What UK records does Kylie hold over Madonna?
Especially Hung Up came out during the lowest sales era possible. It should be "an easy" million seller in regards of popularity (3 weeks at #1, 29 weeks in top 75).

What UK records does Kylie hold over Madonna?
She does now! (thanks to streaming bumping the numbers up) Although before streaming, the highest was 'Into The Groove' on 800-something-k.

They only have a population of 5 million though. Australia’s certs are a joke - basically everything goes Platinum 🤣

What UK records does Kylie hold over Madonna?
Kylie first 7 singles went Top 2 and first 13 Top singles all went Top 10 which i think is still a record that Kylie holds for a female artist, (i know acts such as Boyzone for example had a longer run of top 10 hits from their debut) Madonna's opening run didnt achieve this but she have a longer run of top 10s after. Kylie achieved number 1 with her debut and her first 2 albums both went number 1 which Madonna didnt achieve as her first album made number 6. I find it shocking that Madonna doesn't have a UK million selling single and also that Kylie only has 2 as both have a good few songs that you just assume sold in far bigger quantities than they did ( i know sales were lower in their big eras) although if the same hits had the same success in the streaming era they both would have so many more million sellers which they are both worthy of.

In Your Eyes must be closing down on Gold too. So many must be close to silver. Oh I pray we have an insider update soon.- Tension Tour ● SPOILERS thread
It's a week old but this tweet has the list of all the songs:- Kylie ● UK Chart Runs & Sales
'Kids' sold 283k as of the w/e 25th July 2019, meaning it has averaged 389 chart sales per week. I suspected it would be certified Gold this year but didn't think it would be this soon in the year. I'm desperately waiting for 'Slow' to go Silver before anything else! 'On a Night Like This' is on track to be Kylie's next Gold certified song but I estimate it to be about 300k, so it's a long way off yet.- What UK records does Kylie hold over Madonna?
Madonna did set the record for most plays in a week with 'Beautiful Stranger'. It was also the #1 radio hit of 1999, making Madonna the first female soloist to achieve this since current records began (which admittedly was only 6 years prior). Kylie's debut album has outsold all of Madonna's studio albums. It was the biggest album of 1988 which is something I don't think Madonna has done.- What UK records does Kylie hold over Madonna?
Promise this isn't meant to be a Kylie vs Madonna thread. My mate asked me the other day and these are the ones that came to mind: only female artist with at least a #1 album in 5 consecutive decades Two million selling songs in the UK (Madonna hasn't had any, or just 1. Am I wrong)? CGYOOMH and LAFS broke airplay records in the UK, Madonna has never had a "breaking airplay" kind of song Not exactly more, but Kylie has almost had the same no. of top 10 albums like Madonna.- Tension Tour ● SPOILERS thread
Basketball game, not (American) football. Football season runs Sept-Feb. The reason this wasn't known back then is because they didn't know if the team would make the playoffs and if the playoff game (they play 7 in each divisional round) would be scheduled "home" or "away" (when the game is scheduled in the opponent's base).- Tension Tour ● SPOILERS thread
I caught her in the Seattle show (I was supposed to in Vancouver, didn't work out for other reasons). Great show overall. She was very overwhelmed by the arena size crowds in the USA, I don't think she'd ever have imagined she'd be filling up arenas at this stage in her career. she was emotional and speechless at times. Song request was Tightrope. I saw banners asking for "All i see" and "In my arms" but for some reason, she elected to do RBW instead. Odd choice. Overall, the concert was great. Plusses: balanced setlist, great crowd that knew a lot of her songs, some songs sounded great live (like the DJ Alok song, EOSN, etc.) and this is the first time I'm seeing Padam live, and it truly is an iconic song! HOTN is also great live. Not so good's: They've cut corners on the sets. It looked a bit cheapo to be honest, but then again she's such a charmer she doesn't need fancy sets. I wasn't a fan of all the fashion choices, esp the last but one act (Head, ATL, etc.). Support act - Rita Ora is truly sh*t, no wonder even Kylie didn't bother thanking her or inviting her on stage at the end. All in all, a great day and I'm sure Kylie has the confidence she can come back to the US for more promotional work or touring.- Neon Nights Remixed ● Record Store Day release
Have kept my vinyl sealed so just streaming now for the first time - brilliant set of remixes and works really well as album.- Tension II ● album discussion
I would have assumed all the lovers managed it aswell.- Kylie ● UK Chart Runs & Sales
I do like Kids but tour wise overuse killed it a bit, good to see another certification coming through, spinning around must be next id say.- Padam Padam ● 1st single
New Zealand thresh hold sales are so low, i never realised that before, 15k for gold.- Neon Nights Remixed ● Record Store Day release
The Greatest Hits is the one id be interested in,- Neon Nights Remixed ● Record Store Day release
Totally this! London have done a great job with NN (as have Cherry Red with Girl). Would love GITY or the Greatest Hits to get some re-release treatment next.- Neon Nights Remixed ● Record Store Day release
London Records went conservative on this one - I think they’ve realised it had some more mileage, they put the extras on her website and they sold quickly - even though there wasn’t many it shows there is still demand. Glad it’s made it to streaming, I wouldn’t be surprised if another vinyl appeared in another colour.- Kylie ● UK Chart Runs & Sales
Not my favourite track by any means but ALWAYS good to see Kylie snatch another certification!- Padam Padam ● 1st single
New Zealand: Gold (15k) “Padam Padam” has been certified gold in the Netherlands, for 10 MILLION+ streams. - Kylie ● UK Chart Runs & Sales
