I bought the deluxe edition of it today. It dawned on me when I held it in my hands how there's bugger all incentive for someone like me to actually own it, aside from it being in pretty packaging and to keep up my collection. :lol:

 

Oh well, I'm still pleased to own it anyway.

Same for me for every single format - I don’t own a CD, Vinyl or Tape player and haven’t for years, all copies just for collection purposes and to support Kylie!

I bought the deluxe and the vinyl and may buy something else later.

Looking forward to seeing how Kylie does in Ireland as none of her GH seem to have been particularly big? (1992 GH didn’t chart?, 2004 Ultimate Kylie #8, 2012 Best Of #22) - I can’t find anything for the 92’ version but this could potentially be her highest charting hits collection.

It probably did chart, but Irish album chart information pre-2000 is quite hard to come by unfortunately!

‘Kiss Me Once’ seems to be u universally hated but I love it and still listen to it a lot now (I struggled with ITTB in the beginning but really like it now - such a shame it got missed off the GH), ‘Golden’ for me is such a strong album from start to finish - out of the two if definitely pick that one up.

 

Will have to give it a go, I think not being able to hear Kylie in the chorus of Dancing is the main reason I didn't get it. I must admit I didn't like the single with Jack Savoretti either. Will pick them up at some point and give them a listen though. :wub:

Kylies original greatest hits went number 1 in Ireland as I remember it going in at number 1 at the time.

Thanks - I guessed it had done pretty well even though I couldn’t find a chart position for it, would have been unheard of for it not to chart at the time!.

Kylie was huge here in Ireland in the pwl.days and had more number 1s here than in the uk.

So my bestie was watching Kylie's Glastonbury set with her boyfriend and she commented how she liked the colour pallet of her dancer's outfits. Her boyfriend bought her the mint vinyl while she was in the shower as it had the same aesthetic. So sweet and a welcome extra sale but I wonder how many more people watching had similar reactions.

Definitely brilliantly marketed.

It was sure to grab people attention as the none fans would forget about some of the huge catalogue of singles she has.

Officially #1 in the UK!

 

Congratulations to Kylie Minogue, who lands straight in at Number 1 on this week's Official Albums Chart with her greatest hits collection Step Back in Time: The Definitive Collection.

 

It means Kylie collects her seventh chart-topping album in the UK, following last year's Golden hitting the top spot in April. Last week she performed a selection of her biggest hits at Glastonbury in the coveted Sunday 'legends' slot. Watch Kylie get surprised by the news backstage:

 

Kylie joins the likes of Coldplay, Elton John, Barbra Streisand and Take That on seven Number 1 records, while the only female artist to have more is Madonna on 12.

 

Step Back in Time features all seven of her UK chart-topping singles and a further 23 Top 10 hits. The record also takes the top spot on this week's Official Vinyl Albums Chart and was the week's best-selling album on cassette

And the sale is...?

The OCC have updated the list of female soloist with most number ones. They now recognise A Star is Born as a #1 for Barbra and Lady Gaga, so Kylie is still tied for second place.

So happy she has another number 1 album and 2 back to back number 1 albums.

Music Week:

 

The obvious Glastonbury winner is Kylie Minogue, whose big TV ratings for her Sunday ‘legends’ slot ensured that her Step Back In Time collection (BMG/Rhino) opened at No.1 (31,980 sales). However, the sale was skewed towards physical (25,992 units, including 5,682 vinyl copies). The album had already registered strong sales ahead of her performance at Worthy Farm.

Five days after her emotional and triumphant performance on Glastonbury’s Pyramid stage, Kylie Minogue’s new compilation Step Back In Time: The Definitive Collection storms to a No.1 debut on the album chart.

 

A worthy winner after her performance at Worthy Farm, Minogue may not have excited as much social media attention as Stormzy and The Killers but BARB overnight audience ratings suggested that 3m tuned in to watch her – more than twice the figure for any other act – clearing the way for Step Back In Time to secure the 51-year-old Australian a No.1 album on consumption of 31,980 units (including 1,225 from sales-equivalent streams). Arriving a few days before the 31st anniversary of the release of her debut album, (Kylie), Step Back In Time contains 42 selections – 40 hit singles plus popular 2000 album cut Your Disco Needs You and new single New York City – and delivers Minogue’s seventh No.1 album. The only woman to have more: Madonna (12), although Barbra Streisand also has seven if we count the Streisand/Kristofferson soundtrack A Star Is Born.

 

Step Back In Time also debuts at No.1 on the vinyl and cassette album charts, with sales of 5,682 copies in the former format, and 2,047 in the latter format.

I'm happy, too. SBIT is new at 15 in Germany which is pretty good since New York City is kind of invisible over here.

 

Why is SBIT not listed on UK indie albums? Golden had a long run there.

Nice to have it officially confirmed, and crossing 30K too. :D

Parlophone is one of the labels responsible for Step Back in Time, so that’s why it’s not showing in the indie chart!

 

 

Congratulations Kylie :wub: So pleased for her! Now we just need her to get another #1 in the 2020s :cool:
