I'd like her to touch on the sort of thing she got with 'Timebomb' and 'Glow', and to make an album of that sort of quality. Or even just something anthemic, or an artistic exploration like Impossible Princess as she's got nothing to lose commercially any more.
With Kiss Me Once, in hindsight some of it is quite 'basic' and business as usual Kylie. Either way I don't expect we'll get an album for at least another 15 months.
I cant see any album coming this year, most likely mid 2017, apart from a possible re issue of Kylie Christmas. I hope Kylie stays away from some of the work she has this last year or so as i havnt really enjoyed any of that music. Its very hard to call whats the best move for Kylie.
Commercially she probably hasnt anything to lose, based on my own likes id love an all out pop album. Some of my favourite Kylie singles are different in sound though so i cant put my finger on what sound im looking for. All the Lovers was the last Kylie single i can honestly say i loved, but i really enjoyed Aphrodite as an album. I think to match what i like and possibly achieve some commercial success i would like a sound similar to a mixture of slow and breathe if that's possible. Ideally the ext album will have a monster lead single like Cant get you out of my head but thats not likely to happen. A killer duet could be no harm either if they could come up with the right sound.
Personally I would love her to work with Garibay on a Impossible Princess / X hybrid album
I would like some real dance orientated pop..
on the lines of the Change Your Mind song from 'X' era....
I would also like a Confide In Me re-release
Def not a confide in me re-release, once was enough thank you very much. X was a mixed album but had a good and a bad half, an album on the lines of the good half including stompers like The One and Like a Drug would be nice for the new album.
Something that sounds in line with all her works with Garibay, both EPs are equally good in their different ways.
Giorgio Moroder to be her next producer please!
I want something mature sounding...not Kiss me once. Kylie Christmas and Abbey Roads were both fantastic. Her voice was amazing and the songs sounded so good.
The Abbey Roads Sessions were good, Flower was the standout on this era. I would love her to work with an orchestra, it worked fantastically well on the Kylie Christmas show, i really think she could produce a great album from going down this avenue.
Dark and twisted electro pop please. Alanis Morissette meets GaribayKylie.
Oh by the way, a duet album with Dannii would be lovely and then they can go on to tour together.
No.
Why not? I actually want them to work together for a whole album.
I would question would a Kylie and Dannii duet album be excellent or a complete disaster.
I can't see a whole Kylie/Dannii album being a major success - I think it would only be popular with hardcore fans. However, another Kylie/Dannii duet along the disco/pop avenue of 100 degrees would certainly be welcome.
I think anything Kylie releases wouldn't really achieve sales outside the core fanbase anyway.
A Kylie/Dannii collab album would be a commercial disaster and ruin both their careers.
They should've done a collab back in the early 2000s, would've been a guaranteed #1 hit.
It did seem odd they never made the most of them both being popular at the same time.
Any rumours about who she is working with for the new album? Or is she even recording?
I thought she'd already started on it and was aiming for 2016 release?
I very much doubt it'll be this year, I just can't see it. Summer 2017 at the earliest.
Did I dream it then? Its pretty likely.
Honestly, I think she has a greater chance to sell more albums by releasing it at the end of the year.
She looked really well at the Princes trust awards and that picture with Joanna Lumley..... ahhhhhhhhhhh gorgeous pair.
fingers crossed she has had the last week of Dec off and whole of January with her boyf so now I would hope a new album...... could well come in the autumn... but more likely 2017....
I can also see another greatest hits coming out low key.....
She's had exactly zero hits since the last one, pointless much?
I can just see a Parlophone one coming...
SHe's not with Parlo anymore, if one was happening it would have done so already.
I am not sure which record company is willing to sign her following the dismal performance of KMO.
It was hardly dismal, besides, Kylie Christmas did better and she is still a valuable name, it'd be dumb to assume she'd get better than a Gold album or a top 20
single these days.
I would be surprised if she struggled to get a label - I imagine she's still pretty profitable with mediocre album sales, even if her promotional budget has to be slashed significantly from what it once was. It's not as if she got dropped by Parlo - she wanted to go, didn't she?
She was on an album by album type of deal I think, so after each era she had the choice to either stay or go.
She was in the Studio today with Guy Chambers...... a good sign...
Guy Chambers? The guy that produced Kids for her and Robbie, no thanks, sounds so 90s to me.
:/ he's written and produced songs since then, he's hardly going to do Kids pt.2. Besides, we don't know if its writing or producing yet.
Working with Bonnie McKee her stuff is amazing and might prove fruitful for Kylie.
bonniemckee: Just @kylieminogue without a stitch of makeup looking like a goddess. 😍 blissful day at the studio yesterday w Kylie and #cutfather #danieldavidson #peterwallevik
Although worryingly, the guys she's with worked on Million Miles and Sexy Love.
I always welcome a Kylie release and new material. On this occasion i wont raise my hopes too much as i have felt so disappointed by all her recent output.
Sounds interesting.
The last album I enjoyed by her was X so I'm not holding my breath. Still hopeful though
The next album sounds interesting but for me Kylie has been a bit hit and miss in the last 10 years. Kylie Christmas was good, KMO was bad, Aphrodite was good but X wasn't.
X was and remains excellent in parts and forgettable in others, but some songs are sublime that i enjoy immensely. Aphrodite has one of my favourite ever Kylie songs, All The Lovers and is a solid album. Kiss Me Once is disappointing and forgettable. Kylie Christmas was average, that said it was the Kylie Christmas Show that made that era rather than the album itself. The non album singles dropped in the last 2 years have been awful.
I love "Million Miles" so I'm okay with that, though KMO was very mixed for me.
I'd also take something in the vein of "Get Outta My Way" - The global smash that never was
I never got the whole Get Outta my Way love, with singles up to that point of her career it was very mediocre.
On which record label will the album be released? And has Kylie found a new management company yet?
Both seem to be up in the air right now.
So, her FB has been updated with these images:
And there's a new logo apparantly
Neither scream Christmas or follow the feel of the calendar, so maybe new music is on the way? But knowing Kylie it'll be a small tour where she only sings songs with Love in the
title or something shit like perfume.
New album confirmed for 2017!
I wonder if she will still release it through Parlophone.
I seriously think this could be Kylie's last studio album given her age and down turn in sales over recent years. I just can't see her carrying on forever but think she will continue to make money by touring.
I welcome the news of working with people from the golden eras of Light Years and Fever.
She wont have the success she once had but it would be wonderful to be able to fully enjoy her music again.
Quietly excited...
Would a summer release similar to Aphrodite be the likely outcome here?
I reckon she should stick with her usual November timeline to get more sales in Christmas.
Ideally, I'd want a lead single in time for the summer, then a second single getting a push at the same time of the album release in October time. Kylie always gets good winter promo slots but I wouldn't want her to risk release too close to the Christmas market in case the album gets lost in the charts, so October seems a good compromise to get a good peak and hopefully decent sales in the run up to Christmas, where she is bound to get a Strictly and/or X Factor slot as well as a performance on a chat show etc.
Very valid points, looking at sales October is better for her although on a lower position. A summer release would increase her chances of number of 1.
Ideally, Kylie would release in Summer and get a number 1 album. October should see a full on re-release with heavy promotion, its an approach that could work if she has strong enough material to promote. Both Kylie and the record company need to concentrate on promoting the album and investing in the album to push it. Rick Astley is a fine example of how you can have a hit album (exceeding all expectations) if handled properly.
Kylie is in a stronger position than Rick Astley and could easily achieve a platinum album if the campaign is handled correctly. That said, i cant see the album doing any more than 100,000 and outside the lead single the rest of the campaign will be a total mess.
No no NO to the re-release bullshit. Waste of time and effort. Why save songs and promotion till after all hype has gone?
Never before has Kylie been able to deliver a halfway decent re-release. Nothing to suggest she ever will.
That is my point, she hasnt so its about time she learned.
She hasn't learned in 30 odd years so why waste time trying now?
No, but she has learned how to turn her career around on more than one occasion.
It was a lot easier to come back from that at the turn of the century though, plus she wasn't in as bad a position as she's in now and she's a lot older as well.
I would have thought she was in a worse position career wise before she signed to parlophone,the singles (wrongly so) flopped, Impossible Princess was a flop and she was seen by many seen as a has been. As bad as Kiss Me Once was, it sold better than Impossible Princess and she was still doing very well on her tours which was also not the case back in 1999.
That said, age, as sad as it is to say, is against her this time round.
I just don't see it, at this stage I'm fairly certain she'll never have a top 40 hit again.
I can see her getting a Top 40 hit quite easily, but achieving any further weeks there will be a struggle.
I know it was seen as disappointing at the time, but I'd be absolutely thrilled to see her manage a chart run like she did for 'Into the Blue' at this point in time.
A Timebomb-esque low top 40 hit is the very best she can hope for now as she just won't get the streams, sadly, but she could quite feasibly get an iTunes top 20 with a lead single.
I couldn't really care less about singles success for her now though, as anybody her age is practically a write-off in terms of single chart success due to the crappy ageism in the industry and the way streaming metrics work against anybody of a certain age even moreso now.
I just want a killer pop album that doesn't try to chase trends to get a hit, but stands tall on its own merits, which Kiss Me Once arguably struggled to do.
There's no reason she can't have a decent-sized album if the material is good and appealing to the people that are likely to buy it (coming out with a tropical house track isn't going to sell albums and it won't help her have a hit single again either).
I would like to believe Kylie can have a hit again, but to stand a slight chance of doing so she needs a strong song. Another banger like Cant Get You Out Of My Head would be ideal, but unlikely.
I do know age is a problem, and radio is ageist but Kylie;s biggest problem is the music. The singles are either not strong enough or the release strategy is an absolute disaster. For Kylie to have a hit she has a few issues to address that she has control of to fix.
She has been working with Lauren Aquilina today *.* Kylie is coming for an incredible ballad.
I have enjoyed several of Kylie;s ballads but it appears most fans do not enjoy them as much.
Unfortunately, streaming and lack of airplay will go against Kylie in terms of singles. The only chance of a reasonable hit is with someone like Calvin Harris. However, I do believe she could sell a decent number of albums if the right material is released. It needs to be a maturer sound suitable for her age and not all this cringey sex stuff like on kiss me once or Americanised sound.
Considering who she is working with, there's a chance whatever she did with Lauren could be a melancholic up or mid tempo. Let's not write everything off before we
know anything.

I can't wait for this album !!
Really should have been posted in the album thread but I'll let it stay here for now.
Good news in the article, sounds like a return (lyrically) to the Impossible Princess days. The Sigala song sounds good too.
Best bit was
I don't want to get my hopes up because I know what the media are like for over-hyping things but, I have to admit, I am liking what I'm hearing from that article. Working with big pop producers; 90s dance throwback; LGBTQ protest songs - it's like Kylie has dropped the attempts to reclaim younger audiences and is just embracing everything that her fans love and want from her.
I'm not allowing myself to get my hopes up for this as I was so disappointed with Kiss me Once,sometimes I think the next album can only be better. I'd love another Light years style comeback.
I think this album will be a lot better than kiss me once. When she started with Parlophone, they released light years which is still one of her best albums released under that label. She is working with some cool producers so Ive got my fingers crossed. She's unlikely to have a big hit again thanks to streaming but she still has a loyal fan base!
Ya, regardless of the song she will struggle with the singles, id be happy for a top 20 for the lead single, i hope she releases a phyisical cd single version as she has the fan base (me included) who would buy it. Take That done this with Giants and it was what got it into the top 15.
I really can't see her realistically having a top 40 hit ever again, especially in this current climate.
A Sigala produced song excites me.
I'd say top 40 is achievable, but somewhere between 25-39. Certainly not top 20 or above. Album will be safely top 10 and at least Silver, which is all we can hope for.
I believe top 40 is extremely achievable for her if she gets everything right. A good song that her fans want, good promotion and marketing would be hugely helpful and i would totally welcome a physical release either on vinyl or cd or possibly both. Doing this could potentially add 10,000 sales on release week.
Her album should go minimum top 5, again, if released at the right time, on a quiet week she could be in the running for number 1.
Come up on my Facebook feed that Kylie's working with songwriter Amy Wadge.
She's co-written a shitload of songs with Ed Sheeran so wouldn't be surprised if one of the songs is pushed as a single in attempt to get a hit.
ala 'I Was Gonna Cancel'.
Pretty much. I hope it works for Kylie, not necessarily in terms of the charts, but in terms of actually sounding good. Anything associated with Ed Sheeran usually has me rolling my eyes, but 'Say You Love Me' worked fantastically for Jessie Ware, for instance, so I'm hoping for a similar sort of success.
I am not what i would say excited on this news as it does not shout Pop Single. She has said she is going back to her pop roots. If this news is true, i get a sense she is chasing trends and as we clearly saw with I was Gonna Cancel this was disastrous for her.
The writing suggests nothing about the sound though?
I got sent another feed yesterday that Kylie is working on a country-influence album and that she is currently recording in Nashville.
I really doubt she's gonna go Country for a whole album, at most there might be a banjo twang or two.
Yeah, I can't see the country genre taking an influence in more than one or two songs, either.
I'm starting to have serious doubts about the new album. I'm dreading that I could end up finding it worse than kiss me once. I know I have to wait until I hear the music but I really want a Kylie album that I honestly enjoy rather than buying an album to keep my kylie collection complete.
I don't even think Kiss Me Once was a bad album at all. It was just all rather safe and Kylie-by-numbers just done better in the past. Songs like 'Into the Blue', 'Feels So Good' and 'Sleeping with the Enemy' though are among my favourite Kylie tracks.
I think people need to calm down and stop hating on the album before we've even heard anything. None of us know what these songs will sound like or even if they'll make the final cut.
Not here for a country album, giving me Joanne teas. Otherwise, really excited for new Kylie music!
Maybe Kylie's gonna give us her own 'Malibu' or something?
I'll reserve judgement until I hear anything. I'm still excited about Sigala.
At most I see her "country" stuff ending up like Taylor's Red era stuff, i.e pop with a slight country hint.
Something like this would be acceptable too though
The album isnt a country album, she was just in Nashville writing with some songwriters. The album is sad to have a 90s dance feel, and the influence is said to be the DNA remix of Toms Diner.
Album looking like either a Q4, or spring 2018 release. See below from Kylie informant...
"It MIGHT be spring again now. Like I keep saying, try not to get bogged down by expectation. Everything is still up in the air. But be encouraged. They’re not letting the album out until, at least they perceive it’s amazing. Obviously fans will be the final judge, but there’s no arbitrary deadline which sacrifices what they think is quality this time. If they finish it in time for November great. If it’s not ready, it’s March. In which case, we’ll probably get a single or two this year. She’s back in London now, and immediately into writing sessions.
I’m glad they’re adopting this tact. Body Language, X and KMO were all rushed to meet specific release dates, and each one would have benefitted a great deal from a few months extra to hone the direction. Fever was rushed too, but they got lucky with those amazing singles.
Arguably Light Years and Impossible Princess are her best albums. They both took quite some time. Kylie’s at her best when she’s inspired and not under time pressure."
I like the thought of getting more than one pre-album single tbh.
Working with DJ Fresh and Karen Poole.
I'd love for this album to put her back on the map
Soem extra info on the Sigala track http://celebratekylie.com/2017/08/10/get-ready-kylies-new-track-with-sigala-has-got-some-seriously-funky-throwback-vibes/
I'm going to need this really soon, please.
Imagine if she randomly dropped it tomorow to overshadow Dannii *.*
A snippet of a song called Beat of my Heart, rumoured ot be from the album sessions has leaked
https://soundcloud.com/heart-c0re/kylie-minogue-beat-of-my-heart-snippet
From the OCC:
I would rather her to get into a promotion campaign to push the first single in Jan, released the second single in Feb, the third in March, then an album and a tour.
I can't help but think Kylie would be better to release something before Christmas, rather than in January when sales are usually quite low. Yeah, sure it's likely to perform better chart position wise but sales are likely to be poor. Kylie Christmas album peaked at no12 and that's for a Christmas album, with good promotion there is every reason to believe she could achieve a top5 album with healthy sales if the material is right.
BREAK UP KYLIE IS MY SPIRIT ANIMAL.
January is better, she may get lost in the Xmas market.........
She can do promo in Jan & Feb , maybe a TV special/January promo and build the album for the whole year with pricing campaigns etc
the Xmas songs streaming will just have finished and their will be room for Kylie to added to Spotify playlists etc.
Posted on Kylie's Twitter yesterday:
Kylie was included in the Official Charts Company's list of Albums to Look Forward to in 2018:
Cowboy style ... Kylie’s Parton gift to us all
As 2017 hangs up its hotpants, we’re further from Spinning Around than that song was from I Should Be So Lucky, so it is safe to say Kylie’s turn-of-the-millennium comeback has been something of a success. Kylie will be aiming for her 16th Top 10 album in 2018, with songs that showcase a new focus on lyrical storytelling via themes of “freedom, self-discovery, life and love”. “The album,” Kylie tells the Guide in a short but perfectly formed email that represents the absolute textual embodiment of that’ll-do-nicely, “is a collision of some elements of country and dance, made at the altar of Dolly Parton standing on a dancefloor.”
It will be Kylie’s first album for new label BMG, where she has been reunited with the A&R bigwig who oversaw her 21st-century relaunch, with collaborators including DJ Fresh and long-term associates Biff Stannard and Karen Poole. Recorded throughout 2017, it shifted gear following a trip to Nashville, where the album “found its heart”. “There’s a little bit of heartbreak, I would say,” Kylie noted in October. “But we bounce back. Most of it is super-positive and inspiring, as a note to self as much as anything else. I’m feeling great right now.” PR
Yee-haw! Other dance-country hybrids:
• Rednex Cotton Eye Joe
• Shania Twain Man, I Feel Like a Woman
• Avicii Wake Me Up
• Steps 5, 6, 7, 8
• Madonna Don’t Tell Me

I've read on popjustice that according to someone who is in the know, the new single will be out on 16th February and the album to follow on 2nd March. If true, not long away and I'll be in Australia myself then!!!
Great ! Can't wait for the new music from her !
I just want a good pop album from her and an album I enjoy,I'd settle for even enjoying just a few songs on the album.
Realistically what's everyone sales expectations for the album? For me if she can outsell kiss me once it would be great.
I'd love a number 1 even if on low sales, a sixth number 1 would be great.
I don't think there's any reason why she can't still go Gold with solid promo and well-received songs, but it's hard to tell at this stage how well she'll do.
In terms of first week performance, if she's going for a March release, then she'll easily get another high peak, if not #1.
I think what will realistically happen, it'll go top 5 on fanbase sales and drop out of the top 100 after 4 or 5 weeks. Selling 40,000 approximately in total.
Has anyone seen her Instagram? New music tomorrow?
Country pop duet with Justin Timberlake.
I'm here for a Kylie & JT collab!
All I think about when I hear dance and country together is this:
Kylie would've slayed it tbh
That would work so well for Kylie! It's got just the right amount of novelty and is such an instant banger. Deliver, Kylie, deliver!
Gimme a banger like this Mini
A friend in the know has told me that apparently the first single is a "dance-pop banger" but apparently most of the rest of the album is more mid-tempo but with vague (but not overwhelming) country influences. Apparently it's more "cohesive".
Apparently it was originally supposed to be 90s dance inspired but the entire direction of the album changed once Nashville happened and the earlier material got scrapped.
I keep thinking that the first single could just drop unannounced any day now and I'm so excited for it!! I can still remember the first time I heard 'Into the Blue' and thought it was so euphoric; I could just listen to it non-stop and still be filled with the same level of joy each time.
Either way i dont think we are too far away from hearing the new material. I hope when they release the single, they go for it and not be messing around with instant grat releases etc.
As i said in a previous post im not allowing myself to get too excited. I was really hyped up for the kiss me once era and while i do like into the blue i wasn't hugely excited when i first heard it.
Apparently the new single is titled 'Dancing'
If I’m Dancing teas.
Album apparantly called Golden.
Golden as in golden anniversary as in 50 years - love it!
Yes! Really happy with that title. Kylie seems to really embrace marking anniversaries and putting celebrations in place and it makes it so exciting to be a fan. Looking forward to what this year will have in store.
First single is a reworked version of Golden Boy featuring Cardi B.
The album title is very apt.
Here's the tweet Kylie posted confirming the title:
I'm seeing some people have already listened to this? Idk if it's leaked or not 😂
Anyway I'm really hyped for this *.*
Unless it's just people in the business? Wouldn't surprise me if it did leak though as I do seem to remember 'Into the Blue' did and Kylie has a dedicated fanbase so someone is bound to want to get in there first and leak it.
"Golden" as a title seems to have hit and miss opinions on it but I personally really like it. I'm totally ready for that Goldfinger-esque album cover. *.*
None of her titles have been overly imaginative though. The most interesting I'd say would be Impossible Princess.
Apparantly the Jack Savoretti duet will be on this, I hope so anyway.
^I heard that too. I was scrolling through Popjustice and there was a "rumoured" tracking list with it on, although no sign of 'Dancing' at this point so who knows.
I can't remember how the song goes though and I can't find it on YouTube now, but I'd be up for a new collab between the two. I'd also love another Hurts duet at some point.
The album is on the release schedule for March 2nd.
I quite like 'Golden' I assumed this was the name due to her turning 50 this year and thats the 'Golden' anniversary year.
I'm ready for new Kylie music, I'm currently listening to 'Body Language' album
I've checked Music Week and there's no date for the single nor album there at the moment. However a March release does seem about right for the album. I imagine Kylie will get similar promo slots as she did for Kiss Me Once - Sports Relief, The Voice, Graham Norton Show. Would be good if she could get a slot on Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway and Dancing On Ice too.
Heard rumours she's due to feature in an episode of RuPaul's Drag Race too. *.* Also, I imagine a Carpool Karaoke with James Corden is a given.
I really want the Drag Race thing to be true. It opens a big market for her, more and more younge rpeople are getting into it and now it's on a bigger network.
I've not watched in full before but I do think that would be a really good opportunity for her and it would really give the fans a treat.
I actually had a dream the other night that an album track was called 'who the hell killed disco music's
Popjustice are saying there's a song called 'Rolling Stone' floating around that is supposedly for Golden. No links supplied though and nothing's coming up online.

Lost Without You
Music's Too Sad Without You by Kylie Minogue & Jack Savoretti
Take that with a pinch of salt. Although i think most (if not all) are confirmed as being real songs.
As long as I get my Jack duet I'm happy. His sound actually fits in with her new one (he has some country vibes and electro stuff) and I really think their voices will blend together. The clips of it sound gorgeous too. A nice piano ballad to end the album <3
This is a mess, apparantly the album has had the same thing happen to it as Double Dutchess (I.e someone has snatched it from the servers) Not sure if it's true but MY GOD, do Kylie's team not understand the internet?
There are discussions today about bringing the releases forward.
'Raining Glitter' better be camp as f***.
Terrible news about the album leak if true. Why does this always happen to my faves?! Quick note though: can we avoid sharing links to any of these leaks should anyone come across them. If they're out there, people can search them theirselves.
Didn't she leak the whole of KMO before release so everyone can listen to a 5 min sampler..... I don't think Kylie song leak is that troublesome..... but a whole album leak is bad.
It's not leaked per say, apparantly someone has managed to bag it from a server or someting. I also think the people who got Fergie's album waited a few months befor eleaking it, so it might not leak.
Anyway, Kylie and her team need to hurry the f*** up and officially confirm stuff. The fact that the single has LEAKED and she's not even confirmed the title of it is bull
If the album does leak then they need to do a Rebel Heart (stick the pre-order up with a few songs available right away) Dancing + the Jack duet since they are both out there anyway.
I'm aware but it most likely will be most of the tracklist.
The promo posters that have been circling in France suggests we should be getting SOMETHING tomorrow.
I'd say we'll most likely have confirmation on single and album details and perhaps artwork too.
She'll be buying a gold dress in a boutique before casually mentioning there's an album. [/promo]
She has changed her picture on her twitter etc ..... she has been very quiet there also....... she is getting ready no doubt........
WOW she changed her twitter photo. Meanwhile the single has leaked and the album runs the risk of doing the same and all she's done is mention the album title in a tweet and change her icon.
She will not want to give exposure to the leaks etc.... the less people know about them the better. Then boom on Friday she will release, all impact on release week.
She hasn't given any exposure to anything regarding the album bar one teet mentioning the title. It's all meant to be out in the next month or so and there is zero hype for it. No time to build pre-orders or excitement. At the moment the only people who know/care are some thirsty gays.
It is annoying how quiet things are on social media. I get that the leak has messed plans up a bit and they have to put measures in place to bring things forward, but social media should be a pretty easy tool to use to help combat the issues surrounding the leak. Hopefully we'll get something sufficient tomorrow.
I remember when Madonna's Rebel Heart album was first hit by major leaks and they revealed the album cover, as well as releasing a handful of songs as instant grats, which got people talking online and there was the novelty of inserting different faces onto the album cover. Obviously even more damaging leaks occurred after, but it helped bring about a positive aura for a while.
She will be letting her fillers settle down before her appearances.......
It takes little to no effort to announce something on twitter or Instagram. Hell even a video teaser like Justin Timberlake did. The album is clearly finished and they should have made plans for promo ages ago so that is something happens they can quickly change things.
You'd think she would learn by now. Half of the X album leaked months before it came out. Into The Blue leaked....yet the same thing happens and nothing.

All tracks are co-written by Kylie
Sky Adams co wrote and produced Dancing, Stop Me From Falling, Lifetime To Repair and Love. Also mentioned more tracks for the deluxe edition.
That's two days in a row I've started to wonder if we'll get something announced and shortly after we get something!
I'm liking those song titles. Pleased 'Raining Glitter' is on there - I know titles aren't evidence of what the song will be like, but I do get a good feeling about this one.
Nice to see the Jack Savoretti duet made it!
WONDER SOMTHING ELSE LIAM. LIKE IF SEBASTIAN STAN IS IN THE DANCING VIDEO
Sky Adams, who produced and co-wrote 'Dancing', says he worked on 'Stop Me From Falling', 'A Lifetime To Repair' and 'Love'.

Apparently there's a deluxe version to be released with four more tracks. I hope it's not a repeat of Kiss Me Once where two of the best tracks were the bonus ones.
Much excite!
I'm glad the tracklist was posted, when I saw it on Instagram earlier there were a couple I couldn't quite make out.
Are they bringing forward the release of the album?
I think we will know the release date of the album on friday with the release of Dancing...
Hearing news that Jack isn't on Music's Too Sad which BUMS ME OUT. Would be a bit cheao too since he helped write it and was so excited about having a song with her,
I had heard that but I think it's all speculation at this point, based on him not being credited when the tracking list was officially released. I'd be surprised if she recorded just a solo version - from what it seems, it is more his song, plus their voices are going to go great together and it's a good opportunity if it ended up getting pushed by adult radio.
I mean he doesn't have any solo bits so maybe it's not being credited as a duet? He seems ot just appear on the chorus. I hope he's still on it. It's the one I am most
looking forward to, and it wasn't on the movie soundtrack anyway.
Yeah that may be it. I hope so anyway.
Maybe I should wish for confirmation that Jack's on the song?
Pls do.
Um. Wow.
Loving all these colours in the photoshoots. The shades of purple are divine.
Golden out 6th April. Pre order from midnight tonight!
That’s quite a long wait. Sounds like we’ll definitely get at least another single before the album drops.
I was hoping for March or so. I can only assume we'll get another one too.
Good review here that confirms that there is no "straight up Kylie electronic dance moments" and that Jack is indeed on Music's Too Sad
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/lifestyle/melbourne/first-review-kylies-new-single-dancing-is-country-meets-club/news-story/6e284ab9ec7c514f7d6db53837b2b195
Looks like no physicals for the singles. She sounded nhappy from Berlin on the radio. Didn't seem to hint she was doing any UK promo this week
April is later than I was expecting but it would be nice if she started promoting a second single around that time. Gives it 11 weeks on pre-order! Coming for that #1!
Pleased to hear confirmation that Jack is on 'Music's No Good Without You' and I like how it's compared to her and Nick Cave's duet. Also fab to hear that 'Raining Glitter' is going to be the camp moment we all deserve in our lives.
Cover
Gorgeous. Stunning. Amazing. Brilliant. Radiant.
And the bonus tracks are apparantly:
Lost Without You
Every Little Part Of Me
Rollin'
Low Blow
There will be a CD, Deluxe CD, Vinyl, clear Vinyl. Picture disc Vinyl, super deluxe vinyl with a book and......cassette.
I actually really love it!!
Kylie covering Limp Bizkit on the deluxe?
Apparently there's a standard edition, a deluxe, a vinyl, a clear vinyl, picture vinyl, super deluxe vinyl+CD+book and a cassette! Get them multiple stan buys.
I've updated the OP with the cover and track list.
Excellent
From social media, just confirming what we already know:
Adoring the cover more every time I look at it. Adore how it channels one of my all time fave albums too
Even the font isn't looking too bad. I just love that sunset glow the cover has.
The font defo lends itself more to this rustic Country look rather than the glittery one in the Dancing cover.
It's gonna look amaze in vinyl format
Definitely! I'd rather the single cover remained fontless tbh.
And yes I'm so looking forward to seeing the vinyl! That cover is going to look so good! I'll be purchasing the CD for sure but I'll probably get the vinyl too if the whole package looks just as good.
Not a fan of the album cover, at all. The "Dancing" one looks so much better. The yellow tone makes her look ill
Pre-order is live in some countries so we have trqkc lengths http://i64.tinypic.com/2e58q6b.png
Jack officially credited
Seeing this on the OCC main page makes me so happy:
2018. Year of the Gays.
I'm assuming some tech peson did this, but a version of the album without all the gold
That looks really pretty too but I do really adore the golden glow.
She looks... like someone who is immensely high on the album cover.
I think I quite like it.
https://www.facebook.com/kylieminogue/videos/10156214864925116/
Gorgeous!
Maybe if she gets enough to prevent orders she will release earlier. It's a good ploy she can release on a quiet week and get a high position
the Lauren Aquilina song never made the album. BOOOOOO
I can't decide which bundle to go with! I wish the CD/Vinyl Photo Book was available separately, same for the Dancing 7".

I think the deluxe one smight be a bit wrong as Sky mentioned he co wrote them. Either way, nice to see her so involve din this album. Even on the production side.
Sense this will be like Hilary Duff's last album where it's kinda split between country-ish songs and more traditional pop based on these credits.
Liz Rose *.*
Fantastic insight to the album there. Really got me excited for it and it feels like this is the most excited Kylie has been about a full record in a long time too.
Actually buzzing to hear 'Raining Glitter' now! Release it as an instant grat, Kylie!!
GOLDEN releasedo 6th April, Commonwealth Games on Gold Coast, Australia 4-17 of April. Would be good promo
Is she performing in the Games then?
Australia is over her now so I doubt it.
http://celebratekylie.com/2018/01/27/kylie-minogue-golden-the-album-description
Nice write up on album etc. Good info.
Voice final is a day after album release so I guess she may appear
That write up has already been posted. AND you have already mentioned The Voice in the Dancing topic.
Has a bonus track been confirmed for the Japanese market yet?
If there was it'd be posted. It's not like people are keeping it a secret.
She’s just teased a tour announcement on Instagram!!
Popjustice tells me that someone on Say Hey has revealed the Golden Tour is going to be announced soon, allegedly with dates in Dublin, Belfast, Manchester, Glasgow, Nottingham, Birmingham and two in London, taking place in September/October.
I also read that so far there are about 10K worth of pre orders, not bad. I can see it opening with more sales than Justin, but knowing Kylie, who knows.
Looks like Bournemouth International Centre announcing a gig tomorrow at 10am for an artist who has had over 30 top 10 UK chart hits ....... The plot thickens...... Elton? Kylie?
Omg she just tweeted !!! 8am tomorrow!!!!!!!!! UK and Ireland Tour coming. Liverpool Echo mistakenly did a snippet for 23rd September which has now been deleted. Tut tut
I'll be fuming if the tickets go on sale before payday. I have no money whatsoever until then.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5423899/amp/Kylie-Minogue-announces-plans-UK-tour.html?__twitter_impression=true
UK and Ireland Tour announced tomorrow
Tickets on sale 2nd march

Kylie's headlining the 29th Annual White Party Palm Springs, which takes place 27th to 30th April.
https://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/the-wrap/article/Kylie-Minogue-to-Headline-29th-Annual-White-Party-12676786.php
Let's be honest she has only released UK and Ireland dates so she can mention on her promo slots on Saturday. Europe and Australia will follow no doubt
I'm booked in for surgery on the 4th, how bloody RUDE, how am I meant to enjoy the release of Golden when I'm bed ridden?
#pray4me
Golden back in the Top 20 on Amazon's best sellers - #4 on pre-orders.
It’s #1 on the iTunes pre order chart now!
I don't know what that means I don't stream.
Basically it just means when the album is released, the album will already be added to your library. It's like the streaming version of pre-ordering.
Could some one do a Golden Poll for week 1 chart position and sales please? Its close enough to the time for us to start predicting. I am just useless at using this site!
Made a quick one on my phone but seems to have worked!
thank you
This is part of a banner on itunes for best selling pre-orders, whcih is some good promo and should encourage a few orders.
Interesting to see Amy Wadge zooming up UK iTunes on her own right with Faiths Song. Played a big part of Golden
Rumours of Raining Shitter being a big old gay banger.
I'd be disappointed if it wasn't with a name like that!
BIG hopes for the BMG Kylie album
http://www.musicweek.com/labels/read/kylie-minogue-s-country-tinged-return-promises-new-golden-age-for-bmg/071785
Radio On will be the death of me
"We were close to Heaven
Now it's gone to Hell"
I'd be surprised if it sold less than 30k first week. Maybe I'm tempting fate though...
New Elton John album of reworked songs with different artists coming out on April 6th, bye bye #1
BMG are confident and obviously know how many pre-orders they have in the bag no doubt to start mentioning biggest first week sales etc......
I think you will be surprised by her numbers.... she has had it on pre-sale for over 2 months...... all those different formats, plus the downloads to get the special codes for the concerts etc......
I am going for 30k+
on a separate note..... Elton John is releasing the same week as Kylie! ..... other artists covering his songs......... does it count or is it on compilations chart?
HMV Oxford Street MIDNIGHT Album launch signing!!!!!!!!!!! https://www.hmv.com/hmvlive/kylie-minogue excellent
Announcement about Elton. http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/elton-john-announces-new-album-revamp-featuring-ed-sheeran-lady-gaga-pink-and-the-killers__22319/
They don't comment which chart but how can it be in Artists chart if he doesn't sing on any of them..... Andre Reus... lol
I would have thought the two Elton albums would appear on the compilation chart considering it doesn't seem he'll feature on the tracks.
This is what I could find from the OCC about what qualifies for the album chart and compilation chart:
Interesting
Is Raining Glitter being released.............
Been added to Itunes with a track time etc.....
Someone tweeted Sigala and asked oif we would still here the Kylif track and he replied with a smile fsce still working on it
Kylie Golden sold all 4,000 copies of the cassette tape version! https://inews.co.uk/news/kylie-minogue-golden-album-leads-cassette-tape-revival-as-music-fans-rewind/
QUEEN of cassettes!
total UK cassette sales in 2017 20,000
kylie cassette sales in 2018.... 4,000+
EXCELLENT
https://kylie.tmstor.es/cart/product.php?id=36326 SOLD OUT. All 4,000 copies gone.
I really can't wait for this album
I’m so underwhelmed by this era so far. I like both Dancing and Stop Me From Falling, but I don’t love them. Haven’t preordered the album yet, but will have a listen first.
Golden and Radio On are brilliant. Evening Raining Glitter is casting a spell over me.
Still worried Greatest Showman may well keep her off top..... Streaming points huge
Kylie is on the phones for Sport Relief! Looks like she is sticking around
Slay a bit Mini.
^ Love those! The purple aesthetic has been my favourite.
-x-
Clips from her 60 Minutes Australia interview:
WOW George Ezra has sold 37.4k of albums and that's only after 3 days......... going to be number 1 by far, lets hope he slows down for 6th April
I imagine he'll still sell well by week 3 but I'd like to think Kylie could outsell him.
It would just give her a big boost if she had another number 1 album. fingers crossed.
Cardi Bs album is dropping on April 6 now! Her streaming sales will be huge but think Kylie will comfortably outsell her.
Who is Cardie B?
is she Sandy B's sister? You Make the World Go Round, you turn me upside down
I can't imagine Cardi B's album doing much in the UK.
Elton John is her biggest rival, and she'll probably lose to Revamp at least
EDIT: those probably go to compilation chart?
Yeah, his albums should appear on the compilation chart because they are credited as 'various artists'.
I would be extremely surprised with Cardi B beat Kylie. Cardi B, i thought would at most be a top 10 contender.
The Elton John revamp could if allowed chart on the main chart, but it is likely to chart in the compilation chart. That said, with Kylie's pre-orders and multi format release mixed with the casual buyer she remains in a strong position to enter at number 1.
Still really unsure how many Kylie will sell......
She has been on pre-order for ever..... but then never really been high in Amazon charts etc, HMV too though they have an exclusive vinyl.... it all depends how well those bundles have sold on her website........
Why do I feel the 30k estimate may be a bit high now?
BBC Radio 2 Album of the week from Saturday 31st ......
https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/playlist
Stop Me From Falling remains A-List
Sorry about 2 posts. I got a bit excited
I'd say she has remained consistently high on preorders tbh. Always seemed to be Top 10 on Amazons preorder chart and often been in their Top 40 overall sellers. Reckon she'll have had some really good preorders and with good release week promo, I don't think we need to worry too much about overestimating her. 30/40k seems perfectly doable.
Ok good.
Elvis Presley and Jonny Cash has an album coming out on 6th April.......
Could spell trouble?
https://www.zoom.co.uk/category/music/music_pre_order
I can’t see Kylie selling massively. Particularly when other artists who are more popular right now like Justin Timberlake haven’t done well. It would be good if she reached no1 but I can’t see it!
But this is the UK it's her biggest market for 30 years and she is still promoting herself and her brand but not in record sales anymore.
She has the promo which will help. And the multiple formats could also help her push.
Let's see! I am hoping for sales of around 17k by Monday chart update and 25k-30k in first week
She gets Album Of The Week in the Sunday Times who describe her vocals as Chipmunk!
Still they do get it right by saying Stop Me Falling is euphoric
Anyone know how Golden is charting already on Apple Music?
http://kworb.net/itunes/artist/kylieminogue.html
She is already at around 18k on pre orders as rumoured from insiders, she should be at 25k by monday chart update and sell 40k plus come friday...
People apparantly have the vinyl so it may leak soon, albeit in potato quality.
Lowkey want it to though so I can have it on wednesday.
Do you think it is anything to do with three songs being released from album that the album can now get streaming sales on those three songs being played on there own?
Doesn't it take 1500 songs streamed off one album to be one sale.
It's not iTunes is it? It is Apple streaming where it is charting
Music's Too Sad played today on Radio 2 and is STUNNING, the best song she's done in years. Her vocals are gorgeous and the best she's sounded in years too.
I am a hard core fan and have not bought anything yet
Need a few streaming sales too!!!!
The promo over the weekend is there to grab sales from the public .
Ive just listened to Music’s too sad without you and her voice was amazing! A beautiful song, full of passion!
The 18k pre orders rumour was from 4 weeks ago? Take with a pinch of salt......
Who knows what she has sold!
Lost Without You, one of Kylie's best songs ever? Biff Stannard seems to think so..... not his work but ......
It's only a bonus track on the deluxe version of Golden.
Let's see ....
Good to see some momentum building.
sales on Amazon of Golden are rising in the charts. Every little counts.
Media coverage building. In quite a few papers today. Metro, I, Evening Standard etc
Midweeks
The Greatest Showman' has so far sold 24k in the album chart (sales up 27% so far) & George is currently no2 on 17k.
So her competition will be TGS, who would have thought an OST album to last this long and still chart this high after months...
Anyway this week there was a rise for TGS because of the Vinyl release I guess, plus the Bank holidays in the UK, but still it will be close race next week with Golden.
Not long to wait now.
The streaming of TGS is getting 14k of sales....... that's going to hurt Kylie... I hope she can get 1-2k of sales through streaming in week one momentum.
so Kylie has a standard vinyl, a deluxe vinyl and a picture disc vinyl . that should get good sales.... if she has sold 4k of cassettes probably 2k in UK then all these formats must have sold the same or even more so she should have healthy pre-orders to be honest.
kylie has the promo
-Love is the LGBT love song
-Every Little Part of Me, Rollin’ and Live a Little follow the Dancing formula
-Lost Without You is uptempo and the least country song on the album
I guess it make sense why the four bonus tracks aren't on the main tracking list. Can't wait to hear 'Love'!
Jack Savoretti posting that he's pre-ordered his copy and praising our Queen *.*
"a true example that strength and kindness are a winning combination"
That's a couple thousand more people aware of the album
I cant quite believe it already here! Release week!
doesn't seem 2 minutes since we were searching around for snippets of Dancing in mid January
Really hope it is a success and it clicks with people
I have never pre-ordered from a store ever, this is my first time and first time getting a bundle, I just hope it comes on release day or before as I'm away after... Although that would mean buying a copy while away haha
Most stores are good for coming on release day. Sometimes you can get lucky and have it on the Thursday.
I got mine from Amazon and guaranteed a Friday delivery.
Leaky leak by the looks of it.
Lost Without You getting If Only comparisons omg.
She is currently nbr 1 on oz itunes... Will we be following album chart updates on this thread?
Yeah seems like best place to put them; all iTunes updates and chart positions for the singles were posted in their respective threads.
http://kworb.net/itunes/artist/kylieminogue.html
Top 10 in 11 countries so far on iTunes. A few of those though mean only a couple of copies will have been sold lol.
Not going to hold out much hope of the bundle arriving tomorrow, only just got email to say despatched
Mine will be here "before 11pm" coulda just gone to HMV
Some insiders are talking about the beyonce and jay z album being released tomorrow also... But maybe on Tidal only or maybe not, if this happens I will hate those 2 for the rest of my days... 😂
Wouldn't surprise me...... Wasn't t their 10th anniversary this week? Would only be downloads and streaming though no? But still they are both huge in those markets
Kylie on the One Show on Monday.
She has really been so unlucky with chart positions throughout her career with her endless nbr 2s... Such a shame if this haopens.
I think The Greatest Showman is the only real threat.
The fact that 30 years into her career she can even challenge (if only slightly) a #1 spot is amazing. Anything top 5 would be a good result for her
Golden debuts at 3 on Turkish iTunes chart and 2 in Russia
Top 7 in 15 countries now
Album is now out in the UK! 'A Lifetime to Repair' is #2 on the New Music Friday playlist, with 'Golden' appearing further down.

Number 9 worldwide. That's without USA added
But we all know Itunes not big sellers anymore but on first week it's important
http://kworb.net/aww/
My bundle is scheduled for delivery between 10:30am and 2:30pm (I did the Royal Mail tracked option). Not long now! *.* I've held off listening to the leak, so I'm very excited for it to finally arrive.
Love the album so far!
After 1 quick listen my favs so far are
Stop Me From Falling
Lost Without You
Golden
Radio On
Lifetime To Repair (this is number 3 on the Spotify New Music Friday list)
I know iTunes doesn't mean much these days but the pre-orders where obviously good and its a good start for her.
will probably all drop out in next few days but as we know physicals will sell well
Good UK promo coming up from tonight
I love the countrified album, it sounds good on a first listen!
My deluxe edition came this morning and I love the book design wub:
And not only that but my parents bought me the vinyl as a post surgery pick me up *.* the cover looks SO GOOD on the big vinyl cover.
Currently number 12 on Apple Music Album streaming! Excellent!

Its being reported that she has shifted 100,000 copies already (WW)
I can't wait to get home from work so I can bop to this record. I hope i really love it.
Wow thanks liam so good to read that the canpaign is a 18 months campaign meaning it will go on for half 2019 amd that there is a big plan for US.... Thats awesome times for Kykie and her fans around the world...
Okay so is it safe to say Lost Without You is one of her best songs ever and shold have been the lead?
That spoken part is to die for, it heaed my sight.
I don't think I've enjoyed a Kylie album this much on first listen, since X. What an album <3
My Bundle came , phew,, cut close though was just before 3pm! ...
stand outs so far, aside from Dancing and Stop Me From Falling...
Sincerely Yours
A Lifetime To Repair
Lost Without You
Raining Glitter
Musics Too Sad Without You
Lost Without You is wonderful a huge standout on a very strong album, great album on first listen.
This is such a huge improvement on Kiss Me Once.
LWY is like the natural continuation of If Only, which was the highlight of KMO.
The leap in quality, not only lyriclly but production wise from KMO is staggering. A lot fo people might not like it, but I love the slight imperfections in the mastering, it gives it a raw Nashville vibe and is almost like it was recorded live, kind like Jewel did with some of her album. The production lends itself to the tone and lyrics of the album and it allowd her emotion to shine through.
KMO suffered from overproduction, any hint of life and imperfection was removed and it resulted in a fairly flat, non descript album.
KMO came to me as rushed and cheap it lacked substance and in many ways Kylie seemed lost on that album.
Golden, feels like she has found herself again and the album has a feel of perfection to it.
I think the good thing is also that this album songs seen they can all be remixed to differing style and released as singles which can increase the longevity. A la gente de zona
Remixing the GOlen tracks will make them lose their quality and sincerity. As seen with Dancing, only the Initial Talk one works
Heard this whilst at work and really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to taking the time to listen to it and process it properly. But it was a very strong album from what I heard of it.
'Stop Me From Falling' might actually be my fave
The title track and Sincerely Yours are doing it for me so far (I listened on the way home from work so some of it got drowned out by my road rage)
Showman 43k of sales this week. Grrrrr. 12k of streaming
'Sincrely Yours' was a big standout on first listen.
Also I was absolutely convinced 'Radio On' would be an uptempo based on its title.
I am currently living the chorus of Live A Little. It comes from nowhere. Amazing
On first listen, it's great! It's nice to hear something different from her like this. It's not packed with obvious standout singles, but it flows organically as a thematic body of work.
You get the sense she's got a newfound freedom and positive outlook on life, and she's embracing that.
Sales picking up on Amazon. Digital now 4, Cds 5 and 9
Also, I'm pretty sure 'Dancing' and 'Rollin' must have been recorded back to back? They're basically the same song.
http://kworb.net/aww/

I got the album yetserday in Australia and will be listening to it when I go back to Hong Kong in two days time !
I think 'Sincerely Yours' is the one for me. It's stunning!
Radio on and music too sad just played on Radio 2 with Kylie and dermot
The Evening Standard's review is shocking. They seem to think 'Radio On' would have been a better comeback than 'Dancing'.
Idiots.
Parts of the album giveme 1989 vies and I am totally digging it. And some of it sounds like what I wanted Shania's last album to be like
The only one I am not totally loving is Live A Little, she is a bit drowned out in the chorus.
One Last Kiss, Lost Without You, Music's Too Sad and Low Blow are my highlights. Low Blow is so quirky and crazy, it's like a Hoedown Nu-di-ty and I adore it.
One Last Kiss has such a gorgeous chorus and I can listen over and over.
Dancing and Raining Glitter actually rank in the lower ends of the album for me, RG especially kinda falls flat a but for me in th context of the album as a whole.
SMFF really stands up against the other songs and I feel like it (or Lost Without You or OLK) should have been the lead.
I love the new album. It’s a massive turn around from Kiss me once. Highlights include Golden, Stop me from falling, Sincerely yours, raining glitter and A lifetime to repair. Her vocals sound much better on this album and the overall sound & production is far more authentic to who Kylie is as an artist. This album feels like the start of an exciting new journey and reminds me of my excitement when her career turned around upon the release of Light Years, which incidentally is probably my joint favourite Parllophone era album. I also think it will perform better than I first anticipated. It’s no1 on iTunes, performing well on streaming and has some great reviews.
Kylie getting excited by her cassette is the most adorable thing I've seen all week:
Saw that last night. SO cute!
Everything about this era is so positive and refreshing, from the music to how Kylie is in her image and behaviour. Makes me happy in return.
I'll post my full thoughts later but I'm in love with this album. I didn't hate Kiss Me Once but this is undoubtedly a return to form.
Listen to Kylie on the Dermot O'Leary Saturday Breakfast Show https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09x8286.
I wish I loved this. I'm glad she's in a positive place etc but the production is disappointingly cheap and flat. There are too many songs that sound the same, follow the same structure, produced almost identically. The guitars end up pretty much just being a gimmick.
The more subtle moments are the best, Lost Without You especially.
Sincerely Yours should be on Eurovision Song Contest, glorious!
Good to see her 8th on Apple Music streaming
24k rumoured sales after day 1 including preorders.
Hope this is true!
KMO started with 12.7 I think
I hope those sales are true.
Really liking this album on first few listens and it's a massive massive improvement on kiss me once.
The album is very together with direction and style. Yours sincerely was the most instant for me but sometimes the most instant songs waiver quickly but il have to wait and see. Musics too sad is great too,there is nothing I hate at the moment from the album,
I'm relieved that I like the album as I havnt really enjoyed her last 2 albums kmo and Christmas but this I do like and it's not just one of those cds thats in my collection because it's Kylie, it's there because I like it.
This release is just much better prepared. Promo is there, buzz us there and Kylie is visable
It's definitely one of her most well planned release in a while and it's good to see the team has put in the effort.
31k sold so far this week apparently
If she has 31k at this point I'd say number 1 is safe.
She’ll be #1, but I’m worried for her 2nd week. Her sales could fall dramatically.
Hopefully it won't be a huge drop,I'd be happy for number 1 and the album to outsell kmo and ideally sell over 100,000. If that happens it will be a successful era.
Really pleased for her! I wasn't allowing myself to hope for more than 35k, so her not being far off that in the first two days is incredible.
That means it's outsold Kiss Me Once's first week in a day. Yeee-haaaa!
I imagine it'll probably be between 35-40k by the week's end.
Am talking all volumes with a pinch of salt at moment lol.
If it has those then I will continue to stream and buy my copies in week two.
I would not worry about short term she still has loads of promo yet and her 50th in May so loads more promo to come for that! 😃
Yay amazing sales so far! I’m super chuffed for Kylie. Ultimately it would amazing if Golden went gold. 100,000 copies is totally achievable right???
100,000 is what I'm hoping for at minimum or ideally outsell both kiss me once and Kylie Christmas and become her best selling album since Aphrodite.
I think that's easily possible!
The fact she has further promo lined up will help the album outside release week.
On first listen and my opinion never changed kiss me once was disappointing. Golden is the complete oppposite.
Out of interest is anyone disappointed with Golden?
I have seen some comments from fans on social media who probably just wanted more of the same as she usually does.
Some gays just freak out at the mere mention or sound of a guitar in a pop song.
A Lifetime To Repair (!!) at #123 on Spotify Friday. No other Golden tracks in the Top 200.
When you think though 100 to 200 on Spotify is only a difference in sales terms of about 180 sales and many of those will be on the 300:1 ratio and have no actual sales attached. So at least Kylie is getting a mixture.
Nice to see Golden being streamed 5th on Apple Music and 3rd on Amazon streaming
31k in two days is more than most people were expecting. I think we can now expect first week sales of +40k (similar to Light Years). This is certainly a success in terms of the current music climate which is increasing seeing diminishing returns on artist albums when this has already outsold KMO’s first week sales.
This is a really excellent album, a huge step up from Kiss Me Once in every way possible.
So cohesive and well thought out, I love the production and the melodies are huge. Dancing, Stop Me From Falling and Raining Glitter are all better than anything she's put out since Aphrodite for me. And there are so many other fantastic album highlights too - Lost Without You and Music's Too Sad Without You are my early highlights.
Only Every Little Part Of Me sticks out like a sore thumb for me. I don't dislike it by any means, but it's as if it was meant to be an "Any producer of generic Spotify filler feat Kylie" single and got lost somewhere in the process and ended up on Golden by mistake.
My favourite tune today from nowhere after the first listen is............ LOVE
Golden currently 2nd on Itunes worldwide chart and 14th in Apple Music streaming worldwide up 12 places.
33,737 today.
Spotify data is missing for the entire week.
The One Show gets 4 million viewers and she is on at 7pm tonight. Not sure she is singing but if not the videos will be played etc
Then 11.30pm G Norton repeated.
We could see SMFF and Dancing both well inside the ITunes top 20 and Golden back at number 1 in iTunes Albums.
Can she get 40,000 sales in week one? would be great if she could.
The One Show's BBC page confirm Kylie is performing:
Awh I wish she was doing Dancing. I Get that Stop Me From Falling is the current single, but Dancing has a real shot of going top 40 this week.
Her official store added 1,000 signed Golden cassettes, but they've already sold out! Unsigned versions are still available though. The standard CD is now on the store too, and a new t-shirt.
Fantastic sales for the album so far, go Kylie!
Yep people go to buy SMFF and see Dancing at 59p and buy it too........ clever! and both in charts next to each other!
The One Show gets anything from 3-5 million viewers it is good promo
plus G Norton repeated tonight
Is Graham Norotn repeated tonight? I don't ever remember anyone mentioning it
One of my fave moments on the album rn is the way she growls like a dragon after the Dragon line in Lifetime to Repair it's adorable.
33.7 sales so far and sitting at the top of the charts.
With promotion coming, I would assume she can sell a further 10,000 copies through the week and manage even a small number of streams.
G Norton repeated at 11.30pm tonight.
they must have done another run of 4,000 cassettes..... and just in case they thought they may not sell them they did 1,000 signed to make sure they did. Clever
Details of the midweek nbrs
1 NEW Golden - Kylie Minogue (33,737 sales)
19k on CD
5,588 on vinyl
7,100 on digital
Dancing at 16 on the chart
Greatest Showman is no3 behind 30 Seconds To Mars. TGS sold 400 copies more than Kylie yesterday
TGS and 30 Seconds are on 11k
Streaming and cassette data are still missing though...
In a news article on the midweeks OCC comfirm she will be nbr 1 come friday 😍
The breakdown of the sales doesnt mention cassette sales.
Her digital sales are much higher than i thought they would be.
She roughly done another 2700 sales yday, if she can do 2000 a day for week she would end up on almost 42,000.
She got the cassette promo in, dancing promo in, tour promo, Golden promo, and singing stop me from falling. Good girl. Very good promo. Looks great on One Show too!
How is Golden doing in Australia? Heading for No.1?
Golden is on 37.5k as of today.
sell those cassettes!
Marvellous!
Smiling smugly at everyone who said she would struggle to even get past 20k
Really pleased at how well this is doing! 37k is what I expected for the full week, so the prospect of her selling closer to 50k is quite exciting!
Yes. Lets hope she clears 45k!
I still haven't bought. I will wait for week 2 now and help it! Doubt she will stay top 10 in second week but will get some media coverage if it gets number 1 this week.
Lots of new releases.
Next week promo is Lorraine on 16th. Maybe BBC breakfast also?
3rd week promo is good: Queens birthday performance, Feels like Friday performance , Gente de Zona remix and video for Stop Me From Falling etc.....
Can't see her falling out of the Top 10. I don't think there's much competition from new releases tbh and it takes like 5k to be Top 10 nowadays. Could see her falling behind TGS and George Ezra but still above 10k, plus BMG seem committed to a proper album campaign so I'd like to think she has a good chance at achieving decent longevity.
I think she'll get two performances on Sounds Like Friday as she's co-hosting it?
What's going on with BBC Breakfast has anyone heard? I was told she was on this morning but I heard nothing about it?
Ooh that would be good! No doubt it would be the two singles, but I'd like to see a televised performance of an album track tbh. Not that it would probably happen on that show.
How does Kylie do this with Golden on Apple Music, but not a single charting album position on Spotify in the top 200 of any country?

A bit more sales info thanks to Stewie from sayhey
'Golden' sold 3,676 copies yesterday to bring her total to 37,413.
21k on CD, 7813 on digital, 901 on streaming,1625 on cassette and 5755 on vinyl.
'Greatest Showman' sold 7,010 copies yesterday. Total weekly is 18,749 (5258 sales are via streaming)
'Staying at Tamara's sold 3,630 copies yesterday. 12,339 in total.
'Now 99' sold 4146 yesterday and 21k in total.
So Kylie like I predicted will finish number one with 40k plus for sure (around 43 to 45k)
Greatest showman may reach 37k to 40k if it continues selling around 7k per day come friday.
THe more I listen to it, the more I adore Sincerely Yours. The dramatic chorus really lifts it and her voice is so....sincere
Lyrically it reminds me ALOT of QUeen by Madonna which is one of her best songs of rcent times.
New Bundles.
T-shit + CD offers lol .

99p digital EP of Dancing
Now on 40.7k.
From UKMIX, the breakdown is as follows:
Recap of Kylie's first week sales:
49,000 Light Years (#2)
139,075 Fever (#1)
68,866 Body Language (#6)
82,822 Ultimate Kylie (#4)
82,370 X (#4)
79,152 Aphrodite (#1)
37,556 The Abbey Road Sessions (#2)
29,251 Kiss Me Once (#2)
15,881 Kylie Christmas (#12)
Golden is on track to increase 50% on the sales for Kiss Me Once, which itself was down 63% on the sales of Aphrodite.
Considering the climate change golden has done well when compared to light years it will only be snot 6-7 k short of light years opening sales.
I think it's only going to be a couple of thousand off the first week sales of Light Years tbh!
Even though its total sales of half a million are good, I have to say the initial performance of Light Years doesn't seem that impressive considering how big her 2000 comeback seems. 49k would have been pretty average back then and it slipped down the charts quite fast - in a very similar fashion to Kiss Me Once, in fact:
Light Years: 2-7-14-19-28-38...
Kiss Me Once: 2-8-13-17-38...
Fever really helped the album bulk up its sales, going from 225k at the end of 2000 to over 400k by the end of 2002.
50% increase on 29k is 44k 😂
Golden has a lovely, quite elaborate banner advertisement on Spotify today, which autoplays a clip from the Dancing video.
I'm a bit that BMG sorted it for Thursday when this is the one day of the week where streams don't get counted for the chart.
Good promo on BBC nice montage of videos. Dancing also good promo up from 23 to 21, coming for those late itunes sales
Yeah, streaming will be unweighted from the rest of the week. Which means any slight boost in stream sales from today will be lost in an abyss.
She did that.
Great banner, thanks!
Kylie's album total sales since 2000:
0,495,000 Light Years
1,715,000 Fever
0,415,000 Body Language
0,475,000 X
0,330,000 Aphrodite
0,080,000 Kiss Me Once
0,140,000 Kylie Christmas
Those are just my estimates rounded to the nearest 5k (you can see the last known sales for them http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=130697). Would be nice to get some updated totals although, as you can tell from my estimates, I don't think her studio albums are strong trickle sellers. Her compilations, however, would be good to see updates for. Her 2012 Best Of, for instance, passed Silver well over 2 years ago.
Thanks for the numbers! I thought LY, BL and X would've sold a bit more but like you said, their sales probably tumbled down the second the album campaign stopped and she moved onto the next era.
It's interesting to see how generally consistant she is with sales. Also a but gutting to se ehow much more potential Aphrodite had, 330K with essentially one single.
Leaving GOMW till September was just bizarre.
