I know, but it shouldn't be. Ultimately, age is the only thing that is making Kylie "irrelevant". The Aphrodite era was successful so it's not like Radio 1 began ignoring her because she was flopping. Furthermore, Into the Blue sounded massive to me. It's a shame that one station can just decide when an artist isn't relevant to youth anymore.

It's not just that; it's clear that urban music is the focus genre being promoted to younger people these days. It seems to be the BBC's agenda. BBC Radio 1Xtra is huge now too. Artists like Kylie are the complete opposite of this.

15. Kylie - Dancing

34. Kylie - Dancing

Hasn't stopped the likes of Rita Ora and Dua Lipa smashing! There's plenty of non-urban music around in the charts that is just as relevant as Post Malone, Ramz, etc.

I don't think it really helped that it's been four years between Dancing and Into The Blue with only an Xmas album to help move sales

Really hope that Dancing can scrape a week inside the top 40!

If Matt flipping Terry can get so many weeks top 100 basically just off the back off of Hot Hits support I can only imagine what it could do for someone with a fanbase like Kylie if she got the same!

 

Number 1/top 10/20? Lorrrrd no. But a middling top 40 hit at least, with about 3/4 weeks top 40 at least.

also if we're gonna talk about ageism, that didn't stop eminem and he's in his mid-40's

But both of those are marketed to be 'hip' and 'cool' in an urban way, even though they're pop artists.

I still think it might be just a waiting game. Maybe people will see how well Kylie seems to be doing on iTunes and Spotify will reciprocate one way or another

The only way Kylie is going to get a top 40 hit out of this is if the fans all buy each remix singularly, on the same week, and try and stream each version as much as possible - thus fabricating the position. Outside of the fanbase, it just won't catch on.

Simply cannot see it if no one is streaming. Even if orginal and remix could get 20,000 a day it would help, but nothing

 

Shame as she did some promo with Spotify and Apple etc but not getting played. Silly Kylie fans would rather watch on YouTube etc rather than a simple sign up on Spotify and put on repeat with volume down for 30 mins lol.

 

Ant and Dec repeat at 1pm on itv1 tomorrow so she could hold a few sales again tomorrow and the 59p price will help .... The physicals are being released 6th April again a strange decision but helps to sell the album bundles so that's why....... She could have easily had a top 40 hit but again plan failed really. Anyhow album will sell ok

 

Illyus and Barrientos remix out on Friday 2nd and already had radio 1 play etc but you can't hear Kylie lol. Anton Powers mix out on 9th March also .... A radio 1 DJ surely will promote it. .... If we stream all four remixes on same week etc

He’s a white male...

 

Kylie ~10th combined

That’s all I was saying. We know she’s not going to do Post Malone numbers.

 

Also The Janelle Monae song really deserves to smash. I hope that gets Hot Hits support, because I could see it taking off big time!

He’s a white male...

His style/genre/image/everything is also still very relevant. There are 100 artists trying to be the next Eminem right now, but who's trying to be the next Kylie?

 

I seriously miss the days when pop was top lol

Yep like I said the song was on new Music Friday and got 77k streams on day one then got took off and nothing.

It’s been out for 5 weeks and hasn’t fallen outside the iTunes top 100 despite minimal radio support outside Radio 2. Other artists relying solely on Radio 2 support (Shania, Blondie, Manics, Texas etc) see their single charting briefly in the iTunes top 100 (if that) and then drop like a stone. The fan base would have bought it in week one. Clearly it’s appealing to *somebody* outside the fan base, and given a little more Radio and Spotify support could be a decent hit.

 

It’s also 13 and 34 on iTunes now.

'Make Me Feel' is really growing on me! I'm getting more and more into it. Also, Janelle deserves the hit so, SO much. Such a lovely woman :wub:

A lot of those would have been curiosity streams. It would have significantly decreased the next day even if it got added to Hot Hits UK.

 

I don't think Hot Hits support would do anything for 'Dancing' at this stage. There's 70 songs on Hot Hits now, so less impact for each especially those towards the bottom of the playlist, which Kylie would no doubt be if she did ever get added.

But it would still generate the streams it needs for top 40

You'll find the iTunes chart is more 'mature' than the Spotify chart in terms of the demographic using it; plus sales have dwindled so much that it's easier to sit in the top 100 these days. It's also much easier to shoot right up in a matter of hours. I think I'd compare Kylie as an act now to Steps last year: clearly there's an appetite for her, but she's a legacy act now. There's nothing she can do to appeal to the kids, unfortunately.
