Agree with everyone else here - great song, Kylie's never done a song like this and it's got a great tune. But there seems to be a bias for women past 40 as far as R1 is concerned. There are exceptions though (like didn't R1 play the hell out of Madonna's Confessions in 2005?) so we can only hope that her being a judge on a BBC show makes all applicable BBC Radio stations playlist the song.

 

I'll also be keen to see what kind of 'image' goes with this song. I loved the "mature" image of "all the lovers" but with "Get outta my way", a lot of teens I know said she was being a Gaga wannabe (I disagree, but those kids make up the big record buying demographic).

Ha, yes but my point is if 'Slow' was released at this stage of her career it wouldn't go anywhere near Number 1.

 

She's not following up 'Fever' anymore :(

 

As long as it sells steadily I'm not fussed where it charts.

 

A chart run like Gary Barlow's Let Me Go would be very good.

I sort of hoped she would've done something like Confide in Me and Put Yourself in My Place - a strong ballad with great tune.

 

With this she is sort of between R1 and R2 demographics. Only performances will help this chart top ten imo. Although sales have been quite low recently so with her fanbase it might sneak into top 5.

This just gets better with each listen, the chorus is joyous. It reminds me "Roar" in that way.

I've come to the conclusion I'd love this to be #1 but I doubt it will happen. What is the release date for this?

If your screen name is anything to go by, you're a teensy weensy bit biased though!

Lovers! I'm joining Ken Bruce for the UK radio premiere of ‪#‎IntoTheBlue‬ today at 11AM GMT on BBC Radio 2!!

 

I assume Radio 1 aren't going to be taking it on then?

We can only hope it'll sell like 'Move Like Jagger', making Radio 1 look like complete idiots for snubbing it... :P

I guess we'll know for certain if Radio 1 are definitely snubbing it by mid-February, but I'm fully expecting them to. :angry:

I think it will chart between #7 to #8 followed by a huge drop the next week.

It might end up performing similarly to Gary Barlow's single, you never know. I think Radio 2 will certainly playlist it.

Bump (because it needed it). :)

I'm going to be fairly optimistic and say #5, could be a bit lower but fingers crossed for at least top 10.

Deserves number 1 but sadly it will probably be beaten by DVBBS but I'm going for number 3 with a similar run as All The Lovers as radio 2 and capital are playing it and no doubt she will perform it on the Voice

Top 3. It'll have longevity on the lines of ATL hopefully

Not expecting this to do that well. I'm predicting low end of the top10 for one week followed by big drop.

I actually really like it. Was surprised it was here when they said it at the end of the song. It was on BBc1 a few weeks back but like 3am :/

 

Seeing as radio can be pretty ageist at times, I don't expect it to do well, but it'd deserve it, first big hit since All the Lovers? (which was also v. good.)

 

 

I've put between 6&10. It's a great track and I think her fan base will easily get this into the Top 10. Hopefully she does abit of promo outside of The Voice (Graham Norton, Jonathan Ross, etc...) to support this as she's in the country.

I'm not sure there's even going to be a physical release though - and if not, that'll hurt sales by several thousand at least...

It's not doing well on pre-orders on iTunes, but I guess the demographic who are being exposed to the song aren't of the age where they rush out to pre-order a single on iTunes.
