Corden will be released as its not just an Xmas record...
She needs to push the album and promote as much as possible. Kylie hasnt the selling power she once had so she needs to throw everything she can to do well which i think she can do. I would be happy if she can get another top 10 album with this, any higher is a bonus. I know very different artists, but Leona Lewis didnt get a top 10 with her Christmas album and she managed a decent sized hit which is probably unlikely to happen for Kylie.
Wanting to do promo and actually getting the promo are two different things. Shows will be less likely to book her to sing Christmas songs till mid to late December and by then, a lot of shows are off air.
She should get Strictly. She's got a good relationship with the Beeb.
Yeah, I'd say Strictly could be pretty likely. X Factor would be less likely but they did after all get her on the show to perform a decade-old hit that hadn't been transformed too much, plus she always gets a big reaction from the audience. Chat shows from Jonathan Ross, Graham Norton and Alan Carr will still be on during December and all three hosts seem to be fans. Kylie usually has decent promo in the lead up to Christmas and I suspect it shall be good this time.
I get what Umi is saying about Kylie and her nice image not appealing to younger audiences. Not that she has to be a bitch, I don't think there's anything wrong with the way she presents herself in interviews because people like it when celebrities are down to earth, just her things like her releases need to have a little bit of edge to them. I think the record company would have been better off at pushing 'Sexercise' as a single as the video I thought was genuinely sexy opposed to embarrassing, plus the music on her two EPs with Fernando Garibay have shown something a little more interesting.
Isn't Kylie Christmas her last release with Parlophone (I don't know what happened after the reports her contracted ended)? If so, then I think this is a good closing chapter and her Garibay collaborative EPs are a little taste of the future.
Her contract with Parlo has ended, this is a "one off" type thing.
I thought as much. Like I say, it's a good closing chapter as obviously a greatest hits would be pointless.
Especially after the turd that came out in 2012.
I'll never get over how 'Timebomb' wasn't included, not to mention how the tracking list that was supposedly chosen by the fans had 'Celebration' on it.
I suppose it's at least appealing to casual fans of her Parlophone work and the odd hit from 80s/90s.
Fans other than aly liked Celebration I do anyway.
I like it too but I just find it hard to believe fans would actually pick it when they have the rest of her singles discography to choose from (like '2 Hearts' for instance. ).
As far as I'm aware she 100% not with Parlo but she has a relationship with them that its open ended, she takes the project to them and they distribute it, should be interesting how the next album project goes in 2016, from what ive heard it all depends on how big the Christmas album is for them commercial.
She will easily get lots of Promo............ TV Shows love her
People might be less likely to book her to sing Christmas songs though.
Well she must've heard our criticism, she now changed the album artwork:
http://www.josepvinaixa.com/blog/kylie-minogue-kylie-christmas/
Surely one is for the standard and one for the deluxe? Either way the new one is leagues ahead of the other.
^ Correct. I don't mind the standard but the deluxe is much better. Would be buying the latter regardless though really.
For anyone who can't be arsed to click links:
Do you like the cover Regina?
From today's Daily Mail : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3268860/Kylie-Minogue-unveils-cover-art-forthcoming-festive-album.html
"This is going to be an ABSOLUTE CORKER and will sell by the bucket load year after year. Proof yet again that Kylie is the UNDISPUTED QUUEN OF POP and the ONLY ACT from the 80s who's STILL GOING STRONG and who's STILL HAVING HITS and who's STILL RELEVANT TODAY! What to go Kylie!"
SmileyKylie? Is that you?
I much prefer that new cover!
The New Cover>>>>>
It seems like Let It Snow and Santa Baby are the same versions we've already heard, no surprise tbh, but it'd be nice if she put other songs in their place.
I still think this album will struggle and might not even sell as much as kiss me once. I hope I'm wrong but Christmas albums can be difficult to market and Kylie is at a time in her career which is rapidly in decline.
Fair point slowdown,while i think it will sell more than Kiss Me Once, many Christmas albums have bombed for artists so it could go either way.
If Leona Lewis can sell decently then Kylie can. This won't sell like Rod Stewart or Michael Buble did, but it can still do decently. Plus, this is the sorta thing that will
gain sales year on year.
I saw a video of LIS on the web, of course it could just be the normal version with a pic of the cover but i doubt it
I think you will all be surprised by this.
She has some original material on here and a DVD with some fun videos. She knows how to package so fans buy multiple copies etc. She will get and actually do promo, she is not lazy like some artists who release Xmas music then don't promote etc. Her James Corden duet will get publicity easily, her Dannii duet also. Plus she has a RAH concert so she is in London and ready to work. Radios will play her Xmas, shops will play and many fans will buy this album to give to as presents , plus the usual Xmas market will shift a few extra sales easily.
Of course it only has a limited selling time as no one will want it after Xmas, until Xmas 2016 that is etc.....
Lets see
Well I'm looking forward to it
Looks like the RAH show will be televised in some format before Xmas too
I hope so, that should help matters.
Regina Regina..... Bah Humbug......
This is Kylie Christmas...... it is exactly the camp, extravagant music that most of her fans want. It will do ok. 13th November isn't that long away from Xmas .... we will be listening to Xmas songs by then.... J Corden will of course mention it, he has already tweeted he cannot wait for its release..... its 'Only You' so can be for XMas but also anytime of the year etc.
She's been doing camp, extravagant music for 15 years now and most are bored of it.
Kylie booked for TFI Friday very soon.... good promo already.....not sure if it is for Nervo or her Kylie Xmas.... probably the latter
Royal Variety Performance also now confirmed..... good stuff.... promo building
The bookings need to keep coming and Kylie needs to keep plugging.
2 spots over the entire Christmas period, hardly amazing, but better than nothing I guess
Is their not a single?
If there was, it'd have been posted already.
I imagine it'll be a case of promoting different songs at once (one sent to radio, one with a simple video, performances of a couple others etc.) instead of one song getting the single treatment.
Something camp would be fab! Your Disco Needs You in Xmas form!!!!!!
Yes a bit like Abbey Road. Different performances on each show
She is apparantly turning on the Oxford Street christmas lights. This cash in, jokey era is getting more promo than her last actual proper album.
New promo shot
Yes confirmed in her tweet and by Evening Standard she is doing Xmas lights.... EXCELLENT promo
Kylie Xmas Album out 13th November........ Children in Need 13th November.............. do I foresee a rendition of Only You by Kylie and James Corden.....
No.
Some kind of promo single really needs to start circulating soon
I agree...... those album releases are stacked for 6th,13th, 20th Nov..... I would like her to get a top 10 album but now am thinking more like top 20... but she can get promo to keep longevity until Xmas so lets see.....
TFI should be good promo, she needs Radio play from somewhere and a single.... Her James Corden duet could well be her saviour......
It is more likely to be the nail in the coffin for the album campaign. People will see it as nothing more than a naff jokey song.
Regina - why be so negative?
everyone has albums out in next few weeks. I think 13th Nov maybe a week to early, but at least it gets the songs streaming etc for the festive season. The James Corden song could do well and he has his talk show in USA so could pick up a few sales over there.
The original song certainly isn't a naff or jokey song, but I am trying to pretend that duet isn't actually happening. I seriously can't stand that man.
There isn't any hype around this, I've only seen passing mentions of it in news articles that are about her. I've thought for a while this will most likely not make the top 10.
I can see it clearing 10k which would usually be a guaranteed place in the Top 10 but, given the amount of releases for the 13th November, as well as Ellie and Little Mix' albums the week before and Elvis and Rod Stewart's albums out now which should all still be Top 10, it could miss out.
People will hear that she has a song with James Corden and go straight to "oh it's going to be naff, no thanks" no matter how good the original song is and no matter how
big his talk show is.
Kylie i would believe has a strong loyal fan base to get enough opening week sales to make the top 10.
Her loyal fanbase isn't big enough to get her to topple the other acts releasing that week though.
She could get quite good streaming figures... only takes 1 advert to use an Xmas song.... there are G Norton, A Carr, J Ross, X-factor, Strictly.... she s bound to get promo on at least 3 of those I would say.. usually One Show, ITV This morning, Lorraine all should get bits of promo even if she not actually in studios..... She has TFI and Royal Variety also.... she releases vinyl version 27th so should get around 1.5k extra that week. Also radio play.... she is bound to get some.... she needs to release a single next Friday really but it is too early for an Xmas single? so maybe no lead single, especially as she has 6 videos on the CD deluxe already.....
Lets see!!!!!
Plus we have RAH gig on 11th Dec.... will they film and show before Xmas or wait til next year? you would think that everyone attending her gig there would buy a copy of the album!!
I expect the album will go top10 in the first week - given album sales are fairly low this year and it will be mainly hardcore fans buying this. It will drop after that and unlikely to recover to the top10 status but depending on the success of the album promotion, it might hang around down the lower end of the charts. Its unlikely to sell more than KMO in total and might well sell less.
Album leak, album leak........... was on Aussie ITunes this morning. some streaming around.
I think streaming album before KMO release hurt sales
SPOILER ALERT
https://soundcloud.com/km-universe/kylie-christmas-standard-album-preview?utm_source=soundcloud&utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=twitter
LOVE IT!!!! Love Christmas Wrapping!!!
AND LOVE ONLY YOU by J Corden and Kylie!!!!
and 2000 miles!!!!!
and new song Cristmas isn't Christmas til you get here is FANTASTIC
Streaming counts towards the charts though.
Yes it does now.....
it didn't with KMO when they gave it to Guardian to stream and stream and lost sales
I hardly think so, I think the poor quality of the album is what lost sales.
Enjoyed the previews, she is too nasal on some tracks but clear and mighty fine on others.
Regina - I think you were spot on, Santa Baby and LIS are the same versions, according to the previews :-(
Her voice really does not go well with Frank's :/ and I hate HATE that whispery vocal thing she does in some tracks. Iggy Pop ruins Christmas Wrapping.
Who the f*** told James Corden he could sing? Jesus Christ.....
Some of it sounds pretty decent though, Every Days Like Christmas sounds pretty fab, so it's not all hopeless.
Not sure I agree with your assessment of the duets however, James Corden sings like he speaks, no range or power. But it is passable. Certainly not the horror of Jason Donovan - appalling singer, nasty voice.
It is much better than I thought, hope the bonus tracks have something disco tinged but not naff. Is the duet with Trannii is supposed to be disco?
I'm disappointed if they are the same versions of SB and LIS.
I have a feeling that it would get minimal promotion and the album would just bomb like Hurts's Surrender.
None of those songs are wowing me unfortunately. A lot of the personality has been sucked out of the songs. I hope the album does well but I don't think I'll be helping it.
'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' sounds good though.
White December sounds fantastic!
I listened to the previews and it sounds just as naff as I was fearing.
I like the sound of 'Christmas Wrapping' and 'Christmas Isn't Christmas 'Til You Get Here' though.
Oh dear...
The previews are not exciting me. That said, i never had high hopes of this album exciting me.
Well I really hope fans get behind it. Its festive and it means Kylie will be on our TVs and in the news so that's good to see.
Just checked Amazon and there are SOOOO many albums coming out 6th, 13th, 20th November from big acts.... I fear she will miss the top 10, but as long as it stays top 40 until Xmas I will be happy.
She is going to Australia to do some promo too so needs to fit in as much on UK as possible.
She is singing at the Post Office Children In Need Ball tonight ...... not sure if she will sing an Xmas song.... doubtful (just seen a clip, and its the same KMO set and costumes zzzzzz)
Its not a release im excited about, i know i wont like it but i will be buying it for the collection. I hope she can go top 10 with it at some stage, if her loyal fans stick by her and a few casual buyers she should make the top 10.
I must confess, I am more excited about the Kylie wrapping paper than the actual album.
Dannii posted about this on Instagram, and asked people to pre-order from Kylie's website... except her iPhone autocorrect made an error and it said "pre-order from Julie.com".
Yes. I am hoping she is selling a lot more off her website than Amazon......... the wrapping paper could be the saviour of Kylie Christmas!!!
Kylie Tweeted a pic of a holly wreath and said she was filiming.......
would love a Kylie TV special.... or maybe a TV advert?
cant think she would be filming so early for anything else yet?
They film the Royal Variety show around this time.
no, Royal Variety is on the 13th and shown on tv the following week
on 13th also is cinema premier of A Christmas Gift, Kylie has a cameo appearance in this Northern Irish youth made movie - great cause. maybe she sings a song...
Leaving it WAY too late if true.
Maybe she is going for 'big single' after album released..... interesting tactic....... Regina she cant release an Xmas song in mid October..... lol
Nice interview about her 'boyfriend' 'new album etc http://www.pridesource.com/article.html?article=73992
Why did you air quote boyfriend? he's real y'know.
I don't know ahahaha.....
She better hold onto this one, easily the best looking one she's had since....ever.
Kylie in the Matalan Xmas advert it seems...... is that what she was filming..... would be good if they used one of her songs..
oh no sorry its just an campaign for Matalan and a hospital charity.
So I am now very doubtful Kylie will get a top 10 album
Already in/going to be in charts and will sell loads Ellie Goulding, Coldplay, Elvis, Little Mix, Sam Smith etc
Released same day - ben Haenow, Justin Bieber, Eva Cassidy, Ed Sherran re-issue, One Direction, Andre Rieu etc
Plus many more that will sell lots...
No one is buying normal version..... people just buying deluxe version, no vinyl sales until 27th and not many downloaded it on ITunes..... hopefully Kylie fans will get behind it
I don't think it's too much of a big deal if it misses the Top 10. A lot of Christmas albums by popular artists haven't managed that:
Interesting....
Lets see how it goes.... I think she is going to put effort into this....
I would actually like to see one of the songs get into the top 40 again for her more than the album. LOL
She shouda gotten Josh Groban involved, his X-mas album is one of the best selling ever and a song with him would do more for her than the likes of Iggy Pop or
James Corden.
He's also a babe but that's irrelevant.
Christmas albums aren't really a huge deal in the UK, so if she does manage a decent peak with this then it'll be down to HER as much as anything. At this time of year though, sales are far more important than where it actually lands on the chart. If she does all the promo out there it should sell nicely until January and rack up a good total.
Anyway, I'm guessing #18 (for now) with a total of about 70k before years end.
Chances are she is just promoting CIN and the snazzy shirt, but maybe she has a spot? Wishful thinking I guess.
well she is doing Royal Variety filming on Friday 13th but that may well be early on and she could zoom over to somewhere to perform later on........
I can see her doing lots of promo.... she is going to Australia also to promote so she wants sales...... she will no doubt be performing on Australian X-factor... maybe her duet with Dannii........
She will definitely do either X-factor or Strictly....... she has TFI Friday..... she will do 1 of either G Norton or Alan Carr also.........and I think she will do J Ross........
small interviews with This Morning, Breakfast TV/Lorraine also will defo happen.
I guess it is just choosing the right songs off the album.... will she go new or will she go covers.......
You're just speculating here, there's no guarantee of any of that.
Well he wasn't stating it as fact.
"Every Day's Like Christmas" is sensational. It has to go to radio surely...
well well well
looks like we have the single she is going to push.......
ONLY YOU with James Corden. I know many of you don't like him, but I actually think it is a good version and maybe best chance for her to get some publicity etc
https://instagram.com/p/914kRZypr_/
Ugh.
Oh maybe it is just fan made?
https://twitter.com/JKCorden/status/663446558092890112
She really knows how to ruin an album campaign.
Also seems to be the first instant grat.
Its out! buy it now. already 436 on iTunes...
And world exclusive play on BBC Radio 2 this morning on Ken Bruce show .
Just heard clip of only you on iTunes. I quite like it. It sounds mature and her voice is great. Well produced. If it gets appropriate radio support and promotion, it could be a minor hit as the original is popular and Kylie has done a good version here.
It sounds great, in some ways, it outruns my expectation. I didn't think it would work but yeah, this can do for me.
Doing well for the album as the album back up into ITunes top 100 pre-order and the single is already top 200
Got a good premiere on BBC Radio 2 with Ken Bruce.
This is lovely.
Defo I will buy this album, but Only You? I will not buy the song, it will be on the album anyway.
It's passable, but not wowable, although that's the best that can be expected of something James Cordon is related to.
"As a fan and friend, I'm so excited to have James Corden duetting with me on the song 'Only You'. He suggested the song for my Kylie Christmas album and I just knew he would sound amazing on it. It's so subtle and lovely and I think it will surprise a lot of people." - Kylie
It's not bad, but not amazing either. Kinda like when you buy a cupcake but there is only a thin layer of icing on top and the crema filling inside is almost non existant. You still eat it and like it, but you are left wanting more.
well I think it has already outsold The Other Boys
single up to 104th on UK iTunes
album 48th on Uk ITunes
collecting some late pre-order sales
I highly doubt that.
Eurgh James Corden.
Broke into the ITunes top 100! 97th
#91 now.
I like her voice in this and I suppose he's not as bad as I expected, but there's nothing to greatly excite me here.
78 now
and more importantly the album is back charting up to 38th in UK ITunes albums so with pre-orders should b high up and get noticed a little on Friday's release
Pre-orders don't get counted with a new release on itunes anymore I don't think, so it won't start off high.
I do think this is her best shot at a single doing well, or rather denting the charts at all. I'm not a huge fan of it personally as it's a bit too stripped back for me. They do sound lovely together though and as much as I hate Corden this is him at tolerable levels (mainly because I can't see him and he isn't trying and failing to be funny).
I actually think streaming will help Kylie this Xmas rather than denting her chances ....... it also got played on Radio which none of her Garibay/Nervo stuff did
She will get some Xtra sales if she performs it with James on Late Late Show in USA
think she will do her Dannii duet on Aussie Xfactor when she goes there for promo
its given the album a boost on ITunes up to 35th
Its good start now as she has all her promo still to come.....
We only have a few confirmed promo spots though.
Regina are you crazy?
She will be doing lots.... you don't know from one week til the next with anyone but believe me she will be doing stuff
Regina are you crazy?
She will be doing lots.... you don't know from one week til the next with anyone but believe me she will be doing stuff
She didn't for KMO, so why suddenly do it for a X-mas album? Randomly chucking out a song a few days before the album comes out, turning on the Oxford lights but
not doing any kind of performance, it doesn't give much hope.
Aus X-factor finishes next week apparantly.
I highly doubt Dannii will sing live on XF. Also there is only the semis next week and the finals the week after left, she won't be doing a duet with the contestants in the final either as none of them left remotely suit her. She'll probably get Strictly.
Those last two words aren't needed in that first sentence tbh LiLi.
Sounds good!
She has Royal Variety performance on Friday to be shown next week...
you cant sing Xmas songs too early!! Hence she has released a non-Xmas song but Xmassie
up to 58 on UK singles and 32 on Albums so it is doing ok on very little promo/media attention.
She said in a interview I put on here that she is going Australia soon to promote so may well do a week promo here the to aus for the final then back to UK for her vinyl release and Xmas promo etc.
Lets see.
Stop being negative......
Single/song is much higher than i thought. This time next week we will a good idea of how the album is shaping to make or miss the top 10.
A Children in Need performance would have been great...... I cant see it though sadly as she will be at Royal Albert Hall doing Variety performance say day. though......
single 53 on iTunes, album 32nd
No.....
Kylie is in demand for TV shows - everyone wants her. its radio stations that don't want to play her songs......
Will Baker is one of the creative directors for X-factor now so hopefully he will get her on there
She was out doing promo this morning early on not sure what for.
single stalling but album doing nicely which is what I think they hoped for
streaming for yesterday totalled 6,000 on Spotify so lets hope that doubles today and so on..... streaming of Xmas songs over Xmas could be important for this release
Then why was she not on more when she promoted KMO?
She had contractual stuff with The Voice that restricted her somewhat..... and it was all a mess......
She has more control over this release
She might have more control, but that doesn't change the fact that she is just not in demand anymore.
Strictly have had Brian Adams and Seal the last 2 guests....... hardly 'current mega stars'
Alan Carr LOVES Kylie, J Ross LOVES Kylie, BBC LOVES Kylie, she is very well liked and respected and easily likeable.
They're generally bigger stars than Kylie is though.
She might be liked but she isn't seen as someone who will bring in big viewers to shows.
in the world they maybe but not in the UK. Seal was awful. he is having to appear on Sunday Brunch etc
Since when was the UK not in the world?
He is appearing on Sunday brunch and getting....PROMO, more than Kylie.
LOVE 100 degrees
poor quality snippet
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myZWqelh-Bs
13th December Kylie will appear on Desert Island Discs. Already recorded.
Only You added to BBC Radio 2 playlist ... only 'C' for first week
Doing a Magic FM Xmas special also confirmed. Nice chat from Coldplay 9.10min into this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEZmjIdIfBE
100 Degrees has a real Summer Night City by ABBA feeling going on, pretty good.
and my favourite ABBA song of all time is...... Summer Night City......
Now I am more interested in 100 Degrees than the Christmas album. When can we expect a release?
Performers for X Factor's semi final have been announced and they're Guy Sebastian and Justice Crew, so Kylie's last chance is the final butI cant see it. *holds out hope of Kylie performing Confide In Me with Louise for the duets*
Well Kylie is definitely going to Australia pre-Xmas as she said in an interview on UK radio and she will want to be back in UK soon as she has her concert to prepare, UK promo ans her lover, it would be silly if she didn't go on it but hey I don't know her schedule. Why cant she just be on it singing rather than having to duet?
https://xperialounge.sonymobile.com/experiences/563788dae4b0630acf36df9d?lc=en&utm_source=Social%20Media%20&utm_medium=Xperia%20Lounge%20&utm_campaign=Kylie%20Christmas
Itunes Samples up. Woop.
Oh Santa is basically Santa Baby pt.2 but better. Cried Out Christmas is pretty annoying but 100 Degrees sounds fab.
Well its nearly time. Lets hope Kylie fans support this release over the next 5-6 weeks.
She will do the promo, but we need to support Kylie Christmas
I will be buying it to be supportive/to keep up my collection, but I do wish this wasn't happening.
Stand Out tracks: 100 degrees, Christmas Wrapping, Christmas Isnt Christmas til you get here, Everyday's like Christmas, 2000 Miles
Very good album, Kylie sounds spot on with vocals in this. Nicely produced.
Album is no32 on iTunes and much higher than Ben Haenow who will flop. I would imagine she will sell better on physicals so still hoping for top 10 position.
Ben haenow moving up quickly as he was on Lorraine.
Kylie got a quick mention on Lorraine and video clip. up to 15th on ITunes. not bad for her.
100% degrees moving nicely.... 383 on UK ITunes
Also........... Kylie confirmed to be appearing at Aria Music Awards on 26th Nov... not sure if performing though. So looks like she will be doing a week or so of Promo in Austrialia then back for UK promo
I wasn't wanting this album at all but not gonna lie, I'm loving it ha ha
They made a MASSIVE mistake not releasing '100 Degrees' as the single and instead going with that James Corden thing. That is all.
So much for a Disco inspired album, anyway, some of the tracks are a bit too naff for me, but some are actually pretty decent.
I know, I would have been slightly enthused about this had she full on disco camped it up. It just sounds like cheap, nasty and identical reworkings of the originals for a lot of it.
It's too much like a watered down mash-up of The Abby Roads Session and one of her PWL albums. Shame.
I really enjoying it.
Its camp enough! I was humming the songs while shopping in Tesco which is always a good sign.
LOVE Christmas Wrapping.
positive start too. Move up on ITunes
the Dannii/Kylie duet may well still do ok. its 261 on UK ITunes, J Corden 86. Need some streaming and radio play..
Now the BIG question is......
Which song will she sing at Royal Variety today???
I am guessing a little mash up of 2/3 songs...... Everyday is like Christmas is really catchy!
Considering her track record, it'll be Santa Baby.
I know it's camp enough, but the originals themselves are and she's essentially just re-vocalised them. I'd have liked some pizzazz, some sparkle, some of her 'magic' in it.
Christmas Wrapping, It's Not Christmas Til... and 100 Degrees are worthwhile enough though. I'll keep those.
100 Degrees is annoyingly catchy.
Does she really rhyme Llama with Obama in Oh Santa?
100 degrees zooming up those ITunes charts..... number 238 now on ITunes UK
I think the Karen Poole penned Christmas isn't Christmas is very catchy
Think Chris Martin's Everyday is Christmas has a really nice feel to it and can see it being played in shops etc
If she is going to go with Only You in a serious way then it needs a proper video and a performance..... I didn't think it would be and was just to get a few more pre=orders but it is C listed on Radio 2 which signals they are going with it for a few weeks at least...
Santa Baby - Just a class song and Kylie suits it so well
Christmas Wrapping - Fun Fun Fun!
I think Kylie was on Irish radio this morinnig and it did the trick........ the album is number 4 on Irish ITunes only behind Bieber, Adele and 1D
Having given this a few listens:
09 | It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year Nice and traditional, always liked this song, good verison
05 | Santa Claus Is Coming To Town The voices do not go together, poor version, Faith Hill does it better
05 | Winter Wonderland Faith Hill does it better [2]
07 | Christmas Wrapping Thankfully not much Iggy, no real change to the original but it's a perfect song as it is
07 | Only You James Corden cannot sing. Pointless addition
6.5 | I'm Gonna Be Warm This Winter Not bad, but kinda filler-ish
09 | Every Day's Like Christmas Really liking this one
08 | Let It Snow Pointless to put it on the album, nice version but it's 5 years old now
08 | White December I'm not familiar with this song, but I liked it
10 | 2000 Miles Always loved this, she does it justice. Glad it's not changed much.
07 | Santa Baby Totally pointless addition, ruins the flow for me, a good version though, has been for 15 odd years
07 | Christmas Isn't Christmas 'Til You Get Here Decent, her voice is a bit annoying in it
10 | Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas Same as 2,000 Miles really.
8.5 | Oh Santa Essentially just Santa Baby but more modern and I like how it kicks up in the second half
08 | 100 Degrees Lovely song, Christmassy in lyrics but not in sound which I quite liked
05 | Cried Out Christmas Messy production, annoying vocals, it doesn't know if it's a ballad or uptempo
It's consistant, better than I thought, but there's a lack of proper Kylie magic, it only hints at it in a few tracks. I'd have liked maybe one or two more traditional songs like O Holy Night or Silent Night to have her show off her voice more.
From a few photos I just saw looks like she has had a bit of botox/fillers ready for promo.... it needs to settle down!
What does her appearence have to do with the quality or chart performance of her album?
For her public/press appearances and any photographs taken for the promo is why she's done it.
It doesn't affect the quality of the album, if she wants to botox up then it's her choice. That's probably me being nit picky though.
On my first listen, really enjoying Christmas Wrapping but Iggy Pop should not have been included.
I never comment on her appearance etc but she didn't look good on Australian TV, though I think she filmed that a few days ago so hopefully it has settled down. I sont want the media/public to attack her but just enjoy her performances etc
anyway the album is 86 on USA ITunes...... that's not too bad
Ireland are loving Kylie Christmas... even Only You is up to 28th there on ITunes....
She'll get attacked no matter what though, it's a sad reality of life. People like to make themselves feel better by trying to being down others.
Royal Variety being filmed today, on TV 7th December.......
Wonder if Kylie will do more promo this week or let the album sell itself. Think she is guaranteed a top 20 next Friday without promo. She needs to work on this James Corden song but isn't he is USA all the time doing his late late show....
Anyway quite happy so far with this.... Just needs to stay around until that big Promo starts
I am really intrigued to see where this will chart this time next week, gotta admit.
It's a good, fun addition to her catalogue. The 3 new songs on the standard and the Dannii duet are all good songs, all could be used for promo. Plus 2000 miles, wrapping, good new versions. Plenty of promo in this one.
Expect it will be a Christmas song on Royal variety as it will be shown in December.
Ordered the deluxe from Amazon so have been listening to the free MP3 rip every moment I was alone in the office. Love it. Love Kylie. Forever!
Kylie sang 'Its the most wonderful time of the year' at the Royal Variety performance dressed in white 'very showgirl' outfit https://instagram.com/p/-CW57Mgfwm/
Also they are splashing out.... the album advertised in the Coronation Street adverts!!! Must have cost a bit
Glad she did one of the better ones, looked good too. Nice mix between sexy and Christmassy.
Yep agree.... am she was very good according to a few people on twitter.
A variety of songs promoted over different shows is good for the album and the streaming of the singles over Xmas.
Anastasia sold 10.5k to get top 10 this week, Erasure 6.5k for 15th...... it was 27k for a top 5 album. I am hoping Kylie can shift 15k and get a top 10 but like I say those albums releases are stacked this week + Elvis, Beatles, Little Mix, Rod Stewart already selling big numbers.......
I'd be very worried if she couldn't get over 10K.
Just seen the advert, got a preview of a handful of songs so gives a good insight, but not really wow-worthy. Should still give the album a boost.
Cool. well I guess we will see in the first updates of the weeks progress. Just hoping she can snatch a top 10 placing in week one so it gets mentioned.
She looks utterly stunning in that Instagram pic prepping for the Royal Variety.
Great to see the album climb from 12th to 10th on ITunes today.........good sign
More good promo Kylie switching on Liberty Xmas window tomorrow and Liberty on twitter doing a competition for 30 fans to meet Kylie etc......
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CTxB5HFWIAAK0hW.jpg:large
Nice window of Kylie too!!!!!
Kylie is no5 in first set of midweeks according to Mint Royale.
number 5 is good but it will probably drop as mot much promo planned.
Only You got 27k of plays on Spotify UK yesterday its best day by far yet.... all the other tracks got 2.9-4.8k of plays... not bad all day......
I really wish Kylie coulda done a properly poppy disco Xmas tune, like this:
Easily my favourite Christmas song, something like this would suit Kylie so well.
Also, Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree shoulda been covered.
Good start for sales so hopefully she will stay top 10,id be happy with anywhere in the top 10 as sales should be ok. I bought it today, i didnt bother listening to samples before, its not as horrific as i thought it would be. Its ok, it will be good background music when im cooking the dinner on Christmas day but its not an album that will have to worry about getting overplayed
I am loving the Chris Martin track more and more and White December also!!!!!!
bit worried it may miss top 10 as all the pre-orders on Kylie.com will have kept this high and she is lacking promo this week.
will need to see the sales margins between 5th and 10th...
I guess we'll know more about those either tomorrow or later in the week.
Her version of 'Santa Claus Is Coming To Town' is actual torture, no exaggeration.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CTzqQHGUsAEyOIL.jpg:large
Kylie and Prince Harry
Only you up to number 98 on UK iTunes and more impressively up to number 38 in Ireland.
Oh is that total streams not UK? I thought it was UK..... oh well maybe not
The number of streams listed for a song on Spotify represents its worldwide figure.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CTzqQHGUsAEyOIL.jpg:large
Kylie doing her bit for Text Santa.... hopefully a performance too on 18th December......
Big crowds for her a Liberties ... lets hope they buy a copy or 2 of the album
Multiple buying is utterly useless unless they go away and come back with a different method of paying though.
but it must count as 2 sales in the long run..... each album has an individual barcode no?
I think if they are bought in one go, it doesn't count as two, I might be wrong though, I seem to recall it being like that with songs.
If Only You got good promotion it stands a chance of getting a official top 40 or higher.
I think the best thing to do is repeat what she did for ARS, perform a range of songs showing the variety of songs on the album. The mix of old and new, uptempo and slower, poppy and traditional is hard to convey with one song.
It has to be one CD per purchase. It used to be. Not sure how that equates online?
Every Day's Like Christmas is such the grower *.* perfectly suited to Kylie, the bells near the end, argh, so good.
Yes I agree.... Everyday is Christmas is excellent .can see this on X-factor or Strictly with dancers.......
also seem to be humming Chrismas isn't Christmas til you get here all the time lol
I agree new song for every TV promo
Dannii confirmed a performance with Kylie on X-Factor Australia of '100 Degrees'.
Yes just seen this. Kylie on the X-factor final 24/11 performing 100 degrees!!!
Oh christ, Dannii performing live She'll be worse than Mahalia was from week 2 to her elimination.
Dannii's a good live performer!
She was excellent when I saw her recently.
have a feeling this won't make the top 10 next Friday.
Kylie going to Aus tomorrow for 2 weeks..... so no promo and its slipping on Amazon and ITunes quite rapidly.....
Hopefully her sales are already strong, its hard to call if it will go top 10 or not.
The album is dropping quickly on iTunes. It's now at 24 but peaked at 10. I'm sure Kylie will stay top 10 but will fall from no5 midweek position as week progresses. She deserves to be top 10 with this album anyway.
I just worry about no more promo..... the likes of Andre Rieu, Rod Stewart, The Beatles could all sell very well all week + Elvis, Little Mix, Goulding, ELO etc......lets see sales Margins when published today
Video for '100 Degrees' (well, kind of studio footage): http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/kylie-and-dannii-minogue-get-festive-in-their-christmas-duet-100-degrees-video__12018/
Number 7 in the latest midweeks on 10500 sales - that is decent numbers in the current market.
Just shows what a big week this is for new albums.
I have a feeling that it may end up at No.11
It's a nice listen. Nothing groundbreaking but it has some lovely moments. 100 Degrees is great though, what a shame more of the album couldn't have sounded like that!
I'm okay with #7 today, I thought she'd be around 10,000 for the entire week so pleased with the sales!
Nice basic but fun video they've thrown together for '100 Degrees'. I hope they cancel that dreary Corden thing and push with that instead.
The damn Spotify just won't include the deluxe version which includes 100 Degrees.
Hopefully it will mean more sales/ cherry picking of the bonus tracks.
I can confirm that Kylie is actually #6 with almost 10.6k. She sold 1.9k yesterday and must have been overtaken by Little Mix.
Unfortunately, at the current rate albums are selling, Kylie is looking at #12 or #13 tops.
Furthermore, 'Only You' is #160.
Oh well Kylie didn't do enough promo this week simples.....
its a pity because a top 10 album would have given it an extra boost in the media..... next week when she is in Australia it could drop quickly....
she has the vinyl coming on 27th so with some promo that week when she is back from Aus then she should stay top 40
I doubt it would have seen a boost from being Top 10, but it would have been nice to see, aside from Let's Get to It, Kylie keep up her run of Top 10 studio albums. Still, it at least has a decent shot at going Gold when promo does eventually kick in.
OMFG The CD actually came wrapped in the Kylie paper *.*
Also, the artwork is a little different, it has a cute little golden bow added onto it, really cute.
To be fair, if she does a well timed promo event in the 2/3 weeks leading up to Christmas she may well make the top 10. Something like a BBC/ITV special would do the trick I reckon.
Aw that artwork/packaging is cute.
So far promo in December we have.......
TFI Friday
Royal Variety Performance 7th Dec
Big 'Chat Show Slot' on 17th Dec Jonathan Ross?
Albert Hall Gig 11th Dec will it be shown on TV this year?
Desert Island Discs 13th Dec
Text Santa?
G Norton?
Strictly?
X-factor?
A Carr?
The One Show?
Could she do a slot on Im a Celeb while in Aus? LOL. Parachute down in a Santa Baby outfit?
Anything else?
I'm absolutely loving 'Christmas Isn't Christmas 'Til You Get Here'.
That, '100 Degrees' and 'Christmas Wrapping' are the 3 clear best from this by a country mile.
http://www.digitalspy.com/music/news/a774227/kylie-minogue-going-full-pop-new-album/
"Going full pop...getting back to my dance/pop roots" What the hell were her previous three albums then?!
Watered down safe and mismatched pop.
so....
6 Kylie
7 Ben H
8 Andrea Rieus
9 Ed
10 Rod
11 Jess
12 Beatles
13 Ellie
Not sure the differences but looks like Kylie has a fight on her hands to keep top 10 ........... I can see them all overtaking her.
I can legitimately see everything from 11 above overtaking now I look at that list. God damn.
So we are going to have a chart run before Xmas of 14-34-28-22-20-18
Sales: 42,600
??
I can't see Ben climbing above her, alas he seems likely to fall with her.
it says on the other thread that he sold 1k more than her yesterday and has already moved above today......
she just needs to sell steady but at least she is selling full price and no discounts etc
I was one of those 1K
If there was any justice in the world, they'd be the top 2.
Kylie on This Morning tomorrow - I think
It is at the least something that will add some sales and potentially result in a top 10 debut for the album.
I think it's only an interview, so I'm not hopeful about it making any dent on the album sales front.
cant watch This Morning yet but Only You just jumped 157 to 117 on ITunes... did they play a snippet? or did it get a play on radio?
Well ITunes Kylie moved up from 25th to 19th and Only You moved up from 179 to 102 so I guess the This Morning Text Santa promo sold a couple of extra copies
Wonderful the interview had some impact. I look forward to the next set of midweek chart information to see how Kylie is holding up.
Just watched it.
She looked nice, spoke nicely and album mentioned, duet with J Corden mentioned and 3 different songs played a bit of each
100 Degrees is No.1 on Australian Itunes video from Kylie's facebook page.
it number 1 in UK too... but sadly videos are not bought that often compared with songs...... its a good sign though
to be fair I really like the video from the album. and cost nothing to make
Also video purchases don't count towards the sales/chart position.
Oh really. I didn't know that
Kylie is no10 in album midweeks today according to folks on say hey.
No chance of top 10 now.
lets hope it stays top 15.....then top 30-40 next week and rebounds with promo in December
looking at Album releases for 20th and 27th Kylie will do well to stay top 40!!! She needs a single to take off somehow......
One has to ponder why she didn't choose to release the album at the beginning of December...
i would think she wanted to get the album songs out there and pick up streaming numbers ready for her assault in December when Xmas songs will dominate Spotify
She is releasing the Vinyl on 27th Nov so she knows she wants a boost this week which is when she has done some Aussie promo and is on her way back to UK for Xmas promo
13th Nov was RV performance date & Xmas Liberty date so maybe this
To be fair it looks like selling 13-14k at least this week and that would give her a top 3 album some weeks in the past year......
Fingers crossed she really goes all out and hope 100 degrees picks up.... 1 performance with J Corden could also boost that song big time but still lots of people haven't heard it......
Radio Play and TV appearances singing live are vital for any artist and Kylie got neither yet.......

Kylie is #11 in the mids - sold 1.2k yesterday and 13.6k in total (on track for 16k). No sign of 'Only You'.
Still good opening sales, which is all that matters really.
Yeah definitely, I'm quite satisfied with them. Could potentially get higher sales later in December too.
Top 15/15k or so is a good result given how early it is in the season for most people. Should see quite small drops, sales wise, at least for the next few weeks and end up with a healthy total. Especially given how poorly Christmas albums do here generally.
16,000 is respectable, but i had believed, Kylie had enough hardcore fans alone to buy that amount, that would not include any casual buyers. Therefore, it looks like even some of her loyal fans have yet to support this release.
Not bad not bad........ She is holding up well on ITunes at 19-25th region...... lots are slipping faster....... so she may stick around. Will have to wait and see week 2 sales could be very low and it could drop A lot while she is in Australia........ will it drop out of top 30 in week 2? probably
She does well from TV promo so we have to wait until beginning of December.
If she had released vinyl at same time I think she could have sold another 1.5k of those and gone top 10 but hey ho she didn't deliberately so that's good
That's that then, no top 10.
I'm satisfied with 16k.
Who's behind her and likely to overtake at this stage?
Only You dropped to 179th yesterday and now back up to 97th in UK ITunes... just shows what 1 play does on a radio station can do... if only it was sustained
Love how Santa Baby has now had 6,750,000 plays on Spotify in its lifespan.
Kylie has nothing left to attract sales, also if missing streams are added i fear Kylie falling further. Could Michael Buble chart higher than her this week?
I think she may have sold more than she ordinarily would yesterday due to her This Morning appearance.
So we are looking at 15k for Kylie Christmas first week......
2nd week probably around 3-4k?
Just all depends if people will buy it as Xmas season kicks into full swing.
or will they cherry pick songs?
I am hoping her 100 degrees performance on Australian X-factor will get some UK media interest even if it just on some Showbiz news.....
I don't think streaming sales for albums is that great is it? singles yes but albums? I mean Elvis had sales of approx. 88k last week and streaming points where on 863..... so down where Kylie is I cant see streaming being more than 100-200 sales
Kylie with Only You will have a 2nd week 'C' listed on Radio 2..... A listed are Corrs, Elton, Paul Heaton, Adele etc
I'm disappointed with the album position on first week but not the actual sales. I hoped this would make top10. I think it will drop quickly next week and will recover slightly over the next few weeks but can't see it selling more than KMO to be honest.
It at best may match Kiss Me Once total sales which is disappointing as that sold very poorly. Annoyingly, the promotion for the albums appears to be declining on each release and sadly so is the quality. While the current and previous release are enjoyable in parts they are both a long way off what Kylie does best.
I think having "Only You" was a good choice for the lead single, and hopefully it will get a video shot and generate more interest in the album, and also hopefully she might have a video shot for "Santa Baby" for a possible promo release and then it could climb back up the charts. I dunno maybe "OY" might become a surprise hit for her.
Its all about what she will promote
for example - Royal Variety on 7th Dec she sings Most Wonderful Time Of Year.....
so I guess she is going to do different songs for each show.....
she had to send 1 song to radio and it was Only You..... that just needs a performance and would sell a lot but as it is people still do not know much about it...
Streaming - I listen to a lot on Spotify but Kylie fans probably just listen to CD on media player or CD player ... they could stream most songs and help but they don't.... so she loses out .... for instance Only You has had only 168,000 streams worldwide in 2 weeks......... very low
I've streamed it a few times. Though it's just a drop in the ocean really.
Still 11 today, right under Ben Haenow, lucky cow.
Dunno but she better not overtake him, his album is way better. Kylie has enough top 10 albums.
He's 1696 ahead and outselling her still so...
Come on Kylie! Sleigh!!!!!!!!!
I have to agree, the top 10 is more important to Ben Haenow's career than Kylie's and it has to be said Ben's album is by far the superior of the two.
Not sure why people are so dismissive of Kylie Christmas
She performs the songs really well. It causes no harm and the new songs are very nice.
It's not being dismissive, it's preferring another album over this.
doubt it... its Thursday....... cant think it will be a busy day........ promo for everyone starts again on Friday!
I think The Beatles will find it hard to do promo with half of their members deceased.
Kylie going for that I'm a Celeb advertisement sales....... Again must have paid a lot for that slot..... 9m viewers for that show.
Was there an advert for it? Hopefully that can give it a small last minute sales boost.
(I don't know as I don't watch I'm A 'Celeb')
Yep.
But only for the 13 song normal album. Kylie looks very cute but doesn't sing any of the brand new songs just he staple covers and a tiny bit of J Corden song.
albums jumped from 290 to 256 and 31 to 27 on UK iTunes probably an extra 10 album sales
I've seen the advert, it's unfortunate that the worst songs are featured. (pretty much)
Yes.... I think when promo starts they may edit it a little if a song takes off.....
They are clearly not wanting to spend money on this so i doubt it.
Pity they didn't do a video for J Corden Only You like they did with 100 degrees where they are both just messing about in the studio....
the reason why............. they weren't in the studio together..... it was just another Enrique moment where they merged both recordings together from different locations
Just got 1/5 from Guardian Music Editor and 2/5 from Independent.
I would never expect Christmas albums to get very strong reviews. On the whole this style of releases are cover version albums that have been done again and again.
Lots of new releases this week and Kylie way down to 36 on UK ITunes
can see her possibly in danger of dropping out of the top 40 this coming week while she is in Australia.
I hardly see any copies of her album in the supermarkets and when she is £13 a copy and Buble is selling for £5 if you want an Xmas album he is going to win
The Deluxe Edition has been added to Spotify.
Good news! now get that promo started!!
Belatedly, hopefully it will also be added to the Asian region soon.
Enters at #12. I'm happy enough with that, could have been worse.
Number 12. That's Ok. Now fingers crossed it can stay top 40 this week. Just need some people to get in Xmas mood.
I am guessing she will be on TFI Friday on 4th Dec?
Hope she does sing a mixture of songs on her TV promo
Just heard that is the highest Xmas album debut for 5 years.......
Buble's album debuted at #3 4 years ago though.
oh ok then in 4 years
yikes Kylie was 7th in download charts and there where 2 compilation albums above her!!!
15,881 sold.
15,881 not bad at all.....
Lets hope it can get total sales of 20,000+ in week two.... we need another 4,119 sales this week......
I hate Christmas albums, but I actually love this! 100 degrees is brilliant
Just heard a rumour that the 100 degrees duet performance on Australian X-factor has been cancellled
but then Guy Sebastian just tweeted he cant wait to see it so maybe it was just a silly rumour and Kylie and Dannii have been tweeting today and no mention of it being cancelled
07 Australia
08 Hungary
12 UK
14 Ireland
23 Belgium (Flanders)
34 Germany
41 Holland
53 Belgium (Wallonia)
59 Italy
Not too bad.
What do we think Worldwide sales where for week 1? 30k?
it says Vinyl on her website is out of stock...... how many do we think she sold?
Surely it did more than 30K WW if it did 15K here?
Only You down to 310th on Uk ITunes.... safe to say...... not doing anything
She charted much higher in Ireland than i thought she would. It has a higher peak in Ireland than Body Language managed.
i think she will be around 32-35 in tomorrow's chart update.
Ya i think it will fall big this week and end up around number 37.
I'm hoping it holds up a little better than that.
Think it should remain Top 30 this week.
The video she filmed two and a half weeks ago might be ready soon too ..... hoping wishing
28 mids
28 is pretty much what many expected this week at this stage. It would be wonderful if she stabilizes for the remainder of the week.
That's better than I expected, I thought it'd fall out of the top 40 so it's good that it looks set to remain.
100 Degrees X Factor performance:
Brilliant! But why did they perform a cut-down vision?
#ShouldHaveBeenKylie
Lovely advert, the song really goes well with the commercial.
Kylie is still #28. 4.5k sold so far this week, just over 900 yesterday, putting it on track for ~7.2k.
I love the X-Factor AU performance, just the right amount of camp.
I really think 'Christmas Isn't Christmas 'Til You Get Here' is itching to be used in a high profile Christmas advert.
Dannii looked sensational *.* woof.
New peaks :
18 Czech Republic
51 Switzerland
184 US
Things looking very positive.....
anyone know the sudden jump from 53 to 39 today on ITunes? Nice to see
if it can hold a decent top 40 spot this week and sell over 5k which it looks like then that is very good
1st week sales in Australia around 3.3k ....digitals sold 1.1k....... the 100 degrees perfmance has given it a boost in Aus and hopefully it will stay top 30 this week there...
now we just need the promo to start....I have watched the Royal Variety performance and its cute. dancers with candy sticks and fluffy fur coats. Kylie sounds good but doesn't exactly bust a gut energy wise, sounds good though.
Why am I getting VERY good vibes for this #shouldhavebeenkylie campaign for John Lewis advert.......
MTV UK just tweeted it to its 2m followers.... shortly followed by Metro......
i also heard a rumour that Parlophone rang the video's maker......
I just wonder if something originally behind the scenes or is it just co-inicvidence?
Had a couple of listen on the album, it's alright so far, the highlights are Winter Wonderland, Everyday's like Christmas, White December and 100 Degrees.
Christmas Wrapping is utterly vile.
The deluxe version of the album will be going on offer on Amazon from midnight, but the price it'll be cut down to is currently unknown.
Loving this John Lewis Advert talk..... its excellent free promo for Kylie..... she is sure to get asked about it in interviews or for it to be discussed.....
MTV, Metro, Telegraph all have articles on it already
Only You gone from 352 to 100 on ITunes again.....
Also mention for Kylie Christmas in Sweden...... up to number 9 on Swedish ITunes
Kylie was 30th in yesterdays midweeks lets hope it can stay there until tonight
Kylie looked stunning at the ARIAs and got good publicity with Ed Sheeran etc http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3334504/Alli-Simpson-rocks-chic-navy-white-kimono-style-playsuit-leads-arrivals-2015-ARIA-awards.html
Kylie Christmas sold 28,000 copies worldwide on week 1 of release.
Only You #100 on UK iTunes.
Only You up to 89th on UK ITunes, a climb of nearly 300 places in 24 hours.... the John Lewis viral advert is doing the trick. Its been around 3 weeks now so much have sales over nearly 5k now?
8.99 now on Amazon for deluxe. should get a few extra sales
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kylie-Christmas-CD-DVD-Minogue/dp/B015YCKO54/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1448583702&sr=1-1&keywords=kylie+minogue
wonder how many vinyls she sold? it was out of stock on website but now available again...
Good price. I've ordered album for friend for xmas.
Only You is toying with becoming an official chart entry. It is bouncing up and down,i hope it makes up its mind and becomes a registered chart song soon
iTunes are selling the standard at £4.99.
Just purchased it for £3.21 because I already had downloaded S B and LIS!!!
Of course I have the deluxe cd already so this is just so I can play "legally" on my other devices haha.
Standard now rapidly climbing iTunes album chart, now top 100 - hardly huge sales but it all helps.
Yep.
She is getting some sales
she is now 45th and 65th on UK ITunes
She needs to get the standard CD in that 2 for £15 HMV promo too
Fingers crossed she gets back from OZ asap and starts her promo.
The vinyl also out today so hoping that will add a few hundred sales to her 3rd week total.....
Pretty sure she has no control over HMV choosing what albums to put on their deals.
Has it been mentioned that she's performing on Norton on the 18th of December?
If SmileyKylie hasn't mentioned it.....chances are....nobody else has....
Excellent 18th Dec... that is the chat show that Sony Experia are doing the competition for to sit in audience and meet her back stage etc. thanks.
I would like her to be on A Carr of J Ross the week of her concert 11th Dec... they both pre-recorded so that would have been nice but seems not
Kylie Christmas Deluxe currently #48 in Amazon's chart. The standard is #258. Vinyl #1644.
Vinyl is 15.99 on her website wrapped in Xmas wrapping paper and sold out, but new stock in now. Amazon is 18.99 hence it not selling
She is selling OK on Amazon and lots of weird things happen in those charts ie 99p downloads make the album top sellers etc. and lots of Various.....
She is 49 and 52 on UK ITunes... take away all the EPs, double versions, various artists and she is 31 and 33rd so I am hopeful she can have a third week top 40 again this coming week and sell around 5k before promo starts in week 4.
To be fair the albums are 45 and 49 now on ITunes and with over 25 new releases today I would say she is doing very well.
Kylie Christmas is officially number 31 this week in UK chart
An oddity, both of her #12 singles fell to #31 in their second week and now this has.
Big drop. Can't see much to hold it up next week neither.
Big drop, but expected by most. Should we expect a further decrease next week?
No!
this week she is already doing ok..... the 4.99 ITunes album gone from 200 to 36 on ITunes but this only a 1 day offer.... delux is 46 so holding up well
Vinyl release sales also today so that should add a couple of hundred of sales
She announced a Spotify competition and an Amazon competition today also.
She will be back in UK this week so hopefully some more radio promo.
Think it will finish top 30 this week in next Fridays chart
Maroon 5 sold 5.6k at 35, T Chapman sold 7.2k at 30...... so Kylie about 6.9k me thinks..... that's not bad again.....
total UK sales over 22k in 2 weeks. Still 4 weeks of Xmas to go.
Okay seriously, you could have put all that in one post.
Sorry!!!
You are forgiven
Wish he would do that 4.99 ITunes thing for another 24 hours... up from 200 to 35th
The good news is............. she is on TFI Friday next week 4th Dec
The vinyl sales should help a lttle bit this week but not a massive amount.
The Amazon deal will give a slight boost but it's not a very visible on the site - nor is it as big an offer as a lot of the other albums.
One big problem could be that it needs to be charting on the instore Supermarket charts again ASAP - so that it'll draw the casual buyers that this type of release is relying on.
Hope there is some sort of boost to get it there sooner rather than later
Yes.
I have been to supermarkets and can hardly find.... even a HMV I went to I struggled
if she can just sell moderately on every format.....
Down from number 14 to number 47 here in Ireland.
Kylie managed a 2nd week Top 10 @ #10 in Australia
7-10-
Just shows what promo does. She has been in Australia all week and appeared on X-factor and at ARIA's etc. Sales boosted... She must have now sold 5k plus in Australia.
Kylie & James remain C listed on BBC Radio 2 for a 3rd week running
Still 12th favourites for Xmas number 1 at 28/1 also...........
Everyday's Like Christmas was just played on Graham Norton Radio 2 show. Sounds so good!!!!!!!
Also 100 degrees just played on Dublin's Spin 1038 and is the radio station's song of the week...... good promo

The standard version of the album will be reduced on Amazon from midnight.
Anyone hazard a guess what position she will be this week in the chart?
#2 behind Nick Carter obviously.
