That same week Johnny Cash's covers of 'Hurt' and 'Personal Jesus' charted at #39, which seem far more famous than their chart position suggest.

Interesting to see 'Love Affair' is her most downloaded album track. That's a highlight on Fever for me, probably the best non-single on it!

It's still will be the return of the Mack 4eva Joined: 1 February 2011 Posts: 53,603 User: 12,915	QUOTE 22. Speaking of Santa Baby, it was originally released as a B-side in 2000, and took 17 years to hit the Top 40. It is fantastic that it did read Top 40 this year at last. Fully deserved.

It was a deliberate attempt to pitch to the American market which although it was semi successful is one of my least favourite Kylie singles.

Hello? Joined: 8 March 2006 Posts: 83,013 User: 116	That's such an interesting fact about Love Affair, as it came out before the download era, so its sales/streams are from people revisiting the album and picking that track as a highlight over all of her other non-singles. It really is a great song though, would have been a fantastic single from Fever, though maybe a little too similar in style to In Your Eyes and Love At First Sight so I can see why Come Into My World was chosen.
