#69 today.

It would be wonderful if it manages a top 75 position this week, with it improving its position on the previous update it may happen.

Fever makes a chart return at number 84.

^ Actually, #89!

 

 

Other positions:

 

Physical: #34

Sales: #49

Scottish: #44

 

 

Kylie did better than the other two Sainsbury's vinyl exclusives this week (in the vinyl chart - T-Rex at #9, and Ian Dury at #19).

 

The last time 'Fever' was within the Top 100 was in October 2003! This is its 84th week in the chart.

Shame it missed the top 75 but its good to see it in the charts again and adding a few more sales as well,

Total sales for Fever stand at 1.713m.

Wonderful sales. If only her new album could sell a quarter of that.

Or even a tenth.

Her Christmas album managed that amount (a 10th) so hopefulloy the new album can at least match that. That said, Kiss Me Once, fell well short of that figure.

It was helped by being out at a high sales time and being something of a novelty type product.

Fever had sold 1.682m as of November 2006, so has only sold 31k in the 126 months that have passed (~246 copies sold per month). Seems to suggest there's a lack of Kylie stock and copies aren't getting reissued.

Or just a lack of interest.

Lack of interest = lack of stock, I imagine, but there's definitely got to be a lack of stock. I'd find it hard to believe one of her best selling albums wouldn't have received purchases when she released X, Aphrodite and Kiss Me Once unless there was just a lack of stock in stores. It's the same with Madonna, outside of The Immaculate Collection and Celebration, which just seems odd to me when you consider other hugely successful acts are always getting their back catalogue stocked up and receiving various re-issues.

I'd think the issue is that you can get all the Fever singles plus her other singles on her various compilations released in those 126 months. She's released two official ones, not counting the various GHs that were released without her permission...

'Can't Get You Out of My Head' has sold a combined 1,263,985 copies (1,195,229 sales; 68,756 streams) and 'Especially for You' has sold 1,011,639 (1,008,057 sales; 3,582 streams).

Good to have an update on that! :D

It is wonderful she has 2 million selling singles based purely on sales, not downloads, streams etc.

 

If Cant Get You Out of My Head was a monster hit in this era like it was originally, it would easily be over 2 million.

To be fair if you go into records shops all of Madonna's and Kylie's albums are available. Maybe not in supermarkets (although I would say that Like a prayer constantly appears in supermarkets).

Santa Baby has re-charted, number 98 last week and 47 this week. I don't know if it was in the Top 200 before that.

The OCC don't compile a Top 200 anymore since the ACR rules were put into place, so just two weeks charting so far this year.
