I can't help but think Kylie would be better to release something before Christmas, rather than in January when sales are usually quite low. Yeah, sure it's likely to perform better chart position wise but sales are likely to be poor. Kylie Christmas album peaked at no12 and that's for a Christmas album, with good promotion there is every reason to believe she could achieve a top5 album with healthy sales if the material is right.

BREAK UP KYLIE IS MY SPIRIT ANIMAL.

January is better, she may get lost in the Xmas market.........

 

She can do promo in Jan & Feb , maybe a TV special/January promo and build the album for the whole year with pricing campaigns etc

 

the Xmas songs streaming will just have finished and their will be room for Kylie to added to Spotify playlists etc.

 

 

Posted on Kylie's Twitter yesterday:

New music coming in 2018 for all the #Lovers!

Gah! Can't wait to put my stanning hat back on for new music!!

Kylie was included in the Official Charts Company's list of Albums to Look Forward to in 2018:

 

The Australian pop princess's fourteenth studio album is slated for release in 2018. Kylie described the upcoming LP as "super positive and inspiring", while her new label BMG have described her as the "ultimate artist" and said a "great, big, classic Kylie album" is on the way.

 

Kylie's been recording in Nashville and working with the likes of Sigala and DJ Fresh on new material, and reports suggest we'll be hearing a dancefloor bop very soon - the lead single could drop in January.

Cowboy style ... Kylie’s Parton gift to us all

As 2017 hangs up its hotpants, we’re further from Spinning Around than that song was from I Should Be So Lucky, so it is safe to say Kylie’s turn-of-the-millennium comeback has been something of a success. Kylie will be aiming for her 16th Top 10 album in 2018, with songs that showcase a new focus on lyrical storytelling via themes of “freedom, self-discovery, life and love”. “The album,” Kylie tells the Guide in a short but perfectly formed email that represents the absolute textual embodiment of that’ll-do-nicely, “is a collision of some elements of country and dance, made at the altar of Dolly Parton standing on a dancefloor.”

 

It will be Kylie’s first album for new label BMG, where she has been reunited with the A&R bigwig who oversaw her 21st-century relaunch, with collaborators including DJ Fresh and long-term associates Biff Stannard and Karen Poole. Recorded throughout 2017, it shifted gear following a trip to Nashville, where the album “found its heart”. “There’s a little bit of heartbreak, I would say,” Kylie noted in October. “But we bounce back. Most of it is super-positive and inspiring, as a note to self as much as anything else. I’m feeling great right now.” PR

 

 

 

 

 

Yee-haw! Other dance-country hybrids:

 

• Rednex Cotton Eye Joe

• Shania Twain Man, I Feel Like a Woman

• Avicii Wake Me Up

• Steps 5, 6, 7, 8

• Madonna Don’t Tell Me

I've read on popjustice that according to someone who is in the know, the new single will be out on 16th February and the album to follow on 2nd March. If true, not long away and I'll be in Australia myself then!!!

Seems intriguing. I don't think we're wanting a 'Cotton Eye Joe' or '5 6 7 8' from Kylie (as much as I ADORE those) but something like 'Don't Tell Me' would be great.

Great ! Can't wait for the new music from her !

I just want a good pop album from her and an album I enjoy,I'd settle for even enjoying just a few songs on the album.

 

Realistically what's everyone sales expectations for the album? For me if she can outsell kiss me once it would be great.

 

I'd love a number 1 even if on low sales, a sixth number 1 would be great.

I don't think there's any reason why she can't still go Gold with solid promo and well-received songs, but it's hard to tell at this stage how well she'll do.

 

In terms of first week performance, if she's going for a March release, then she'll easily get another high peak, if not #1.

If any of her singles sounds like Avicii Wake Me Up, it would be great !

I think what will realistically happen, it'll go top 5 on fanbase sales and drop out of the top 100 after 4 or 5 weeks. Selling 40,000 approximately in total.

The new Dolly & Kenny.

I'm here for a Kylie & JT collab!

All I think about when I hear dance and country together is this:

 

 

Kylie would've slayed it tbh

That would work so well for Kylie! It's got just the right amount of novelty and is such an instant banger. Deliver, Kylie, deliver!

Gimme a banger like this Mini
