New official remix for New York pride :wub:

Surprising that so much of the early stuff (GTBC, Locomotion, JNSPP, HOYH etc.,) never made it onto the Now albums!.

Maybe Now didn't want too many Stock Aitken Waterman productions on their compilations during Kylie's early days? After Rick Astley, Bananarama, Donna Summer and Jason Donovan had left PWL, there were only some short-term hit acts (Sonia, Big Fun, Lonnie Gordon) around, so there was no more SAW competition for Kylie and she could be featured on Now more often.

I think this is a sign of NOW these days running out of options for songs they can include/get the rights to. :lol:

I think another explaination might be the fact that S/A/W had their own compilations as early as 1987 - I imagine they might've wanted to reserve Kylie's hits for pushing those instead of NOW! albums.

New york city is album only on now 103

592 on US Itunes :) must have had a play or 2 in a club :)

Album only or not i don't think it would have made much difference to the outcome.

Picking up a few sales from the NYC Pride video :P

NYC just has not connected with the general public and some of the fans too.

It would fall into my category as one of Kylie's weakest singles to date.

It's with where is the feeling for me and that's not a compliment!!

:lol: One of my favourites!

Some one in New York has played it :)

Kylie scores her sixth number one on the UK Upfront Club chart.

 

From Music Week:

Her core repertoire is pure pop - but more than 30 years into her career, appropriate mixes of tracks by Kylie Minogue still have enough clout to top the Upfront club chart.

 

That is the case this week, with new mixes of two tracks from her new Step Back in Time: The Definitive Collection compilation surging 7-1 upfront, while making a slightly less impressive 6-3 jump on the Commercial Pop club chart. Pairing Mousse T's mix of Step Back in Time with DJ Fresh's interpretation of New York City, it earns Minogue her sixth Upfront No. 1 of the decade, following the 2010 triumvirate All the Lovers, Get Outta My Way and Better Than Today, 2012 release Timebomb and 2018's Dancing.

Least it done well on some chart.

Dannii's shook. :arrr:

Don't know if anyone came across this but just stumbled upon this GLORIOUSLY 80's remix of NYC:

 

Sounds like it could've been part of the sessions for EY or ROL. :dance:

It's still a pretty weak song but that is the best version of it I heard. I still think it was terrible choice of song to promote the greatest hits as it's one of the weakest if not the weakest on the whole album.

I would also be of the belief it was a bad choice of single to market the collection.

I would refer to this decision as one of the bad ones made by BMG.

It's strange a left over track from a previous studio album recording session was used as a single, going that route they had so so much better to choose from.

I like NYC and the remixes just really odd marketing from BMG - they commissioned mixes for this and SBIT and then literally done nothing with them (Not even utilizing free social media posts to alert fans they were available).
