Light Years getting so close to 500,000!

 

Posted on SayHey, think it’s from the new MusicWeek article

Hopefully that KM94 is a typo as it’s dropped from 127k.

 

SBIT added 4000 since August, and KMO going Gold isn’t such a pipe dream now. It’s added a 1000 sales in a year.

I would expect a slight increase if nothing else.

The album must be coming to 130,000 now.

Impossible Princess 64,483 :nocheer:

 

Such tragic sales for her best album :drama:

It's taken a very long time to even get them aswell.

 

Yes :cry: Just pleased it has at least gone silver officially - would love to see KMO pass Gold eventually too.

Shame IP hasn’t added much through streaming and the tracks added to SBIT are so low down they’re not really bumping up the numbers.

 

That said, streaming is going to continue to bring new certifications to much of her older back catalogue eventually. Gold for KMO, and Platinum for TARS are likely to be the first beneficiaries.

Is abbey roads far away from platinum.

 

We’ve not had an update since last year but before SBIT was released it was benefitting from streams of the biggest hits that are on it. So it will not be benefitting as much now but it’ll still be getting points. Maybe it’s on 250k now, who knows?

I think im happier that SBIT would get the sales now to keep its sales ticking over but id be happy for abbey roads to get 300k so kylie would have another platinum selling album.

Wonderful to get another update! I've worked out how her albums have sold since August 2019 when we last received an update:

 

Since w/e 1 August 2019 (62 weeks ago):

+7,704 Golden (124 weekly average)

+4,408 Light Years (71)

+4,393 Fever (71)

+4,369 Kylie Christmas

+3,166 Aphrodite (51)

+1,713 X (28)

+1,699 Kiss Me Once (27)

+502 Body Language (8)

 

Since w/e 15 August 2019 (60 weeks ago):

+481 Impossible Princess (8)

-1,734 Kylie Minogue

 

Golden was on 156,423 seven weeks ago, which puts its average at a slightly lower 102 copies. Step Back in Time has managed 4,102 copies in the last seven weeks, averaging 586 a week.

 

I assume the 2018 vinyl release has not been counted towards the new total for Kylie Minogue (1994), which is why it appears the album has lost sales.

Those streams coming through for SBIT - that’s a healthy number to shift weekly.

 

KMO should go Gold in time for her 60th :lol: And poor IP getting those 8 weekly sales :drama:

Guess IP performing worst because it lacks any big single...they should add WTWRG to it or KM94 for the online versions haha
Yes :cry: Just pleased it has at least gone silver officially - would love to see KMO pass Gold eventually too.

For some reason it isn't actually certified silver, despite exceeding 60k sales.

I find it surprising that Light Years has sold slightly better since the last update than Fever!

Maybe the BPI should be emailed - definitely should have been part of their July 2013 massive update! I also find it odd that the original release of Kylie's 1992 Greatest Hits wasn't certified at the time.

 

I thought the same re: 'Light Years' doing slightly better than 'Fever'. I guess most of those sales are from streams, of which will have been mostly from fans who consider both albums to be her best.

 

Since the June 2009 update, 'Light Years' has sold 20,056 and 'Fever' has sold 33,477 - such small trickle sales, although it seems streams are improving things - 22% of those sales for 'Light Years' occurred between August 2019 to now!
