I could maybe see this getting top 40 if it got a high profile performance, but I'm realistically expecting a #74 smash.

Strictly seems more plausible than X-Factor but I'm not sure that would even help it scrape top 40 tbh.

I see this is still showing up in the New Release Schedule, credited solely as 'Kylie Minogue - Beautiful'

 

However, 24th November is less than 4 weeks away and still no news/confirmation about what's happening with it

 

Anyone got any idea??

My bet is this wont go ahead.

If the rumours are true and she's no longer with Parlophone then why would this be released?

The thing is that she didn't deny the "rumour" this time.

I think the only thing to suggest this may still be pushed as a single is the fact the Kiss Me Once Tour returns to the UK from 9th-13th November, when she'll presumably do some TV promotion, i.e. pre-recorded performance for Strictly/X Factor/chat show or Children in Need.

totally agree.... she will be no doubt doing some TV promo and Enrique is also touring UK at the same time as release date I think? so makes perfect sense for both..... I would think Strictly is more suited to this song....

I think if both she and Enrique sung this live together or one of those shows and have a music video too boost and take out that awful autotune, then maybe, just maybe it could hopefully save the era and then maybe have Les Sex as the 4th possible single, that's just wishful thinking...
