Us chart mods have received an update but only for the Top 50 at the moment, where Kylie doesn't appear.
^ #69 today!

(Those weekly figures actually add up to 97,134, but the official total is said to be 97,133 - not sure what the 1 sale discrepancy is!)
69
With hope, she hangs on.
That said, in the last few weeks she has ended up lower on Friday than the Monday midweek position.
I think she will actually climb this week. I can see her around 58-60 in the new chart.
Up to #28 on iTunes (#17 taking out compilations) This must be due to R2 airplay?
Hopefully Golden can do enough to retain a Top 75 position.
A climb would be even greater.
#69 on the Tuesday update, 800 copies sold so far.
Least it hasn't dropped,hopefully it stays that way.
#70 today.
Its gona be close

Confirmed by the http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-official-top-40-biggest-albums-of-2018-so-far__22461/ that 'Golden' is the 14th biggest selling album of 2018 and the 4th biggest to be released in 2018, behind George Ezra, Post Malone and Arctic Monkeys, making Kylie the highest placed female.
Wonderful for Kylie.
If the album has further promotion and offers in the coming months it will help it sell further.
It is likely she will have competition for her position from Camila Cabello and Cardi B.
Camila's sold 96,255 so far (in 24 weeks), compared to Golden's 97,133 (in 12 weeks). Camila was midweek 67 yesterday and Golden #70.
Cardi B's sold 60,619, solely via downloads and streaming units. Currently she's not selling all that much more than Kylie is on a week by week basis (2,751 last week, compared to 1,500), so Invasion of Privacy won't be outselling Golden any time soon.
Anne-Marie is quite likely to overtake Kylie's sales eventually - she's sold 75,198 in 9 weeks and is currently still Top 20.
Cardi B and Camila are likely to have further success in the singles chart which will help them sell their albums for a longer period.
That said, for Kylie to be even on par with them on sales is more than an excellent result for Kylie.
Cardi, B, Camila Cabello and Anne Marie are likely at their peak of success and Kylie is right there with them 30 years into it.
Those artists would certainly have the streaming advantage over Kylie.
If Kylie had some form of streaming interest she would likely have a wider sales gap from them than she currently has.
#73 this week!
Wonderful that it has managed another week in the Top 75.
1300 sales for this week from reading through the sales report.
Top 75 weeks (studio albums):
70 - Fever
68 - Kylie
34 - Enjoy Yourself
29 - Light Years
29 - Aphrodite
27 - X
23 - Rhythm of Love
18 - Body Language
15 - Kylie Minogue
13 - Golden
12 - Let's Get to It
10 - Kylie Christmas
9 - Kiss Me Once
4 - Impossible Princess
It'll be interesting to see how long Golden stays within the Top 75 Sales chart for, given that chart is directly comparable to her previous studio albums (bar Kylie Christmas).
Hopefully it will get a few more weeks at some time in the Top 75 and overtake Kylie Minogue and Body Language.
Golden is the 14th best selling vinyl of the year: http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-official-top-40-biggest-vinyl-albums-and-singles-of-2018-so-far__22467/

Is it the number 1 selling cassette of the year?
I should expect it still is!
#61 on today's update.
Yes good little rebound. Let's hope can sneak another top 75 week with 1000+ sales
It’s doing better than expected. Glad it’s still T75.
Flop. It's all about Tom Grennan now anyway.
Wonderful news. Golden may overtake the Kylie Minogue and Body Language on most weeks spent on the chart.
I was so certain it'd drop out this week. That is pleasing!
Looks like she’s just filmed a video for ‘Raining Glitter’ according to Instagram.
Raining Glitter is a highlight on the Golden album and would welcome it as the 4th single.
That said, Lost Without You and Musics Too Sad Without You would make wonderful 4th singles and all 3 are stronger than Golden for me.
It is great that she has single opportunities on this album which both Aphrodite and to a higher extinct Kiss Me Once lacked.
I really didn't expect her to be even top75 in the miss so it's great to see her as high as number 61.
That video is from the Vogue video shoot she did for Pride. Raining glitter is featured in that. Nothing new
#67 today.
I consider 'Raining Glitter' a highlight, not a single though.
It’s the worst song on the album for me.
Number 67 is still good.
Top 75 looks possible for this week.
Sales are tight down that end of the chart but hopefully she hangs on,in midweeks she still higher than last week so she should manage it.
So Friday 16th
She is with the Muppets in the evening
Afternoon there is that competition choreography thing going on at 3.30pm.
Every little bit of promo helps
Could you imagine a kylie video featuring fans and the muppets?
Coincidence that these are on the same day?
It all helps to keep her name out there and atttract attention to the album.
I am keen for Golden to out do Body Language and KM94 for weeks on the chart.
I am sure Golden will get a re-entries at some point later in the year, so it does look possible.
Anyone aware that Golden has now gone gold?
Next week it will be officially Gold.
It will come one close this week but won't happen officially til next week.
Well wikipedia has already shown it's been certified gold already.
Oh if Wikipedia said it then it MUST be true....
Well whoever posted it just put it on Wikipedia in advance as it will be true next week!!wiyh golden from here on it's just about how much further sales it can pick up,it's already seen as a successful album for Kylie so everything else is a bonus. Let's hope Kylie still has another one or two number 1 albums left in her yet.
Gold was what i believe most us had hoped for the album and it has managed that.
Over the coming months it would be wonderful if Golden can overtake Kylie Christmas.
What a great era - #1 Gold selling album, Top 40 single with the UK tour, BBC2 headline show, 4th single, Sigala collaboration and potential album repack for the tour/Christmas market.
I would greatly welcome a repackage of the album.
That said, to date Kylie has never truly managed any major success with a repackaged album.
Although, should this happen with Golden, i think they may get it right this time.
Well actually, where is the 18-month campaign that they promise? Things've been quiet for a few weeks now.
She has all the tour stuff, Xmas stuff, probably Brit award nomination etc. Plenty still left.
Remember BMG are all about sales as that's how they make their cut they will have things lined up
In todays update it appears Golden is between number 76 and 80.
^ She's #79, just under 900 copies sold.
It is now likely she will just miss a place in the Top 75.
That said, i would still welcome her staying in the Top 100 for as long as possible.
The difference of 20 sales could be enough to swing it back into the top75.
TBH I’m not bothered with it leaving the Top 75 - I think it’ll make BMG give it an extra push now the initial sales/hype has faded. Expecting them to do the same as they done with Rick Astley after his album dropped and reduce it to £4.99 - hopefully they will put some effort into the 4th single now.
The price drop would def help get some sales in and I think it will happen soon. It's gonna be interesting to see what will be picked as 4th single.
Ideally it will get released soon, i do think it would equally benefit both.
She was on Magic FM this morning. It was recordedsa she went to BBC Radio 2. The other day she did a few radio stations promo. Not sure what she said or what they played
#83 this week.
She is on Good Morning Britain next week. Muppets tonight.
Hopefully, that will help the album either re-enter the Top 75 or remain in the Top 100.
She is 32nd on sales chart this week so streaming is costing her 51 places in the chart......
Kylie at the muppets
https://www.instagram.com/p/BlL7gbtgfck/?utm_source=ig_twitter_share&igshid=mgns75axfjv5
Least it's still on the chart and who knows it might climb this week with the promo.
Shame it fell out!
Another 1,049 sold this week, taking its total to 99,513.
Yes at Golden getting that official gold status next week Assuming it sells 487 copies
It should manage 500 sales this week and get the official gold.
With her doing some promotion i am hoping the album should at the least climb a couple of places this week.
From Kylie's Twitter:
With promotion and the offer on prime, it may result in an improved chart position later in the week.
She is on good morning Britain on Thursday 19th
Up to #16 on the overall Amazon chart due to the price reduction
Where was golden on Amazon before the price drop?
So it's looking good for a 15th week top 100.
the Amazon promo finishes at midnight tonight. but 1.5 days of good sales should keep it top 75 if not higher. Good Morning Britain promo on Thursday morning should also give it a further boost on last day of chart week so I think it will probably finish top 60
I'd settle for a top 75 return and hopefully top 100 next week too.
i think you will be surprised. she will definitely be top 75 and higher.
She is defo on promo trail again.
The higher the better and this is the week the album is officially certified Gold status.
#78 today, slowly moving up.
Not bad.
The Amazon deal only started yesterday afternoon and should have been selling ok today so I reckon in tomorrows update top 75 definitely
It's now sold over 100,000 copies *.* 100,106 as of yesterday.
Fantastic!
Officially gold!
That would show the album has sold 593 copies so far this week.
It will need a least another 500 to remain top 100.
That would suggest sales will be in or near to that of last week.
If sales are lower all round in that region of the chart it may be enough for Golden to sneak back into the top 75.
So pleased it’s Gold already - hopefully it’s surpassed BMG and Kylie’s expectations with still more opportunity to come to sell the album.
Disappointed that it looks like selling the same as last week - I thought the Amazon promo would have given it a boost but guess it’s easy to get lost in all the Prime Day deals plus it’s been reduced on download for a few weeks now which people may have picked up rather than the physical.
The Amazon sale was Monday afternoon and all day Tues. We haven't had Tues sales until weds and she also has promo thursday on Good Morning Britain whigh will give her a boost end of week which others won't. Remember 5.99 on Amazon is also higher than all those 4.99 albums ahead of her plus all the new releases.
She is going to have peaks and drops
I hoped the price reduction would have a greater impact too but least it's still charting especially on the week it went gold.
#75 on the Wednesday update!
Hope it does make top 75 now
Good morning Britain promo was shit. A quick two min interview to sell your tickets. Probably get top 80 but maybe similar to last week.
She needs to sing live on TV!
Golden also droped from radio 2 playlist
I understand every bit of promotion helps keep the name out there.
That said, a performance is what really attracts sales.
Like last week, as little as 100 sales could change her position by 10-15 places.
Yeah, same old same old, but I imagine those two minutes on breakfast TV would have helped. The album is #22 on Amazon, I noticed.
Also, #65 on the update today!
YAY!
Shame it broke its run last week.
Love that 10 place climb!
And the GMB interview was short and sweet Kylie and her team really are intent on not pushing ‘Golden’ as a single at all (Not that it matters - single 4 and Sigala now please!).
It looks as though they have just moved completely on from Golden the single. Strange strategy but single 4 needs something more to make it worth while.
Kylie to sing on Voice UK Kids final.
good promo to a music audience
final is on Saturday 21st July
expect a release of something on Friday, maybe Golden remixes
http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/kylie-minogue-to-perform-on-the-final-of-the-voice-kids-uk__23431/
the only thing I am bothered about is if she sings CGYOMH lol as the Now album is released on Friday
Ooh good news about The Voice Kids final. Strange she couldn't get a spot on the original show earlier this year but I'm pleased she's got some televised promo again. Don't know what she will perform, as much as a Golden performance would be great it seems a little late now that it's off the Radio 2 playlist.
Maybe Sigala featuring kylie
Wonderful news and another week with some promotion airing.
This i believe should help give the album a little boost.
930 copies sold to be at 65 this week so far.
should have surpassed 1000 for the week.
Looks safe for a top 75 return now.
We will know for sure very shortly
81 this week.
Streaming is always added at last minute it seems and dilutes her chart position.
35 on sales chart.
I am FUMING.
Performing Golden tomorrow....
In the show, the six finalists will be performing in the hope of winning the public vote and being crowned champion. And they'll have some very special guests joining them including Kylie Minogue who will performing her new single, Golden.
At least it’s not fallen out of T100 but still disappointing as it looked like reentering the T75 midweek.
i think Golden will be best song to sing.
title of album and a song.
It is a little disappointing but not a surprise, we have seen the last few weeks how quick the position changes and the sales difference is minimal, it at the least registered a climb and remains Top 100.
Gutted the album dropped so much, no thanks to streaming. Hopefully next week will see it climb and actually hold up if The Voice Kids helps out.
We know that Golden was passed Gold this week, now YouTube has presented Kylie with a celebratory cake:
Least it climbed and is still in the charts 4 months in from its release and hopefully the voice performance will help give it a boost.
She is definitely singing Golden so that's nice. Maybe remixes next Friday? Let's see. Wonder if she has Golden moving to commercial playlists like Magic etc
Wowvwowov
Brilliant performance of Golden and looking absolutely gorgeous.
Loved the whole performance! Best of Golden Era yet
Album is up to 25 on iTunes!
Hopefully will stay top 100 again this week
24 iTunes
18 Amazon download
23 Amazon CD
The show is repeated Sunday afternoon too so let's see.
Love the boosts Kylie gets from TV promo, she really is one of those acts that really benefits from it.
In general she does but some of the promo slots were missed opportunities.
Some new TV Ads are circling for the Album on British TV, BMG is pulling all the stops in the UK...
Nothing for the European market sadly.
The TVs adds should be a good help too.
After a great performance of Golden on the Voice i am feeling positive the album should benefit this week.
#59 on the Monday Update - had hoped it would have been higher than that.
Week-by-week sales:
01 48,032 (+ 11 copies sold pre-release)
04 13,319
06 8,819
10 5,697
13 4,415
13 3,634
31 2,343
38 2,373
41 2,076
38 2,348
36 2,567
66 1,500
73 1,330
83 1,049
81 1,126
Total: 100,639
Just shows what a bit of promotion can do for the album!
Probably not a high enough position to ensure Golden a return to the Top 75.
That said, it should be enough for the album to remain Top 100.
Its consistancy in sales is really rather amazing to see. After the initial few weeks its not seen any huge decreases.
Voice kids was Saturday night so all day Friday and Saturday probably sold not a lot... It could creep up during week but then fall a bit when streaming added on a Thursday
Hopefully some of the voice promo sales would be picked up today.
Updating my Kylie collection at the moment and getting second copies of limited editions and ones to keep sealed etc., - Just got 2 more copies of Golden (Deluxe CD and Clear Vinyl) today so that’s 2 extra sales for this week
Every single sale counts, especially in the lower end of the chart.
If she stays top 75 and it's down to 2 sales you will know it's you that got her there for this week!!
#62 today, just under 900 copies sold.
Sales, more or less on par with last week at this point.
Like the last 2 weeks it is hard to call if Golden will be Top 75 or not.
Hopefully it can hold on but it's sales are consistent.
Officially the best selling cassette of the year: http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-official-top-20-best-selling-cassettes-of-2018-so-far__23407/
2,847 copies sold on cassette, making up over 15% of the year's total cassette sales (18.5k).
They produced more at a later date when the album was released, remember she signed a load to make sure they got to number 1.
#62 again! Even considering the drop it may receive from missing streams being added to the chart, I should think it will remain Top 75, given its actually sold over 1k more so far this week to what it had sold by last Thursday.
Top 75 is looking slightly safer this week than it has done in the last 2 weeks.
Fingers crossed it stays in,I was sure it would have last week and was disappointed it didn't.
Kylie responds to Golden being the best selling cassette of the year:
Great! Looks like we will be getting a Tour edition for September , probably CD as well and maybe vinyl . Should see it go back top 40
Yes at us getting a tour edition tape! My poor bank balance if they issue a ton of new special editions though
It'll literally be the same album with the Gente de Zona mix on and maybe a different cover.
Yet more great news to look forward to.
It is a good time to re-release too as the album is still fresh.
If Kylie and her team are ever going to get a re-release right, i think it will be with this.
I would like to believe, a fourth single to be released soon and a fifth to promote the re-packaged album.
Steps managed a Top 10 placing with their re-release, Kylie has a bigger fan base so i see no reason she couldn't manage the same if handled correctly.
They didn't bother with proper physicals for any of the singles though.
I would think multiple formats will be a possibility.
Remixes and at the least 2 brand new songs and possibly some live versions.
BMG are aware the fans like you said are crazed for limited editions, physicals and i think they will take advantage of this and the give the fans what they want.
Perhaps the forthcoming cassette would include the deluxe tracks too? The original was just 12 tracks.
We might be getting ahead of ourselves thinking about a full blown re-release... hopefully that's an intention, but all we have to go on so far is a mention of a cassette for the tour, nothing else. Maybe it'll be available at the merchandise stands? We'll see!
I would project a new cassette version, as Kylie would easily move another 2000+ plus these with a new edition.
It would be likely the new updated version would be a double CD this time.
Both the record company and Kylie know the fans love vinyl so again i could see a new limited edition Vinyl hitting the shelves.
A late September release i believe would be the best time to release.
#74 this week!
Only just held onto the Top 75 then!
Streaming literally kills Kylie every week - pleased its crept back in though bringing its Top 75 weeks to 14
Fantastic!
Yep get her Thursday midweek position and add 12-15 places on to get her Friday total
Wonderful it has managed to make it back to the Top 75.
For the last few weeks she drops alot from the Thursday update.
For Kylie to be very safe, she would almost need top 55 to stay in.
Great that it's top 75 again and I Ann happy to hear about the re release,i hope it will be handled well.
This album just does not get old it could become my favourite album by her, toplling Impossible Princess.
There's no filler on this, even the weaker ones (Live A Little, Rollin', Raining Glitter) are pretty decent.
25 in sales chart.so loses 49 places on streaming. You would think BMG could do something to increase this for a week ..... Even some kind of streaming comp
It's making more money from actual sales so it won't really concern them I'd say.
This week, 223 of its 1,215 sales came from streaming, which is 18.35%.
Out of the Top 75 albums, only two of them had less streaming units than 'Golden'. 39 albums in the Top 75 "sold" more than 1,215 via streaming alone, so it's no wonder she's suffering such an extreme dip of #25 on sales to #74 with streaming factored in.
Golden is strong album from Kylie.
I am unsure where i will rank it in a few years time but i do know it would make my Top 10 of Kylie albums.
Golden #89 today! Guessing it will be out of the Top 100 this week as we know it can easily lose 15-20 places after streaming gets added in.
A shame that it looks likely to fall out the Top 100, but at least it can be expected to return when the next single gets announced and assuming it gets a better push than 'Golden' did.
Still, Kiss Me Once had fallen out the Top 200 on its 17th week whilst Golden is only just about to fall out the Top 100. Kiss Me Once didn't have streaming to contend with either.
^^ I don’t think it’s a bad thing for it to have low sales for a few weeks - if they push the next single and release a decent repacked album it will have more of an impact hopefully.
Even if it never troubled the charts again i wouldn’t be disappointed - it’s done much better than most expected.
After the Prime promotion the standard version went back up to £9.99 on Amazon but today it’s been reduced to £8 so might encourage an extra few sales this week.
It will be a week that every single sale will count and stream.
Have to try streaming it as much as i can again this week.
New album advertisement.
Hopefully it will album the album if even only in small numbers.
#94 today, short of 600 copies sold.
It would need 500 more sales there or about to stay top 100 for this week.
Hopefully it can manage 1000 sales this week,
^^ Me too. Just realized I get streaming with Amazon Prime so had Golden on repeat on there last night and Apple this morning - all so she can get a week at #100
It all helps, the album has had a bad enough chart run here in Ireland,I hope the tour gives it a good boost.
Wasnt Golden her highest charting album for some time in Ireland?
#97 today, 700 copies sold.
Ya I was sure it would be out today,going by the sales she will sell under 1000 this week and come in with around 900 sales.
This maybe the week when Golden surprises us and doesnt have the 10-15 place drop like it has done in the last few weeks after the last midweek chart of the week.
#107 today. No chance of sneaking back in.
Yip it looks unlikely now
Following the same trend as always then - dropping 10/15 places from its mid week once streaming is added.
Not overly disappointed it’s out the Top 100 - it’s had a good run and the Golden single would have passed the majority of people by so I’m hoping BMG put a little more effort into LTTR to get album sales moving again.
With the new single, the tour and hopefully some promotion i have no doubt Golden will make it back into the charts again.
As expected, Golden has left the Top 100 this week
Fell to #119. Just left the Top 40 on the sales-only chart, down 25-42.
Week-by-week sales:
01 48,032 (+ 11 copies sold pre-release)
04 13,319
06 8,819
10 5,697
13 4,415
13 3,634
31 2,343
38 2,373
41 2,076
38 2,348
36 2,567
66 1,500

83 1,049
81 1,126
74 1,215
119 967
Total: 102,821
I'm pretty sure it'll make a return visit.
So do I. There seemed to be suggestions that the next single (which we now know to be 'A Lifetime to Repair') would get better promotion than 'Golden' did so hopefully we'll see it comfortably back in the charts. I think that even just Radio 2 airplay would get the album back in the Top 100.
Huge drop this week but another 100 sales could have changed that. I do think it will make it back in top 100 in the coming weeks with ease.
R2 playlist and some promo slots will get the album back in the Top 75 with ease.
If they really wanted and released a CD, Vinyl, Tape bundle they could also have a Top 40 single
I agree,they could pull of another top 40 single by taking advantage of the fans who love physicals and it would also get the album back in the chart.
A shame to see it fall that much! Hopefully it won't fall out of the Top 200 before A Lifetime to Repair goes to radio.
Ya that's what I'm hoping to,I still didn't expect a 45 place drop this week though,but considering she only sold about 200 less than ladt week it has made a huge difference last week.
I think it will bounce up and down the charts in this region now - the fact that 10 copies can make a difference makes me think it’ll stay in this region of the charts until promo starts again.
Hopefully it will and won't drop like this week. If she can keep selling near the thousand until promo kicks in it would be great.Between promo and the re release it might have a chance of catching up on Kylie Christmas although with Kylie back in the limelight Kylie Christmas will prob pick up some sales in November/ December time too.
Kylie Christmas could do reasonably ok in the lower end of the charts this year.
Ideally, Golden will eventually overtake Kylie Christmas sales as it is a much better album.
Hard to call how well though especially as the re release last year didn't do nearly aswell as I thought it would although it helped get the album a new peak here in Ireland.
I think Kylie Christmas will do reasonably well this year - easy cash in on Kylie’s renewed success for Parlophone to get this out to the supermarkets etc., for £4.99 and with Santa Baby seemingly becoming a Christmas staple they would be mad not to try and push the album.
If they sell it at a low price it should def do ok so hopefully they do.
It would be nice to see Kylie have 2 albums on the chart in the last quarter.
Not sure the new single will make much difference unless they promote it more!
Golden #84 in today’s mids (Was #89 last Monday) - could possibly make a low Top 100 return this week.
Glad to see it back in the Top 100, even if it does fall out again. I was worried it would have dropped further.
It will likely be on track to sell another thousand this week.
Lifetime to repair is an awful choice of 4th single... its very similar to the sound of Dancing.
What happened to the 18 month campaign BMG promised?
When will they understand that they need to release the single on physical formats to make any impact on charts?
Or else whats the point in releasing singles?
Okay a big drop in the mids today, it's now #124 with just under 500 copies sold.
Huge drop and as she seems to fall more in the later part of the week she will be lucky to stat in the top 150.
Big change of position between the updates which clearly shows the difference just a few sales can make in those regions of the chart.
#130 today, 600 copies sold.
Likely an end of week sale of just under 800.
Yes, some air play for the single may help the album.
The sooner air play kicks in the better.
UK
145 (119) GOLDEN
Weekly sale: 775
Total sales: 103,597
Sad to see it free-falling now 100 places higher in the sales chart, #45... crazy!
Standard CD price is down to £6 on Amazon, hopefully that'll keep it afloat next week.
It's falling fast but her sales are pure sales so are more profitable. 300 more sales would have probably put her in the top 100.It will bounce back in the coming weeks I'm sure.
The price reduction of the standard CD to £6 on Amazon has had minimal impact - It was #79 at the time of the reduction and has only climbed 5 places since then to #74 on their overall music chart.
And it's back up to £9.99 now anyway!
Edit: Now back to £6 again
Still problem won't make much of a difference this week. Hopefully she can move another 500 this week.
Any updates on position so far this week?
On Tuesday, the album was #132 with 400 copies sold.
Least it's another 500 sold in a quiet week when nothing is happening in the kylie camp.
#138 today.
The album is unlikely to recover much unless there is any significant promotion coming up.
When ALTR is released and if it gets any promotion it could give the album improve slightly.
Additionally, tour will increase interest.
#143 today.
She will Def gain from multiple release formats and if released on the right week could go top 10 with promotion.
I’m almost scared to ask - anyone have an update on where ‘Golden’ has ended up today?
Still 45th in Sales chart.......... this streaming lark for albums is crazy.....
#154 this week!
That's 250 sales more than I expected this week.I'd love to know where the album is on a year to date chart for paid for sales only.
Back down to £6 again (!!) for the standard CD at Amazon and still part of 2 for £15 at HMV so that should help it to carry on selling at current levels.
ALTR is out of the Top 200 on iTunes now and it’s done nothing to boost the fortunes of the album (yet) as it’s currently #81.
Are you referring to the album is number 81 in today's midweek chart?
Think that is its iTunes position, the album is #144 on the update today, 300 copies sold.
The album should safely cover 500 units for this week based on that information.
It is disappointing but in ways expected with only a very small amount of people knowing about it.
Currently #117 on iTunes and the first time it’s not been in the Top 100 since release so a decent run of paid for sales.
#147 on Tuesday.
Probably end the week outside the top 160.
The 'Weiss' remix of Golden is being added to spotify/itunes etc later tonight. Its on Aussie versions now
#185 this week.
Sales this week: 696 [Physicals: 403 / Downloads: 121 / Streaming: 172]
Total: 105,066
Getting very close to leaving the chart now. Hopefully things will improve now Radio 2 play for 'A Lifetime to Repair' will be starting in the morning.
I can’t see the album recovering much sadly. The momentum seems to have faded. A reissue might help things if they push a strong new release from it!
To be honest, anything else it achieves from here is a bonus for me. I'm definitely satisfied with it.
Sales slightly up on the previous week do a bit of promo could see it in the charts in the future.
I wanted a new Kylie tee for the upcoming R2 show and concerts so got the Golden tee/CD bundle today so that’s another sale for Golden
Urm hello everyone its quarter 4 soon and time for BMG to get selling this again....... lets not forget
9th Sept - BBC Radio 2 Hyde Park gig
Sept-Oct-Nov - UK/European Tour
Likely TV Promo
X-factor (maybe at last the Robbie Williams duet)
Strictly
J Ross
Golden Tour Concert
Brit Awards maybe in Feb
Royal Variety Performance
+ many others
re-release of album
Sigala track coming
She could well finish 2018 with Golden selling 150k..... its achievable.
^^ A coloured vinyl and tape with limited runs of 5k each for the repackage would add 10k in sales alone (Aside from the CD being updated) so 150k overall with promo is easily achievable but as always I won’t get too excited until things start getting confirmed.
Not convinced the XF will happen after she jumped ship for The Voice.
Was in HMV Oxford St today and the Kylie vinyl section was totally empty (They had the clear vinyl, standard vinyl and picture disc last time I was in) so hoping that’s a few more sales - also noticed the clear vinyl has sold out/been removed from Kylie’s website.
For the Tuesday update, the album was #148.
So its more or less in the same place as last week.
#145 today.
At the least it has climbed a few places.
#159 now.
The usual trend, drops off a lot at the end of the week.Hopefully it can manage 500 sales.
Do we know where it ended up and the sales?
At least 'A Lifetime To Repair' has encouraged 46 more sales than last week, I guess.
A few more sales and a climb which is something and hopefully over the next 2-3 weeks it will climb further.
Confirmed. Hyde park concert on BBC1 next Sunday 10.30pm until 11.30pm should be a good boost
#136 on today's update.
Getting ready for that Top 75 return after the Hyde Park concert.
The album is moving in the right direction and with some wonderful promotion around the corner the album may return to the charts.
Currently #40 on iTunes and #54 on the overall Amazon chart
The album was previously well outside the Top 100 previously on both sites so its benefiting from ALTR radio play.
It is all pointing in the right direction for the album, even if only short lived.
Golden up to 34 on UK iTunes. I know that's probably 6 sales but still a nice little boost
It is moving up on the chart and if we take in the sales are low it is still an improvement.
Continuing to climb - #127 on the Thursday update!
Good to see it climb again, every sale counts.
With sales low at this end of the charts the increased radio play for ALTR plus the Radio 2 show and TV broadcast could easily be enough to send Golden back to the Top 75 at a minimum I’d expect it just outside if it doesn’t make it next week.
38 today on Itunes and thats with all the new releases. good start to the week.
I honestly think we may see a top 40 return this week
Top 40 return would be ace but il settle for top 75 as I don't want to get my hopes too high.
#131 this week! 890 sales, 106,698 total.
Sales up 150 on last week.
Nice increase there, can't wait for next week!
It's amazing how a sales difference of about 4 or 5 hundred can make a difference of about 50-60 places on the chart,there really isn't much of a gap between positions 75 and 150 on the chart
I was surprised by the sales for the week just gone as they are higher than i expected for the position.
That said, it is worrying how such a small sales gap can impact a chart position and its like that throughout the whole chart most weeks with the exception of the Top 5.
300 more sales last week would have had Golden clearly in the Top 100.
Up to 28 on UK iTunes before promo. I am guessing a few spectators tomorrow buying to make sure they know the songs for tomorrow . Lol
I would be hoping she can increase her sales by at least 1000 this week which would see her comfortably back in the top 75.
I'm feeling confident it can. The Hyde Park thing seems to be generating a fair amount of publicity and a lot of my friends are talking about it.
(Mind you they're pretty much fans anyway, even if casually)
Hopefully alot of the people there are not the ones who have already bought the album. Her iTunes position will probably improve greatly and hopefully physical sales will climb which will most likely happen on Mon and TUes.
Up to 24th on iTunes and 40 on Amazon.
Better than last few weeks.
Promo coming right up
16 on iTunes
Great climb over the last 2 days, and i hope it can go further.
Really expecting ‘Golden’ to be challenging for a Top 40 place on Friday - seems to be lots of love for the fact Jason appeared also it’s already #16 on iTunes so could easily climb into the Top 10 tomorrow.
Hopefully it will have a big effect on the chart this week. I can see the best of getting some sales too.
Hoping for a Top 75 re-entry at least!
Ya me too but I'm slightly worried the lack of songs performed from golden might result in more people buying the best of as the set list was heavier on her older material.
#14 on iTunes!
I look forward to the possibility the album will receive a great climb this week.
Taking out compilations ‘Golden’ is currently the #6 artist album on iTunes Great result considering it wasn’t a performance to support the new album as such.
#67 on the update, over 500 copies sold. The album is projected to enter at #73 with just under 1.4k sales, but no doubt that will improve after today's sales.
Today would likely be its peak day for sales following the show.
I would be happy with sales of 1.4 for this week if it can manage it, higher would be wonderful.
Well good news to see the album back in T75. Just shows, with a little bit of promotion she can still sell!
The next update should present even better news for the album.
#53 now, over 800 copies sold. On track to remain Top 60.
Album is showing as back in stock tomorrow on Amazon (And is currently #11 on their overall charts) so could get extra sales added from all those ordered this week when they start sending them out tomorrow?
Golden therefore is most likely safe to achieve its first re-entry back into the top 75 this week.
Top 60 would be good and hopefully she can get another 4-500 sales.
Joking? It's going top 40.
She has stayed steady today, will continue to gain all week.
I'm happy to see it climb and climb but I can't see the remainder of week seeing the album increase more than a steady ratell.
Still #12 on iTunes - pleased it hasn’t gone into free fall, the red button is helping along with iPlayer
Just checked on Amazon and the album is showing as being available to ship in 1-3 weeks
I wonder if BMG scaled back production of the album in readiness for the re-issue meaning there is a shortage?
96 on Apple Music. best I have seen since release week. Every stream counts
13 still on ITunes
I have it 15th and 101st on Amazon and can purchase now.
all looking good for another climb towards top 40 in todays update
I think it'll be around 50 - 55. Streaming on Thurs - Fri will knock it down a few places.
I would be highly surprised if it charts any higher than Top 50 on Friday which in itself is a great result.
Nah she will do better.
top 40 for sure!
streaming has increased for her on other weeks
Golden is no56 today.
Weds update
56 (131) GOLDEN
Sales: 1,062
Yesterday: 227
Sales WoW: +87%
Top 75 is certain but I'm not sure about top 60.
Really strange...... I expected it higher. Must not be selling anything at HMV
The main sales benefit would have come early in the week and it was always going to trail off during the week which is why I thought a top 75 re entry was more realistic. I never really expected a top 40 return plus kylie only performed 3 songs from golden.
For me I hope the re release is done well and promoted as if its done right it could help the album just about outsell kylie Christmas.does anyone think kylie Christmas could do much this year with her back in the limelight,at the very best I'm not expecting anything more than a low top 100 re entry.
If kylie does promo during Christmas I'd be surprised if she doesn't use the promo to plug golden although she could do mash up of an x mas song and a song from golden.
I would be disappointed if Kylie wasted any promotion slots in the coming months that would not promote Golden.
Golden as an album is more important to promote and i also believe Kylie would enjoy promoting it more too.
^^ I think Kylie has proved she doesn’t always use promo slots as wisely as possible recently.
I think if she gets on any ‘Christmas Specials’ she could easily perform a Christmas track over one from ‘Golden’ tbh.
Unfortunately that is true and that has been highlighted with recent singles Golden and A Lifetime To Repair.
Any info on today’s position? Hopefully it’s stayed Top 60
From Stewie via Sayhey;
Thursday update
58 (131) GOLDEN
Sales: 1,221
Yesterday: 159
Sales WoW: +71%
Fingers crossed Golden sells enough today for top 75 tomorrow
The album should manage at least 1,300 for this week, which helps bring total sales nearer to 110,000.
Will be interesting to see whether the tour will help it remain Top 100. Would be nice if it can remain 1k+ for a while.
It would be wonderful if the tour could help it maintain a chart position for at least a week or 2.
If the current edition can manage 115,000 it would result in the new edition roughly needing 35,000 sales to outsell Kylie Christmas and also double the sales of Kiss Me Once.
The show realistically only boosted sales by 500 on the last few weeks which isnt the best result.
A bigger boost would have been great but least it git a boost as did a few of the songs performed.
I think to be honest if you told me she would still be selling 1000 copies a week in mid September then thats a good result.
Golden ended up at no62.

Good result and charted about where I expected.
Happy with that!
It isnt a bad outcome and it is welcoming to see the album make it first re-entry to the chart.
Has it any chance of staying on the chart this week does anyone think?
I think with tour starting it may well creep top 100 this week again but let's see.
Great if it could but either way it will manage another couple of hundred sales.
Still holding up pretty well on iTunes (#26), would love another week T75 although I think it’ll drop to the low 80s range.
I would be happy even if it stays top 100, hopefully it can manage it.
Ideally i would welcome the album (not including the repackage) achieving 20 weeks (5 months) in the Top 100.
Currently it is 2 weeks away from that.
Apparently she’s headlining Glastonbury?
#52 on the Monday update!
That is just brilliant, i didn't expect it to be so high at all.
That is higher than she was all of last week.
Top 100 at the least should be safe for this week now.
She has had a good glasto boost today and iTunes back top 20 today so it will probably hold a top 75 spot again this week especially with tour starting tomorrow.
Didn't expect this at all,nice surprise.
It would really boost the album just around the time it would be forgotten about.
It would be the perfect time to release a new collection.
Hi I have been reading about this group for a while and I have finally joined ,been a Kylie fan since the beginning and it's great to read what people are thinking about golden etc
Welcome to the forum,it's a great forum that I'm sure you will enjoy.
Probably people buying the album at the weekend when in town shopping. The concert was Sunday night so many people will buy it the weekend after during shopping sprees
UKMIX says the album sold 718 copies as of the Monday update which is 200 copies higher than it was last Monday. Sold 329 copies on Sunday.
That could mean it's climbed a place or 2 but so far it doesn't look to have dropped much so it could manage top 75 again this week and would put her ahead of camila cabello which is just ahead of kylie at number 20 in the years best sellers.
It would be wonderful if it remains in the Top 75.
Climbed back up to 16 on iTunes. It's had an impressive run
That maybe a further smaller indicator it will stay top 75 for this week.
Glad to see that Golden is holding up so well! Hopefully the tour will see it remain in the Top 75 for at least another 2 weeks after the upcoming chart.
Ya it would be great if the tour can help keep the album in the charts for at least an extra week or two.
Ladies and gents it's quarter 4 coming up. They will want to sell a lot so expect big promo and new editions. Remember BMG are purely looking to sell this album to make money that's the agreement they have together.it will be pushed throughout quarter4
Up to #14 on iTunes after opening night
And back in the Top 10 at #10!
Great result and two weeks in a row it has returned to the top 10. All looks good for this week now.
I am extremely happy with how the album is performing this week.
With the tour on it should help keep sales clearly over 1200 for at least this week and next week.
Fantastic impact from just the opening night - the tour should keep the album selling for the duration and then the Q4 promo, next single and repackage will kick in
Hopefully people will have purchased the cd today after the seeing the tour last night.
If the re-package is handled well Kylie could sell reasonably well for the last quarter.
The limited edition cassette has a November 9th release date - hopefully other editions will be released!.
The tape is limited to 1,500 so taking away sales from fans overseas she should add another 1,000 to Golden’s total.
Any one know mid week position today?
Split week will kill any chances it has.
The higher position it gets might also attract further attention.
Can. Just say the usual minimum amount of cassettes in one batch is 4000..... So they will no doubt have another 2.5k to release if all these can pre ordered etc.
These types of phyisicals snd re additions add excitement and will boost sales. If the new edition as I have said before is handled well it ciuld sell very well until the end of the year.
I ordered that cassette so fast, minutes after it was unveiled! It sold out after 2 hours.
#54 today with 1.4k sold so far.
66 on Apple Music streaming. best for a while.
Possibly a few more streams tonight after the concert but not enough to make a difference for this week.
The concert may help the sales off to a strong start tomorrow.
If it waits top 60 il be very happy.
Ya releases like this no more than concerts always fall into the hands of vultures,who make crazy money on them.
Up to 56 this week, who would have thought two weeks ago!
That is a great outcome for this week as it appears to have sold close to 1,800.
Its quite amazing......
sellin 1.75k in mid September after releasing in April.
and Dancing top 100 on Itunes still having been bobbing around since january!!!!
That's incredible!
It is a good sales boost at this point.
I do remember many people saying (not here) but in the chart forum, that it will be funny how quick Kylie will fall after her initial debut at Number 1 with Golden.
Once again, Kylie has shown she has staying power.
There is a good chance that Golden will remain on the chart in the coming week too which would be wonderful.
With the tour, reissue, next single and Q4 promo ‘Golden’ could easily stay in the T75 until January.
I would greatly welcome that result.
The re-issue i am hoping can pick up some good sales over Christmas.
I have said for a while now i would greatly welcome Golden surpassing Kylie Christmas Sales.
It’s good to see the album recover - I hope we get a reissue on CD which will help continue the upward trend in sales. It could potentially shift over 200k if there’s a good reissue with plenty of promotion.
I'd be so happy with 200k total sales.
Fingers crossed that there really will be a CD/Vinyl re-issue in the pipeline!
Very pleased with this week's position.
Ya I hopw the same or I will be very disappointed if there is no re issue.
Yes let’s hope that a 1,500 copy cassette run of Golden is not the re-issue Kylie was talking about! I need bonus tracks, alternative cover, vinyl, coloured vinyl, picture disc, CD, deluxe CD, cassette, USB stick, Flexi disc and mini disc versions
My thoughts exactly.
Very pleased to see it continuing to climb! Seems to get a boost on iTunes after each gig so I think it will continue to perform well.
Compare that with the tour boost for Kiss Me Once which could only just get it to scrape the Top 100 again.
Reduced to £5 on Amazon so should stay top 75 this week. iTunes 16th again starting Friday 28th even with all new releases
Great that the tour is bringing in album sales too, looks like it might stay top 75 again this week which would be great.
Looks like it will have another 1k+ selling week - currently #26 on Amazon and #14 on iTunes (#11 taking away Compilations) and a very decent #54 on Apple
It's good her streaming is improving even if it's just a tiny bit.
Golden is such a fabulous album, I have been a fan since I was 10 years old and am now 41. The album is so well crafted and is back to her ultimate best. You could tell on the tour that I saw in Birmingham she loves singing every song from the album.
Latest on iTunes album sitting at No 10 I am so impressed with the steady sales of Golden in a streaming era that quite frankly I don't understand or wish to.
I've just noticed that the Golden vinyl is £15.58 on Amazon UK at the moment, that's the cheapest I've seen it!
The CD is currently Amazon's 20th best seller *.*

^^ Hopefully clearing through stock ready for the reissue!
I decided to buy the standard CD
Hopefully it will help sales as supermarkets are a great way to pick up casual sales if selling cheap.
I really hope there is a re issue and it is not just chatter - New Your City has to get released I love it... The re issue though would be more pop related tracks, will Kylie want to dilute the Country vibe on a re issue....?
I am hoping something is confirmed soon as part of me thinks it may not happen. I am hoping when the tour comes to Ireland it gets the album back in the chart,while it got Kylie her best peak in a while it fell out of the chart very quickly and hasnt returned since.
Q4 and higher album sales in general will kick in soon, so lower price is good news.
I hope they have something planned and Dannii's much older sister will be out promoting.
The low price does help and with this and the tour it will help keeping the sales going.
I’m sure there will be some sort of repackage - BMG know it’s the only way to get shelf space in the Q4 period if they have something new to offer.
Dare I say Golden will sneak a top 40 spot in Monday's update
Excited for today’s chart update for both Golden and hopefully KM94, Golden is currently #11 on iTunes (#7 artist album)

It would be wonderful if Golden can stay top 40, but if not, it does look in with a chance to register a climb again this week.
So pleased to see this back in the Top 40 - it really does feel like such a successful era
I think it will stay top 40 this week.
tonights show in Cardiff, 2 shows in London. £5 prices and going well on Itunes and even streaming has picked up.
Fantastic Hope it can somehow hold on to the Top 40 for Friday.
With the concerts and price reduction it provides a good opportunity for a possible Top 40 return.
60,000 people will be attending across the 3 London dates - if only 3% bought the album that’s close to 2k sales.
That is a realistic expectation and should this happen it would really help the album climb.
Really happy with how it's going this week so far.
Hopefully we will get an update today for both albums
If we get an update today and Golden remains Top 40 i would be delighted.
Still holding up excellent on iTunes. Currently #10 (#7 taking out compilations).
Hopefully the tour will bring in sales,as I'd love it to stay top 40.
Great news in the Wednesday update holding at 35 - lets hope streaming doesn't totally collapse the chart position, with London your tonight, it may just hang on!
The London show may possibly boost some sales tomorrow, just in time to keep the album selling.
That said, the album should safely register a climb from last weeks positions and move into the top 50.
For it still to be #35 is great - expecting a huge boost from the London shows and the 60,000 people that will be attending across the 3 nights
It’s also moving back in the right direction on Apple Music - Was #65 earlier today now #57, currently #11 on iTunes too.
Fingers crossed it can hang on.
Love this! https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/kylie-minogue-manchester-piccadilly-why-15207270
Up to #49 on Apple Music - highest I think I’ve ever seen it! Obviously a lot of streaming happening on the way to concerts
It is very positive to see her streaming increase as it has cost her chart positions in many previous weeks.
Back up to #10 on iTunes and the overall 6th highest artist album which is the highest it’s been so far during the tour
I dont want to get my hopes up but i am slightly thinking it may improve on its midweek number 35 position.
Anyone else thinking the same?
All I hope is a return to top-40 tbh! I don't think it will climb.
The Top 40 return, even at number 40 would be a great outcome.
Its actually being streamed more than it has been over last few weeks so thats good
It's great to see it improve on streaming as it will help.
Here for Kylie returning to the Top 40 today Didn’t think that would be a possibility almost 6 months after release before the campaign started.
