Christmas already? There's so much I'm meant to have done by this point of the year AND I haven't bought ANY Christmas presents

I've just noticed last week's was 2017 as well

But really we know what they mean and glad these topics are posted so promptly!

Has anyone else noticed how incredible the new Janelle Monae single is? Major Prince vibes. Deserves to SMASH!

It's incredible, I really hope it can be a smash 😍

5 Seconds of summer have shocked me, really good song but very different for them.

I'm a bit confused about how Mel & Kim are releasing a new single when Mel died in 1990? Is this a reworked demo from 30 years ago or something, anyone know? I can't find much info on it on google either.

Posted by: ML Hammer95 23rd February 2018, 10:29 AM

Post Malone at #29 already! The chorus is so melodic that I wouldn't be surprised if this was another hit!

Posted by: Bjork 23rd February 2018, 10:34 AM

The Mel & Kim track is an unreleased demo
from before they got involved with SAW / PWL

it is explained in a recent occ article

That new 5SOS song isn't a patch on 'She Looks So Perfect' imo, was hoping for something more electric guitar based like it.

Posted by: M4NG0 23rd February 2018, 02:18 PM

Yeah, it's a shame they've jumped on the tropical bandwagon but at least they've kept the guitars in. I actually quite like the song.

I'm surprised the Kylie remix is doing so well. I guess it's just her fanbase buying it, but even so remixes don't usually get so high do they? (I know the New Rules Initial Talk remix did quite well).

Posted by: 777666jason 23rd February 2018, 04:51 PM

Guess strictly did nothing for Alexandra popularity I thought she would have managed top 100 at least with sales so low

To me it sounds like a short-lived Top 10 hit at best. Expected something bigger and better.

Kylie Minogue coming!!!!!! Initial Talk remix up to 35th and orginal finally now discounted at 40th!!!!! Has BBC Radio 2 promo on Graham Norton tomorrow morning then performing Dancing on Ant and Dec Saturday night Takeaway in evening. Let's go!!!!!!!!! iTunes tonight well, steaming the problem

Steaming like a pot full of vegetables.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 23rd February 2018, 10:37 PM

Initial Talk remix up to 34 on iTunes 😏 outselling the Orginal. If I was Kylie I would ask BBC radio 2 to play this version with her interview tomorrow morning. The Orginal is 59p now and will sell ok anyway.

I just have to say 5 weeks ago when Kylie got to number 2 on iTunes and then fell down I didn't think we would see her stay top 80 all this time and now start rising again. I know Itunes isn't as important as it used to be but that is still impressive with on Radio 2 support and no promo

Kylie 21 and 35. Repeated tomorrow at 1pm on ITV 1 . Would like it to go top 20 again on iTunes but may stall now. Still not being streamed thoughun

Posted by: Joe. 24th February 2018, 09:25 PM

She’s 21 and 35 to me?

Posted by: iain 24th February 2018, 09:40 PM

19 and 35 for me. iTunes seem super glitchy at the moment. 10 minutes ago it was still 27.

Posted by: mdh 24th February 2018, 09:42 PM

ngl i doubt itd do anything on streaming even if it was on playlists

Posted by: SmileyKylie 24th February 2018, 09:44 PM

Well it got on playlists on Friday of release and got 77k of streams and top 100 on Spotify and then nothing as we taken off lists.

Posted by: Mart!n 24th February 2018, 10:01 PM

Posted by: Midge 24th February 2018, 10:01 PM

Regardless, the majority of the biggest demographic of Spotify users would skip past "Dancing" if it came on on shuffle. We're in an era where music has to be "cool" and Kylie just isn't. Personally I like "Dancing" though!

Posted by: Joe. 24th February 2018, 10:13 PM

Kylie is 16 now!

And Dancing is somewhat modern for a Kylie song. I don’t think it would be skipped THAT much. It would be far from a streaming smash but if it was on Hot Hits it’d have a decent top 40 run, at least.

Posted by: Midge 24th February 2018, 10:14 PM

I think you're letting your Kylie-fandom cloud your judgement, personally.

Posted by: Joe. 24th February 2018, 10:15 PM

...I have never been a Kylie fan...

Posted by: Regina 24th February 2018, 10:15 PM

The fact that Dancing sounds similar to Anywhere means it'd get a fair few streams on playlists and alot of people would choose to listen to it.

Posted by: Joe. 24th February 2018, 10:19 PM

It’s a perfectly passable song for the ‘Spotify demography’. Pink’s music, for example sounds actually a bit more mature, and What About Us did plenty fine on streaming. Some people would skip but if a song is on a playlist most listeners will just play it through mindlessly anyway.

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 24th February 2018, 10:20 PM

If Dancing had Rita Ora's name attached to it instead of Kylie's, I'm confident it'd be a big hit. I think Dancing is perfectly commercial. A huge #1? No way, but I think it could be a solid top 40 if people stopped the "she's irrelevant" mindset when she's one of the biggest artists of all-time, still producing better pop music than most of the people who are charting higher than she is.

Posted by: iain 24th February 2018, 10:22 PM

Yeah, it would do fine on streaming if it was on some playlists. Either way, it’s setting up the album nicely, which has already has over 10,000 preorders in the UK (I know I sound like a deluded stan but it’s from someone pretty reliable]. Also it’s 15 and 34 now.

Posted by: Joe. 24th February 2018, 10:24 PM

I would take the 10k pre orders with a pinch of salt. Those figures generally do not get released. Fans more often than not make them up and I think 10k at this point might be slightly ambitious.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 24th February 2018, 10:34 PM

Dancing up to 16 and 35 on iTunes.

Posted by: Midge 24th February 2018, 10:35 PM

Then what's clouding your judgement?

Posted by: Midge 24th February 2018, 10:36 PM

Exactly this tbh, if it was Rita Ora then it'd be fine but it's Kylie so it's irrelevant to the mass market now.

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 24th February 2018, 10:39 PM

Although I think it's very silly that she's seen as irrelevant. The only reason she's seen that way is because Radio 1 have stopped playing her because she's too old. Her music is perfectly commercial and on-trend!

Posted by: SmileyKylie 24th February 2018, 10:39 PM

To be fair .... Kylie has about 7 different formats out for pre sale ..... She knows her market lol

16 and 35 on iTunes so that's about 12th if combined .

Posted by: iain 24th February 2018, 10:41 PM

Yeah I would usually agree, though this figure is from TheHeadlessPostman, who works in the industry and is pretty much the oracle of insider Kylie knowledge. Given those mad Golden bundles where you get like a cd, vinyl and cassette (!) per purchase, and the fact that she sold out 1500+ UK tickets at £85 per ticket in seconds for her album launch concert, I think the core fandom is stronger than ever at the moment and willing to buy in bulk...but maybe it’s wishful thinking on my part!

Posted by: Midge 24th February 2018, 10:48 PM

I like a ton of Kylie tracks including "Dancing" but objectively she's irrelevant in 2018.

Posted by: Joe. 24th February 2018, 10:48 PM

Ah, right, fair enough. I’m sure she’ll do well upon release, because she has so much promo coming up. 10k just seemed a lot for pre orders the way the market is today (especially taking into account the time of year)




I mean, I was just estimating that Dancing would get maybe to around, say, #60 , on Spotfiy (I know that’s not great) with major playlists support , which with ACR would be enough for a few weeks top 40? I don’t think that’s a dramatic estimation given she’s been just outside the top 40 once already and very possibly will be again this week.

Posted by: Midge 24th February 2018, 10:49 PM

It's so hard to predict these days. I think 5 years ago then it'd have been "Blurred Lines" big.

Posted by: Midge 24th February 2018, 10:50 PM

I was referring to your comment that if it was on playlists, the mass demographic of Spotify users (i.e. students/teenagers) would get into it and not skip it.

Kylie Minogue Greatest Hits 40th on iTunes ��

Kylie is 409th ��

Fever 747th

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 24th February 2018, 10:59 PM

I know, but it shouldn't be. Ultimately, age is the only thing that is making Kylie "irrelevant". The Aphrodite era was successful so it's not like Radio 1 began ignoring her because she was flopping. Furthermore, Into the Blue sounded massive to me. It's a shame that one station can just decide when an artist isn't relevant to youth anymore.

Posted by: Midge 24th February 2018, 11:02 PM

It's not just that; it's clear that urban music is the focus genre being promoted to younger people these days. It seems to be the BBC's agenda. BBC Radio 1Xtra is huge now too. Artists like Kylie are the complete opposite of this.

Posted by: cqmerqn 24th February 2018, 11:04 PM

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 24th February 2018, 11:04 PM

Hasn't stopped the likes of Rita Ora and Dua Lipa smashing! There's plenty of non-urban music around in the charts that is just as relevant as Post Malone, Ramz, etc.

Posted by: Cody On Ice 24th February 2018, 11:06 PM

I don't think it really helped that it's been four years between Dancing and Into The Blue with only an Xmas album to help move sales

Posted by: cqmerqn 24th February 2018, 11:06 PM

Really hope that Dancing can scrape a week inside the top 40!

Posted by: Jonjo 24th February 2018, 11:08 PM

If Matt flipping Terry can get so many weeks top 100 basically just off the back off of Hot Hits support I can only imagine what it could do for someone with a fanbase like Kylie if she got the same!

Number 1/top 10/20? Lorrrrd no. But a middling top 40 hit at least, with about 3/4 weeks top 40 at least.

Posted by: Cody On Ice 24th February 2018, 11:08 PM

also if we're gonna talk about ageism, that didn't stop eminem and he's in his mid-40's

Posted by: Midge 24th February 2018, 11:08 PM

But both of those are marketed to be 'hip' and 'cool' in an urban way, even though they're pop artists.

Posted by: Cody On Ice 24th February 2018, 11:09 PM

I still think it might be just a waiting game. Maybe people will see how well Kylie seems to be doing on iTunes and Spotify will reciprocate one way or another

Posted by: Midge 24th February 2018, 11:11 PM

The only way Kylie is going to get a top 40 hit out of this is if the fans all buy each remix singularly, on the same week, and try and stream each version as much as possible - thus fabricating the position. Outside of the fanbase, it just won't catch on.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 24th February 2018, 11:11 PM

Simply cannot see it if no one is streaming. Even if orginal and remix could get 20,000 a day it would help, but nothing

Shame as she did some promo with Spotify and Apple etc but not getting played. Silly Kylie fans would rather watch on YouTube etc rather than a simple sign up on Spotify and put on repeat with volume down for 30 mins lol.

Ant and Dec repeat at 1pm on itv1 tomorrow so she could hold a few sales again tomorrow and the 59p price will help .... The physicals are being released 6th April again a strange decision but helps to sell the album bundles so that's why....... She could have easily had a top 40 hit but again plan failed really. Anyhow album will sell ok

Illyus and Barrientos remix out on Friday 2nd and already had radio 1 play etc but you can't hear Kylie lol. Anton Powers mix out on 9th March also .... A radio 1 DJ surely will promote it. .... If we stream all four remixes on same week etc ������

Posted by: cqmerqn 24th February 2018, 11:13 PM

He’s a white male...

Kylie ~10th combined

Posted by: Joe. 24th February 2018, 11:13 PM

That’s all I was saying. We know she’s not going to do Post Malone numbers.

Also The Janelle Monae song really deserves to smash. I hope that gets Hot Hits support, because I could see it taking off big time!

Posted by: Midge 24th February 2018, 11:15 PM

His style/genre/image/everything is also still very relevant. There are 100 artists trying to be the next Eminem right now, but who's trying to be the next Kylie?

I seriously miss the days when pop was top lol

Posted by: SmileyKylie 24th February 2018, 11:15 PM

Yep like I said the song was on new Music Friday and got 77k streams on day one then got took off and nothing.

Posted by: iain 24th February 2018, 11:18 PM

It’s been out for 5 weeks and hasn’t fallen outside the iTunes top 100 despite minimal radio support outside Radio 2. Other artists relying solely on Radio 2 support (Shania, Blondie, Manics, Texas etc) see their single charting briefly in the iTunes top 100 (if that) and then drop like a stone. The fan base would have bought it in week one. Clearly it’s appealing to *somebody* outside the fan base, and given a little more Radio and Spotify support could be a decent hit.

It’s also 13 and 34 on iTunes now.

Posted by: Jonjo 24th February 2018, 11:24 PM

'Make Me Feel' is really growing on me! I'm getting more and more into it. Also, Janelle deserves the hit so, SO much. Such a lovely woman

Posted by: danG 24th February 2018, 11:25 PM

A lot of those would have been curiosity streams. It would have significantly decreased the next day even if it got added to Hot Hits UK.

I don't think Hot Hits support would do anything for 'Dancing' at this stage. There's 70 songs on Hot Hits now, so less impact for each especially those towards the bottom of the playlist, which Kylie would no doubt be if she did ever get added.

Posted by: cqmerqn 24th February 2018, 11:29 PM

But it would still generate the streams it needs for top 40

Posted by: Midge 24th February 2018, 11:29 PM

You'll find the iTunes chart is more 'mature' than the Spotify chart in terms of the demographic using it; plus sales have dwindled so much that it's easier to sit in the top 100 these days. It's also much easier to shoot right up in a matter of hours. I think I'd compare Kylie as an act now to Steps last year: clearly there's an appetite for her, but she's a legacy act now. There's nothing she can do to appeal to the kids, unfortunately.

Posted by: Midge 24th February 2018, 11:30 PM

(On the contrary to my personal observations, I do hope Kylie goes top 40 btw, I like "Dancing" and I like Kylie, but my expectations for stuff like this have lowered considerably as streaming has grown).

Posted by: SmileyKylie 24th February 2018, 11:40 PM

Yes what I mean with Spotify is I don't expect her to get 100-300k a day, I just thought she would be capable of 40-50 for a week and then the sales would get her a top 40. But she is probably getting 10-15k only a day sadly.

Posted by: Midge 24th February 2018, 11:42 PM

The good thing is any streams for the Initial Talk Remix will be added to those for the album version - both capped separately. So if Initial Talk Remix is doing, say, 15k a day, and the album version is doing 50k a day after the 10-streams-per-user-cap, then that's 65k a day streams.

Posted by: cqmerqn 24th February 2018, 11:53 PM

Yeah but the original is definitely not doing 50k a day...

I’ll say she’s doing 35-40k a day combined

Posted by: ___∆___ 25th February 2018, 12:02 AM

Kylie #13 and #34

Posted by: SmileyKylie 25th February 2018, 12:04 AM

I doubt she is doing that.

In Australia she is is doing 27.5k so why in UK is she doing nothing! She must be on playlists overthere.

She has overtaken Dua Lipa on iTunes into 13th. Long step up now to 5 seconds and Ed etc..... 0.29 currently and needs 0.38ish. let's hope she can stay up there while Ant and Dec airs again at 1pm tomorrow

Posted by: Joe. 25th February 2018, 12:04 AM

That’s quite the boost from SNT. It goes to show how accessible the song is, even if it is a little generic.

Posted by: Shia LeMuffQueef 25th February 2018, 12:04 AM

He's male hip hop.

Completely different.

The music industry is sexist.

It is a shame though. Maybe the BBC should open its playlist additions up to the public vote. Although with our history, it'll Brexit our radio and leave us with the worst music in Europe

Posted by: SmileyKylie 25th February 2018, 12:13 AM

Well sadly she got to number 2 in iTunes in week one and only managed 47th and that was with a few days of good streams..... She would have to reallysell consistent all week to get another place like that.

Interestingly she has another version coming out and I heard it was for Magic FM audience. https://dbr.ee/afKs not too different but a but more country.

Posted by: Bré 25th February 2018, 12:19 AM

The new Kylie song is awful imo but I do agree that it would probably fit in well enough on Spotify playlists to be a middling top 40 hit.

Posted by: Joe. 25th February 2018, 12:29 AM

Can confirm, Dancing is right near the top of 'Get Popped!' which is the 2nd largest local playlist (behind Hot Hits Australia).

Posted by: SmileyKylie 25th February 2018, 08:21 AM

See! Kylie and BMG need to ring Spotify and tell them to sort it out

Posted by: T Boy 25th February 2018, 10:09 AM

Again, I hate the sexism arguments. How come Madonna was having huge no.1s into her late 40s? How come Robbie Williams can’t get a hit in his 40s? It’s people choosing facts to support their argument rather than forming it from using all evidence.

Kylie isn’t connecting with the youth. She did for such a long time but nothing lasts forever. Even Pink, Who has shown amazing consistency through her career, isn’t catching on with the streaming audience despite the fact that she’s still being pushed for them on Radio.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 25th February 2018, 10:18 AM

They are not catching on because radio don't play and streaming is completely biased and a mess. It should be about 5000 streams per sale ratio. Silly I can just sit in a car and listen to a playlist of songs soemone has put together and it counts for a official singles chart.

Last year Kylie sold 100% song at 9.99 on Vinyl yet that sale counts the same as 150 streams on Spotify? Ludicrous to be honest.

Why have we had a whole Ed Sheeran album charting in singles chart

Posted by: T Boy 25th February 2018, 10:23 AM

That’s the issue with streaming, it leaves the chart only representing a minority of the public in a major way. But there’s literally no point complaining about it because there’s no way we can go back now. Even if we did revert to a sales only chart, people would still call out inaccuracy because lots of people stream.

I wouldn’t let it bother you. Kylie will be putting out pleny of music for years to come. As long as you enjoy it, it shouldn’t matter if she doesn’t get high peaks. She has her market.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 25th February 2018, 10:31 AM

I ain't worried. But this Irrelevant thing is just not true..... It's the manipulation......


Kylie up to 12th. Ant and Dec airs again at 1pm so we could see at a big push be top 10 on iTunes again today and combined top 8? Will need to keep momentum though.

Rudimental playing live with Jess on Sunday Brunch soon so they may well topple Timberlake at the top of iTunes chart

Posted by: danG 25th February 2018, 10:41 AM

Let's just Agree that Kylie isn't irrelevant but her audience is more the older generation and her long time fans rather than teenagers and students. She's still doing well considering.

Posted by: SM351 25th February 2018, 11:01 AM

I just think they need to make ACR increase the stream ratio for a chart sale quicker than they do. Will at least allow people like Kylie a bit more exposure.

Posted by: Midge 25th February 2018, 11:13 AM

The week Kylie got to 47, there were still 8 songs on ACR above her.

Posted by: pes 25th February 2018, 11:20 AM

I always have thought they should apply the SAVE ON THE LIBRARY method.

I mean if radio play a song a lot..does not mean all the people that listen will buy that song.

So it should be on streaming..where basically the playlists are like the radios...but only if you save the song on your library or your own playlist it counts as a sale (or every 10 saves count like a sale)

2010 I like a song, I buy it
2018 I like a song, I save it on my streaming library

Posted by: cqmerqn 25th February 2018, 11:28 AM

Um no

Posted by: danG 25th February 2018, 11:31 AM

That will just open it up for easy chart manipulation ie boyband fans saving en masse in week one without making the effort to actually stream it. At least back in the day they had to actually part with cash to get their boyband an inflated first week chart position.

Posted by: pes 25th February 2018, 11:34 AM

I mean you can only save once...it's like back in the days with itunes everyone that had a fanbase bought on day one..and push the song high on itunes for a few hours

Posted by: T Boy 25th February 2018, 11:48 AM

We just need to accept what is. I don’t like the charts anymore but I’m over it.

The word manipulation is a harsh word. It seems to get rolled out in these boards too often as an excuse for why someone a poster doesn’t like is doing well and why their faves aren’t.

In order to chart highly, you basically have to target teenagers. I teach teenagers on a daily basis. I’ve heard Dancing. The majority of today’s teenagers won’t go for it and that’s why it doesn’t get airplay or appear on Spotify playlists. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad song and as long as it’s doing well with her demographic, i don’t see the harm.

Honestly, when Kylie was doing shit in 1997, was it because of chart manipulation?

Posted by: Midge 25th February 2018, 11:51 AM

Where was T Boy last night when I needed him?

Posted by: Steve201 25th February 2018, 12:31 PM

Agreed and with Kylie now getting the majority of plays on the likes of Heart of Radio 2 it probably means her album will sell more!

Posted by: SmileyKylie 25th February 2018, 01:00 PM

Kylie 12th 0.318 .... Remix slipping now to be expected

Posted by: Dark Horse 25th February 2018, 01:05 PM

If streaming is being so heavily counted into the chart then radio airplay and Youtube streams should also be added, only fair , the charts will be more accurate and diverse then...

Posted by: Dark Horse 25th February 2018, 01:08 PM

The difference is that madonna's last big hits were in 2005-2007 when Cd singles still sold loads, and therefore there was a lot of older acts scoring big hits. u cannot compAre that era to now. Its a totally different story now.

01. Rudimental - These Days

Have a big lead on JT now

Posted by: SmileyKylie 25th February 2018, 02:41 PM

Kylie sold about 1.8k in last 24 hours of Dancing . 1.5k of them the 59p version. Rudimental sold 5.5k, Justin T 5.1k.

Looks like Kylie may get a third week in top 100 official chart next Friday but let's see

Posted by: cqmerqn 25th February 2018, 02:55 PM

Another huge update for Rudimental.

JT down to 0.78

Posted by: SmileyKylie 25th February 2018, 03:05 PM

Yep Rudimental played live on Sunday Brunch. They even mentioned coming on the show so they can try and beat Drake to number one.

Posted by: dll 25th February 2018, 03:21 PM

The OCC are already a laughing stock and no longer even a real popularity chart, and some people here are arguing to make it an even bigger joke.

Get with the times (this also goes for out of touch dinosaurs at OCC).

Posted by: SmileyKylie 25th February 2018, 03:42 PM

The Spotify streams that make up the daily chart Are they the total or the total after the 10 plays limit etc?

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 25th February 2018, 03:59 PM

Saying they'd "skip" her because of her name is a ridiculous thing to say!

I know I have no realistic way of getting you to understand this and you'll probably defensively label me a "deluded fan" too, but you're simply being an obnoxious troll here.

Posted by: T Boy 25th February 2018, 04:04 PM

He didn’t say they’d skip it because of her name though, just because of the track, which isn’t enticing to most teenagers.

Although, I think the Spotify audience is so passive, that a lot wouldn’t skip it.

Posted by: Klumzee 25th February 2018, 04:08 PM

Actually caught the Rudimental performance on Sunday Brunch - was pretty decent actually and I've given the record a second chance so I'm sure it's done a good job towards winning some new fans and sales! It sounds a lot better when it's not got the generic drums and pitched vocals in the background!

11. Kylie - Dancing
47. Kylie - Dancing Remix

Posted by: SmileyKylie 25th February 2018, 04:30 PM

The remix needs to stick around a little here for Kylie and Also needs to pick up a few streams to help the Original. She maybe should have released all four remixes this week and all at 59p to really boost sales combined

Posted by: Midge 25th February 2018, 05:03 PM

Read T Boy's post from a teacher's perspective - one who teaches teenagers.

Rather rude to label me an 'obnoxious troll' for having formed an opinion different to yours - the obnoxious comment is yours! As I've already said I like Kylie but kids on the whole are going to be skipping her songs if they're on playlists. She's not what that demographic wants.

Posted by: iain 25th February 2018, 05:04 PM

Dancing is at 10 now.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 25th February 2018, 05:07 PM

Let's go Kylie! Get that third week top 100 please!

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 25th February 2018, 05:11 PM

As someone who also works with teenagers, most of the kids I talk to about music are fans of Drake, Ramz, J Hus, etc. That's not to say there aren't teenagers who'd be fans of Kylie though - I think a song like Dancing would have an audience amongst teenagers. It's not a million miles away from Anywhere and that was a streaming hit after all.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 25th February 2018, 05:14 PM

It's very easy to say that audience "don't care" or "can't connect" to her, but with the main commercial radio stations not playing her and it not being added to any of the key Spotify playlists, what chance does it even have of reaching out to them in the first place?

Posted by: ___∆___ 25th February 2018, 05:18 PM

Hope Kylie can get a further boost now that she’s Top 10 - the fact it’s 59p should also help keep it stable. Great result from 1 performance and I didn’t think it would make the iTunes Top 10 once let alone twice several weeks apart, just hope she can snatch 1 week Top 40 officially!

Posted by: Joe. 25th February 2018, 05:19 PM

Brayden coming with the facts.

While aimed more to that demographic than say iTunes is these days...Y'all know that it's not only kids/teens who use Spotify right? Myself and all my friends are late twenties/early thirties and we all use Spotify (or Apple Music) and I'm pretty sure my parents use it too...Spotify is the main way of music consumption for most of the music-listening population now.


Anyway, I think the point is that a huge proportion of Spotify listeners listen to music/playlists very passively. A lot of the time without even probably knowing who they're listening to. Nobody was saying that Kylie would be the next Post Malone of streaming if added to playlists, but I doubt every single person, if they found themselves bopping to 'Dancing' and checked out who the artist would be like "Oh no, she's not relevant, I'd better not listen to this again'.

Posted by: ___∆___ 25th February 2018, 05:25 PM

^^ Without going off track too much, 99% of my music consumption is streaming however the majority of that is playlists, complications and the charts, I have to go out of my way to create playlists or look up artists I like when they release something new/are not featured on playlists which of course I do but so many songs get played and rack up sales from me because of where they are featured and the fact I use playlists for the gym, background music etc.,

Posted by: iain 25th February 2018, 05:31 PM

I’m actually surprised that Spotify aren’t actively marketing to a slightly older audience, including gearing some of the playlists towards them, it seems like huge untapped potential to me.

Posted by: Joe. 25th February 2018, 05:33 PM

To be fair, they do. I just opened Spotify and "Easy 60s", "Peaceful Guitar" and "Jazz" are the main playlists being advertised, all of which I've guess would not be aimed at "kids".

Posted by: Midge 25th February 2018, 05:41 PM

What about 'current' playlists aimed at 24+?

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 25th February 2018, 05:45 PM

There are plenty of them? Hot Hits UK surely has something for all ages. It's not "Tweeny Bops UK". There are playlists like that, but something like Hot Hits is just as much for people 24+ as it is for teenagers.

Posted by: The Snake 25th February 2018, 05:45 PM

Dancing is so so generic sounding (basically sounds like a Kygo produced track) anyway so she and her management have tried her best to fit in with the current sound, and still it hasn't worked the best.

Maybe she would have been better going deep or tech house with a dance producer on board and appealing to that market!

Posted by: Midge 25th February 2018, 05:47 PM

I think Kylie's new single at least is very 'Kylie' in 2018 and that's exactly what *I* want from her.

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 25th February 2018, 05:52 PM

10. Kylie Minogue - Dancing

Huge impact from Ant & Dec!

Posted by: Bjork 25th February 2018, 06:03 PM

the label should pay and have it added to hot hits on spotify, that's how it works when songs are non-spotify-esque
or do you think sam smith's too good at goodbyes was spotify-friendly? Sam smith is more Adult-oriented than anything
and total opposite of what people stream in spotify, he's the anti-drake, the anti-post malone

but his label got a deal with spotify and he was insta-added as song #1 on all imaginable playlists, of course hot hits and nmf,
and he even had a video... and of course the deal worked and got tons of streams
that's how you play the game and how you make sure you got a comeback

of course not all artist can get this kinda deal, but sure with a little investment, paying a few $$$ to spotify, something can be done

Posted by: Midge 25th February 2018, 06:07 PM

Sam Smith does have the hype behind him though; there were expectations that his comeback would get to number 1.

What happened to Emeli Sandé with the lead single from her 2nd album - I forget what it was even called?!

Posted by: cqmerqn 25th February 2018, 06:45 PM

Hurts

Posted by: Joe. 25th February 2018, 06:48 PM

I think era 3 will really struggle for Sam.

Posted by: cqmerqn 25th February 2018, 06:49 PM

Yup, it’s clear that he won’t get a hit songle again from this album. He will need to rely on features I think.

Posted by: danG 25th February 2018, 06:58 PM

I reckon Sam is begging Disclosure to do another collab to give him a much needed hit single in-between eras. And it'll happen cos Disclosure really need the hit too.

Posted by: Scene 25th February 2018, 06:59 PM

Sam should get MK to remix an album track for single release - his remix of MOMM never gets old and he's bigger than ever right now. Sam needs an upbeat hit like Lana with SS.

Posted by: T Boy 25th February 2018, 07:08 PM

It’s only people, like Sam Smith, who are desperate for a hit single that have to buy a place on Spotify playlists.

Kylie’s Label could easily do it, but she and they are clearly not interested in getting a hit single. All of Kylie’s current promotion is in hope the album will sell well. Kylie has had more than enough top 10 hits between 1988 and 2011, she probably doesn’t care if she never gets another. She’s not in need of them to keep her career going. She did, once, but no longer.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 25th February 2018, 07:11 PM

Well kylie did a small advert I remember with Spotify
But never made any playlists so......
I do wonder if she has something else up her sleeve but doubt it.

She has more versions around to be released on Itunes and Spotify. Let's see.

She has her concerts in a few weeks which could generate interest and if some of her mixes like Anton Powers and Illyus and barrientos mixes get playlisted who knows. Problem is by them her sales from ituhes will be non existent

Posted by: Regina 25th February 2018, 07:32 PM

Dancing is not generic at all. The song is a reflection of where she is as an artic. She is 30 years into her career and has nothing to prove to anyone.
She went through hell in 2016 and poured her heaet into this era and the music and was inspired by her surroundings. The country twang to Dancing lends itself to the lyics.
A tech house sound would not lend itself to a song about welcoming death. At all. She does not need to appeal to anyone.

Posted by: cqmerqn 25th February 2018, 07:40 PM

Dancing is a basic bop but I’m LIVING for it

Posted by: Joe. 25th February 2018, 07:48 PM

‘Dancing’ is the first Kylie song I’ve really enjoyed since ‘Slow’. I wouldn’t say it was that basic, though does have some ‘modern’ production elements, namely the drop on the post chorus instrumental, but it’s still quite an interesting song. The double meaning about death is quite beautiful, empowering and euphoric when you think about Kylie’s past.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 25th February 2018, 09:43 PM

Holding on to number 10 on Itunes nicely. 9th combined with the Initial Talk remix. Not going to go any higher and will probably drop but if it can stay top 30 for rest of week then top 100 chart position should be achievable

Posted by: gavindeejay 25th February 2018, 09:44 PM

Did Kylie get a play on The Big Top 40 tonight then?

Posted by: Jonjo 25th February 2018, 09:48 PM

Not a fan of 'All The Lovers'?

Posted by: SmileyKylie 25th February 2018, 09:54 PM

What is the big top 40?

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 25th February 2018, 10:01 PM

Nope, the top 10 is just as fabricated as the rest of the chart now instead of being the iTunes top 10!

Posted by: Joe. 25th February 2018, 10:02 PM

It’s cute.

Posted by: Jonjo 25th February 2018, 10:04 PM

I think the word(s) you're looking for are "euphoric pop joy" that final minute or so... CHILLS. Every time. It's the song to make me warm to her as an artist tbh.

However, keep up with the 'Slow' appreciation *.*

Posted by: cqmerqn 25th February 2018, 10:09 PM

All The Lovers is definitely Kylie’s best song.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 25th February 2018, 10:13 PM

Kylie still doing very well on Itunes. ... 0.336 and dark green! Can it snatch Ann Marie 9th and Drake 8th.... doubtful but already if combined with remix she is 8th

Posted by: 777666jason 25th February 2018, 10:48 PM

J7st a shame this Kylie talk can't translate to a hit

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 25th February 2018, 11:02 PM

Just want to say regarding this, I'm sorry for the slightly extreme way in which I reacted. But keep in mind, I said you were being an obnoxious troll rather than you are an obnoxious troll.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 25th February 2018, 11:04 PM

Good point. But, 'On a Night Like This' says hello.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 25th February 2018, 11:06 PM

Look, the (untrue and grossly unfair) comparison to Kygo is (in my opinion) really offensive and it upsets me. So, stop doing that.

Posted by: Midge 25th February 2018, 11:07 PM

Apology accepted; please drop me a PM in future if you have a problem with something I post though - I by no means have been *intending* to be an obnoxious troll and would much rather not come across as one if that is in fact the case.

Posted by: Midge 25th February 2018, 11:08 PM

Both great but "Love At First Sight" slightly edges it from a whole host of tracks for me... her back catalogue (2000s onwards in particular) is filled with great pop tracks with that Kylie charm!

Posted by: mdh 25th February 2018, 11:16 PM

in all honesty, 'Dancing' is a genuinely refreshing take on modern tropical pop - it doesn't have the same, boring, drop reliant structure that most chart music has yet it still manages to sound like a well-crafted pop banger.

Posted by: Cody On Ice 25th February 2018, 11:17 PM

Let's just wait it out you guys. I think the additional promo has been able to generate more hype and something will happen. If she makes the top 40, then great. More exposure for the single.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 25th February 2018, 11:26 PM

Dancing still going well. Up to 8th combined ahead of Drake now. Pity he streams more in one day than she does in a year lol

Let's see if the 59p pricing keeps her up to 30 on Itunes for rest of week, doubtful but would be a nice bonus.

She needs around 9,000 units for top 40 so I doubt she will be anywhere near that but I think she could maybe do around 3.5k sales and 1k streams and make top 100

Posted by: _jase 25th February 2018, 11:28 PM

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 26th February 2018, 01:16 AM

On the subject of Sam Smith as he was discussed earlier, 'One Last Song' is the only single of his I've even LIKED and the fact that it's the one single of his that has flopped is really annoying!

Posted by: Dexton 26th February 2018, 01:22 AM

I think that artists such as Pink, Sam Smith, Taylor Swift, etc have all suffered from releasing their albums after releasing just one single from it. Their first single is a huge hit (mostly #1 or very popular anyway) but second singles come after the album don’t have anywhere near as much momentum or hype because fans have already listened to the songs. For example Beautiful Trauma, could’ve easily been a Top 10 hit if it was released before the albums release but because it was released after, many people had already bought/streamed the song on the album and so couldn’t support it to the extent they could What About Us. Exactly the same can be said about Sam Smith with Too Good... & One Last Song

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 26th February 2018, 01:30 AM

'Love At First Sight' as a teenager discovering my way in this world is the song that made me a Kylie fan!

It's been the same ever since and I've been what could be described as a 'stan', but the 'I Was Gonna Cancel' video happened and that Christmas album happened. She's given me endless reasons to feel embarrassed to be a fan over the past four years, but she has now got me back on board with 'Dancing'. It is a BOP!

Posted by: SmileyKylie 26th February 2018, 07:03 AM

Kylie the only green song in the top 10 at last update with 0.34 ... 0.39 combined with remix. I think it will sneak a top 40 spot in today's official top 100 update but then drop down as usual during week

Posted by: The Snake 26th February 2018, 11:41 AM

You are right in a lot of aspects, but I still find Dancing quite generic production wise, the country/electronic drop thing has been done loads recently by the likes of Kygo. As you say Kylie has nothing to prove and doesn't need her music to specifically appeal to an audience, so it is disappointing for me Dancing doesn't sound more different to pop music trends recently

As for Kylie's best song 'On A Night like this' is definitely my favourite.

Posted by: pippa 26th February 2018, 04:26 PM

Kylie's Dancing is refreshing as there is no other song like it around in the charts at the moment.

As for Kylie's best song, i would have 5 standouts from her catalogue but it is a tough call between All The Lovers and Better The Devil You Know. Like others have posted, Kylie has nothing to prove,after 30 years of delivering hits she has her name cemented. For her to still be in the charts, releasing albums and singles, touring and receiving good tv promotion is a bonus. Her medley on SNT was 5 minutes of feel music and it also highlighted how down to earth she is, she seemed to have a great time performing the medley with Ant and Dec.

To be fair there's only 2 shows on a Saturday and 3 on a Sunday where it would be played and C List usually only means 1 play per day.

It was played on Matt Edmondson's show on Saturday, but not at all on Sunday or today which is odd.

I'm so disappointed with it compared to Sigala's usual standard and having Paloma on it.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 27th February 2018, 12:37 AM

I don't get why the physical release by Kylie is so are,this week would have ideal as it would boost by around 2,000 I'd say,I'm sure she has the fan base me included to reach that.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 27th February 2018, 04:07 AM

Because management team have used it as a selling point for for fans to have to buy the album bundles....

She has also done a Cd single + t-shirt offer or Australian Mardi Gras. You get the tshirt now but have to wait for the single. Makes money I guess.

She also has the remixes coming out week by week rather than in a bundle. So instead of a £1.49 or £1.99 bundle of 3/4 songs sheis keeping you 99p for each 😏

Posted by: jafetsigfinns 27th February 2018, 09:30 AM

Yeah, really don't get that comparison. I love Kylie but Dancing is a bit of a disappointment to me - a Kygo-esque production would only have made it better imho

Posted by: Midge 27th February 2018, 09:39 AM

I think the marketing strategy for "Dancing" makes sense, while it sacrifices a higher peak position it will keep fans interest in the song right up until the album release with something new to grab each week. It should keep the song top 100 for a few weeks as there are enough fans to purchase each new remix each week.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 27th February 2018, 10:10 AM

Kylie started the drop on iTunes. Needed to sustain that momentum all week and the remix to hang around. Needed one more promo slit really and there isn't any other than tickets on sale tomorrow. The silly leak and early release cost. Her a top 40 hit.

Posted by: Dan_Cymru 27th February 2018, 10:10 AM

Sigala and Paloma now up to 10, Kylie down to 12

Posted by: iain 27th February 2018, 10:18 AM

I mean the Kylie drop was inevitable. A big promo slot sends it into the top 10 for a couple of days, but no radio play means that it drops as soon as the promo impact wears off.

Posted by: Joe. 27th February 2018, 10:20 AM

Capital and Heart both supported Into The Blue, and I feel like Dancing is a bit more modern-radio friendly with more potential to hang around a bit, so it's a shame they've not given Dancing any support. I suppose it was inevitable though.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 27th February 2018, 10:42 AM

Kylie Minogue iTunes run in first week... 2-9-19-31-38-56-57

Kylie Minogue iTunes run in sixth week ... 80-10-10-12 or combined probably around 35-9-8-10 ....

Reduced to 59p she should be able to match that first week if stays stable until Thursday.

Streaming will have been more in first week obviously but I think she has a chance of staying top 50 for official chart

so glad George Ezra is finally doing something! He's got an amazing voice and definitely doesn't deserve that second album slump. Still not sure why Don't Matter Now didn't even make top 40. Hopefully his streaming can catch up too as I think Paradise is a pretty wide appealing song.

Surprised this is taking off?! Don’t Matter Now was much more commercial and radio friendly

The fact that Toni Braxton has managed to reach the top 50 on iTunes in 2018 makes my head spin

Posted by: Shia LeMuffQueef 27th February 2018, 08:06 PM

Dancing is shet.

I had to turn it off after 1 minute.

Posted by: SmileyKylie 27th February 2018, 08:34 PM

Kylie's Dancing held well. 15 and 98 and combined 0.297 after Tuesday.

Posted by: GTH 27th February 2018, 08:34 PM

I would definitely say paradise is much more commercial and fits the sound of his first album stuff more.

Posted by: _jase 27th February 2018, 08:54 PM

Yup!

Posted by: GTH 27th February 2018, 09:21 PM

Just noticed Toni Braxton is 45! Anyone know why the sudden surge of interest?

Would love to see this song do something over here. Even top 100 would be a big success for Toni at this point. Been streaming it loads since it came out a couple weeks back.

Soon as itunes sales decline more, I think we could even see metal bands going top 50 with lead singles from albums!

Posted by: Liаm 28th February 2018, 12:23 AM

Omg gwon Toni

Posted by: Jonjo 28th February 2018, 12:23 AM

It's hilarious that Alexandra Burke comes back with a Toni Braxton B-Side sounding track after a successful stint on the biggest reality show just before Christmas and struggles to go top 100!

Poor Burkey

Posted by: 777666jason 28th February 2018, 12:30 AM

Braxton was on loose women she has a new album and single coming out and apparently she's like the kardashians these day we with the reality show braxton family values

Posted by: jazzy_765 28th February 2018, 10:24 AM

Bazzi MUST climb! Pleaseeeeeee

Posted by: sammy01 28th February 2018, 11:12 AM

Outside of the top 20 the itunes chart is pretty meaningless now. It is like the cd single sales 2005 to 2007.

Or perhaps, she came over and did some promo? (Like someone has already stated)

Posted by: sammy01 28th February 2018, 12:57 PM

Yes but promo or not getting top 50 on itunes just doesn't mean anything anymore was my point. People on this forum still hold far too much weight to getting into the top 50 on itunes singles chart.

Posted by: Bjork 28th February 2018, 12:59 PM

50 downloads per day and you're top 100 on itunes, that's what it takes (not much)

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 28th February 2018, 01:00 PM

I think we're coming from the perspective "Toni Braxton even selling 10 singles in 2018 is somewhat an achievement".

Go on Bebe, a star in the making even if it's taking time.

I'm not usually one to slate artists as each to their own but Lily Allen is really embarrasing herself. First with her Taking immagrants in crap (She didn't) and now this song.

Trigger Bang is a tune tho

Posted by: jazzy_765 1st March 2018, 10:01 AM

Glad to see George Ezra getting a hit...... I wonder if his new album will even sell half the number of copies his last album has sold🤔😣

Posted by: Bjork 1st March 2018, 10:23 AM

half? he'd probably won't even do 1/10 (sadly)

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 1st March 2018, 10:27 AM

Pretty sure 120k of his album is achievable now he's acquiring a decent sized hit from it.

Posted by: Bjork 1st March 2018, 10:38 AM

i mean, I can see him doing 100-ish K but don't think he can repeat the success of his debut or even do half of it
if even sam smith can only do 500k

27. Calum Scott & Leona Lewis - You Are The Reason

Surprised this is still doing as well as it is. I believe it's top 20 when combined. Shame it isn't doing anything on streaming. Even if it was around #100 on spotify for a week it would likely manage a top 40 position.

Kylie Dancing gone dark green again on last update and moved up from 19 to 17. Done really well this week. Another Illyus & Barrientos Club Mix coming tomorrow and a more commercial/mainstream country mix may also drop that seems to be playing on Heart FM

Kylie will probably sell more tomorrow than she did last Friday so could be another ok week for her. The 59p is helping to sustain it. They should drop both remixes to 59p too! If she can make the top 100 again next week I will be happy.

Love George being top 10 if they reduce to 59p tomorrow then could climb a lot further

Posted by: Lomadz 1st March 2018, 10:09 PM

Is the Meghan Trainor song a proper single?

Yes, it’s the lead single and it’s doing TERRIBLY.

It's only been out for half a day, give it a chance

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 1st March 2018, 11:22 PM

Meghan's not a fanbase act either, NO took a few weeks to go top 40 and obviously Me Too didn't even make it close, so let's not set our expectations too high.
