'Lifetime To Repair' has today been sent out to radio as the next single.
I am not surprised, the song is very remix-able. (Think Summertime Sadness)
Not sure how I feel about LTTR as a single - I LOVE the song but there are others I would have preferred but I guess it’s the right kind of summer song.
Just hope BMG actually try to push it as a proper single.
I am very disappointed by this decision.
I do like it, but i feel there were better choices.
I hope both Kylie and the label get behind this and really give it a push.
No.
I suppose it's far from the worst choice, but not what I would have gone for. I was hoping for 'Music's Too Sad...' as a nice winter ballad-esque release.
This was my number one choice following the album release but there's others I have since thought would be better choices. This one is too much in the same vein as Dancing and Stop Me From Falling; there's some great ballads on this album and it would be good to show that side of the album.
Is there a source for this or anything? I've been trying to search for one.
Music's Too Sad..... would have been an ideal 4th single for September release and it would have presented a completely different side of the album.
That said, the decision is made, so we can do what we can to support it as a single.
Maybe (Hopefully!) they are saving ‘Musics Too Sad Without You’ for a winter release to coincide with the album repackage?
I think if Kylie gets some TV promo LTTR could really sell the album as it’s very upbeat but if they just rely on R2 playlist and nothing else then it’s not going to help much.
I've got to say, despite there being more ideal choices, I do love 'A Lifetime to Repair' and I think, assuming we get them, we could see some great performances and remixes of this. I can see it being a crowd-pleaser; the composition of the song really lends itself to hyping up the audience .
Maybe Kylie's working her way through all the songs in order and we'll get a video for them all? #wishfulthinking
I like the song and it's not a bad choice and I hope music too sad gets released to promote the repackage.Hopefullybtgey have plans in place to promote it and il be greedy and hope for some form of physical release.
^^ Was just thinking please give us a physical release! They could easily sell 5,000 units of whatever physical they decided upon.
Ya I agree or do a vinyl and a cd as fans will buy both especially if we get a b side and I'm sure she has songs available.
Shelby 68 is right there.
I've been trying to search for a source on this, but there's not even one mention of it on Twitter and Google is returning nothing either. I can't see it mentioned on any other forums I browse.
Anyone?
As of yet, it appears this is not confirmed then, is that correct?
Sorry guys, it has been sent out to radio, I wouldn't make it up. It normally takes a few days for it to filter through on social media/online particularly when it's a single released well into the album campaign. Here's the text of the email:-
It will likely filter and appear in release schedules in the coming days.
Thanks for posting the press release!
Would have been nice if they had included information about promo for the single
Interesting that the press release doesn't mention 'Golden' the single.
Makes me wonder, was it just a buzz single like 'Sexercise'? Not that I really know what that means.
Ya I was gonna say the same thing,for a single it has been completely overlooked.
I totally feel like 'Golden' was a single, but that they're just not really going to put much effort into those now the album's out.
I get that but golden really wasn't even given a small chance to do anything until the voice performance.
Thanks very much for the info, gavindeejay!

I would definitely regard Golden as a single, it was just quite low-key in the way it was handled.
The artwork at the least is handled better than with Golden, which came weeks after its release.
It will be interesting to see the differences (if any) on how this single is handled in comparison to Golden.
Apparently this has been played on Radio 2, it's been slightly remixed.
I feel like this needs a bit of a remix to properly work as a single, so I'm intrigued to hear that.
Listen here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0bdb4yb
2hr 40min
The new mix is not radically different I suppose, just more emphasis on the fiddle than the "woaaoooh"s after the chorus.
It's not a big difference but it does make the song more memorable. I really hope they push this now.
The fact that we have artwork and a radio edit/remix already makes me think they will put a little more effort into pushing this track - they know it will help build momentum into Q4 if they can get a radio hit and album sales now.
I know I say it all the time but just give the fans physicals and a digital remix EP BMG! Guaranteed Top 40 for every release!
Here’s the artwork

Its a good cover for the single. Im all for physicals, and they in Kylies case would really boost her chart performances.
From OCC:- http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/kylie-minogue-unveils-new-edit-of-next-single-a-lifetime-to-repair__23547/
I was worried the radio mix got rid of the "repair" refrain totally as that's one of my favourite bits. As it's still there in some capacity, I think I can enjoy this edit.
Kylie’s still tweeting links to Golden - someone needs to let her know they’ve moved on to LTTR already
Time for Kylie and the label to get behind A life time to repair.
Apparently she filmed the video in Venice.
For the first time the first four songs on a Kylie album became singles.
Is ALTR the final single from Golden or will we get one more? Kylie, Light Years & X had more than four singles. Will Golden join this club?
With a rerelease coming I'd say we will get a fifth.
No doubt the next single after ALTR will be a new single from the repackaged album. To be honest I'm surprised they're bothering with ALTR if they're planning on re-issuing the album as it will encourage more sales of the standard edition. Do we know when it's released yet?
I would now believe it will be the Sigala duet that will be the single to promote the release of the new edition.
I would be shocked but happy if MTSWY is single five the duet as the 6th single.

A clip from the music video? Loving the colour!
Colourful and the shades to go with it!!
Lyric video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKZIlwGFdPM
Now on YouTube:
Great that we have a lyric video with main video still to come - already more effort put into this than the Golden single!
Get those YT views up everyone!!
the radio edit is now available on itunes/spotify in Oz. Added to the UK shortly
The radio edit would be of help.
I would like to believe this will do something to make this more successful than Golden.
Is tomorrow its official full release day?
The good news is that its a stand alone on Itunes
https://itunes.apple.com/au/album/a-lifetime-to-repair-edit/1422571121?i=1422571124&app=music
therefore we can actually download it away from the album and it has its own cover etc , hopefully on Spotify too etc.
Kylie fans should be able to get top 50 on Itunes and we just all need to stream like hell.....
Maybe she could sneak a top 100 hit again with this........
If it could manage an official Top 100 placing i think we could refer to this as a successful 4th single.
It would be wonderful if they push the single as it will have benefits not just to the song itself, but also the tour and album sales.
Well it can't do any worse than golden.
Just downloaded Hopefully this can at least make the iTunes Top 100?!
118 on iTunes - already about 400 places better than Golden achieved, hopefully BMG understand all they need to do is give us a stand-alone single to get a few sales
Edit - Now #99
40 place jump to #59 Coming for the Top 40 - I know the sales are low blah blah blah but still impressed after Golden.
Pleased enough with that!
Now #47 Kylie fans proving once again all we need is a stand-alone single/remix
As it stands and it's released 12 hours it has out performed golden
If she had released a phyisical this week she could possibly have got another top 75 hit.
Sadly not on any playlists.
Didn't even make Spotify New Music Friday UK.
so will do absolutely nothing.
top 200 chart maybe
I have streamed both versions my allotted times already today.
don't understand Kylie fans who cant get free Spotify and just stream it lol.
dinosaurs.
We are not expecting great things for the single.
That said, as pointed out, it has already out performed Golden.
For this to stand any chance of success it needed to be added to playlists like mentioned.
A physical as also mentioned and promotion to back it up.
All combined for this week would possibly have resulted in the single charting.
It would be wonderful if the album can climb the chart due to the single release.
It's essentially pointless if they can't get key additions on Spotify's playlists.
The playlists are essential and they do need to invest capital into it and also use social media more to their advantage.
She’s shared a post about the release on Instagram and there is a link on her page to the song - all we need now is the official video, TV Promo and a CD and 7’ vinyl bundle
If we get that, she has a hit on her hands
If only! ! Likely to be extremely lucky to even scrape into the top 100.If it managed that I'd be happy.
Ya kylie missing the top 10 at one time was like this is bad and now if she makes the top 100 it's like wow and getting into the top 40 is like getting a number 1.
Dropping quickly on iTunes now - currently #65 although I’m happy it managed to reach #44.
I hate all the up and down we get though - it’ll probably fall out of the iTunes chart before airplay and (hopefully!) promo starts so leads to sales being split over multiple weeks which an act like Kylie can’t afford but whatever - glad we got a new mix and single cover for this release.
The new mix sounds like a rednex song...
125 on iTunes now - guess there is only so much us Kylie stans can do.
Just heard the single version, not really a fan....
It's falling very fast but if the radio play can help the album least something will be gained from it
It is disappointing how quick this has dropped down the charts.
It looks like only the die hards made the purchase.
If Radio 2 dont pick up on, it will absolutely nothing as a single or help out the album.
A-listed on Radio 2!
Finally!
This will have some benefits if at the least for the album.
Thank God for radio 2.
its only 2 weeks until her headline Hyde park concert. will be more promo coming.
remember the concert is being shown live on Red Button etc. Maybe even get a BBC1/2 highlights package
That will hopefully help the album back into the top 100.
This campaign is all over the place - they have released a standalone ‘Golden’ remix single today (The Weiss remix is really good ) Also on instagram there are paid promotional adverts and links for ALTR They need to make their mind up
It's Def confusing they way they are approaching it, why bring golden into it just as a lifetime to repair is released.
Debuts at #47 on the UK radio airplay charts, played 110 times across 20 stations.
Hopefully support will pick up even more.
She's posted a clip of the music video on her Instagram, it's released on the 18th:
https://www.instagram.com/p/BnUDda3HOt4/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=nydc9zdomqy0
The day after I get back from holiday, that will be a nice treat.
(Hopefully)
Saw the post on IG too - good to see they are taking this single release seriously in the run up to Q4.
Hope it is a music video, but it could be part of the intro or an interlude for the tour as that commences the date that's in the video.
It would be wonderful if its the video for the song and i think it will.
Up to #33 on UK radio this week. Hopefully it's in for another good climb this week.
Where did 'Golden' peak again?
I'm assuming kylie will perform this tomorrow so I hope she introduces it as this is my new single which is OUT NOW.
She should let people know as it cant do any damage.
If I'm honest I can see the same happening again and it really makes no sense at all.
Up to #27 on airplay. Going the right way but I thought it would have been in for a better climb this week following Hyde Park.
It really made no sense that she didn't perform it.
We will most likely never know whether A Lifetime To Repair or Golden performed better.
At this point I would say Golden performed better. Has better streams, a remix, been performed more and has the slight benefit of sharing the same name as the album.
^^ Also ALTR went Top 40 on iTunes - Golden missed the Top 500+ when it was released (Although it did manage to peak in the Top 100 when the remix was randomly released).
Both have done very badly but from sales there probably isnt a huge difference between them.
Currently #194 on iTunes.
It appears to be an out of nowhere boost but welcoming to see.
Up to 168th. Strange to see it climbing. has it hit commercial Radio?
Guessing it must receive a boost every time it gets played by Radio 2 but now has the added bonus of promo surrounding the tour to help lift its sales further.
Although it will never chart it's good to see it get some sales
127 now. Strange. It must have been played somewhere new....
Plus ‘Dancing’ is #117 - would love to see this hit Silver even though it’s a long way off atm.
It’s upto 23 on the rolling airplay chart plus I can’t see the edit version on the iTunes chart anywhere.... maybe it’s being combined on the iTunes chart?
Also to confuse matters a 2 track promo CD of Golden featuring both Weiss remixes has been sent to radio too
94 on iTunes now ..... Has it been reduced or something?
No still 99p. Will just be the tour effect - I imagine it's the first time some people will have heard it tbh.
Reducing it to 59p would help but that could be done for dancing too as with the tour it will climb.
87 now.
Dancing 79.
Radio 2 have now removed ALTR from their playlist
Would have been nice to have stayed there another week, especially following its recent boost, but 4 weeks on the A-list is still good.
'Dancing' and 'Golden' had 5 weeks each and 'Stop Me From Falling' had 6 weeks.
When is the video being released?
That's just what I was thinking. Are we even getting one, or is it still to come?
Something was teased on social media with ALTR playing which was thought to be the music video, but that was over a month ago now. Could have just been for a tour video backdrop or something. They've left it a bit late now that it's off the Radio 2 playlist but it would still be nice to have one, just from a fan-perspective.
Ya I would have liked a video too as its to have as a fan.
Maybe the lyric video is as much as we’ll be getting?
That is likely the best outcome with the gap since the official release.
92 on iTunes
Even a tour video would help give this a boost!
It'll be a shame if there doesn't end up being one, but it does seem that they've missed the boat.
I think Music too sad or Lost Without you will get a Nov release and will be a tour inspired video to sell new version of album
Up to #21 on the radio airplay chart, outpeaking 'Golden'.
Radio peaks:
19 Dancing
18 Stop Me From Falling
22 Golden
21 A Lifetime to Repair
Good start to the week
75th on UK Itunes....
Going by the tour list i agree that the outcome you say is most likely true which i find hugely disappointing.
This era is now going to be until Glastonbury in June........ plenty more to come especially with new songs on a new release no doubt.
Upto 18 on the rolling airplay chart, was 20 yesterday.
Great result on airplay - should help people seek out the album and keep sales up!
http://comparemyradio.com/tracks/Kylie_Minogue/A_Lifetime_To_Repair
Not all radio stations show up on Compare My Radio so it’ll be most likely getting better plays on the smaller stations as they target older audiences who would appreciate Kylies music.
Edit:- it’s now playing on Asda Fm Live as I wrote this
Lifetime to Repair is a great song, the remix new version I adore.... wish we had an official video for the release - it could have been an exclusive at the tour.... I remember all the Garibay videos that were just stunning and so exciting
Guess we’re not getting anything other than the lyric video for this then Said lots of times but the handling of the singles this era have been a hot mess.
I just hope that if they do release MTSWY that they give it a proper push to support the album.
Release 'Lost Without You' challenge, do that challenge x
Id prefer to see musics too sad with you as a single but it wont happen as her not performing it on the tour probably shows it wont be happening.
