Really happy confide in me is out now. I appreciate its value to her career but as a song I skip it every time.

Tbf I did always used to be like that with Confide in Me. I think it was just too different for my pop tastes at the time but now I find it one of her most impressive songs. The performances on the US 2009 tour is stunning!
Confide In Me - This won on my last singles rate back in 2014, but could only manage the bottom of the top 10 this time round, a total shock and surprise, as well as showing how peoples opinions change over time. However this is still a true Kylie classic and should have at lease finished top 5 (how is 'GOMW' above this). This is something that will always be one of Kylie's most important career turning points and shows that she can do more than PWL pop which by this point had long fallen out of fashion.

Shame this couldn't manage to top the UK charts, that awful Wet Wet Wet song dominating everything back then and quickly became the most annoying thing ever. This piece of finely crafted music perfection should be more remembered by more people (apart from Kylie fans of course), and eveyrtime I play this to one of my friends, they instantly love it and are surprised to learn that its by none other than the fabulous Kylie Minogue.


Hopefully 'Get Outta My Way' will drop next or 'Your Disco Needs You'.
Get outta my way should have well out by now. As much as I'm not a fan of confide in me I was disappointed it didnt make number 1 and I also remember really wanting to like it but it never happened. Maybe one day the song will resonate with me but if it hasn't over the course of 25 odd years it's looking doubtful.

Confide in Me and Get Outta My Way are the weakest that made the Top 10.

That said, Confide In Me was a career influencing single that has helped shape Kylie.

Get Outta My Way is more a forgettable bop.

Get outta my way doesnt stand out, outside it's own fan base following but as much as I dont like confude in me uts far well known.

With Confide In Me, when people hear it they know its Kylie.

I don't think Get Outta My Way is the same.

 

From the remaining songs, i think the following songs people know its Kylie the minute they hear the song:

 

Better the Devil You Know

On A Night Like This

Love At First Sight

All the Lovers

Confide In Me

 

I would like to say the same for What Do I Have To Do but i don't think it is as well known.

 

 

I feel like 'Get Outta My Way' is a really well known song when I hear it in gay bars (which these days is the only place I'm likely to hear just about any of these songs outside of my own listening pleasure anyway).

 

Plus I do know several people who probably aren't fantatics like we are (but still like her casually), who actually consider it their favourite song of hers.

 

*edit, and it's proven to be one of her most popular on Spotify and has since crossed over 100,000 sales since its release. So I don't think your theory is 100% accurate.

So let's dance through all our fears
War is over for a bit




09. Your Disco Needs You // 8.68 (3: Jade; 5: Nick F1 // 11: Monzo; 10: SamJudd, Red Blooded Man, Regina, Liam, Qween, davidas, Michael Andrew, Davidson, liamk97, Hide&Seek)

The biggest miscarriage of justice in Kylie history was the decision not to give 'Your Disco Needs You' a worldwide release. A huge fan favourite, the song beats Village People with a big glittery stick with its military-esque chanting and stomping, glittery beats. It's a monumental call to the dance floor that's impossible to deny; the final chorus, complete with its exploding key change and impressive operatic vocal, is glorious and Kylie smashes it out of the park every time she performs it live. Despite only a proper single in Germany and receiving a limited release in Australia, 'Your Disco Needs You' still charted in the UK Top 200 on the strength of imports and has been revealed to be her best selling album track. So much for being "too camp".

It is a great song and highly popular when performed on tour.

I did not know Your Disco Needs You is her biggest selling album track.

Do we know her Top 10 for best selling album tracks?

I was one of the few who was happy this wasn't released, its ok but I never really thought it was that great
I love the song but think it was a good decision that it wasnt a single.

Yeah, confirmed by the OCC last May: "Kylie's biggest selling album track is the infamous Your Disco Needs You, which finished 52nd in her all-time chart."

 

I've had a look on Spotify and selected the album tracks that have had the most listens. As you can see, recency as worked in the advantage of a lot of song here. Who knows how many of these worldwide streams are from the UK though.

Shame so many of her older album tracks aren't ranking higher. With kylie she has so many brilliant album tracks and b sides.
It's a shame that a good few of her Christmas covers are among her highest streams as they are far from her best songs.
Definitely,from the strong back catalogue Kylie has, her original work ideally would be out-streaming the Christmas covers.

It is not part of her best work but it has managed strong streaming numbers.
