I feel so proud right now for Kylie. Us fans have always seen her appeal but there's something so rewarding about seeing the general public realise their love for Kylie again.

 

Maybe getting a bit carried away but I hope she gets some sort of award at the BRIT Awards next year, like the Lifetime Achievement thing where she gets to perform a medley. That could really increase the momentum towards a new studio album, hopefully next year!

 

 

I still cannot believe they gave one to Pink before giving one to Kylie or Madonna... :huh:

I'm cautiously optimistic for a 10,000+ second week... we'll see!

 

After the green vinyl price kept changing on Amazon from £24.99 to £18.18 and back again, it's now exactly £20.

 

Agree with this - it’s not going to be the kind of album that does a 1-9-27-56-out kind of performance. It’s still doing incredibly well on iTunes and Amazon and has high visibility (either placed at #1 or #2 in all the supermarkets this week and Sainsbury’s are stocking the vinyl).

I kind of understand Pink getting it over those two as she is seen as more successful currently and relevant? With Kylie’s raised profile. #1 albums and Glastonbury hopefully they will think the time is right now!

Number of cassettes left:

99+ Clear, Green & White

94 Pink

81 Gold

 

So there's a minimum of 472 copies left.

 

The cassettes have been a success then - it’s probable that they produced 1,000 of each colour so to be under 100 left for some of them for an obsolete format is amazing.

I think they probably produced a batch of 4000 and did 600 of each colour and kept 1000 back to add if needed to boost sales with a signed copy?

I think the signed cassettes were a one off - it’s not something Kylie usually does and also they released them in the first week for Golden, if they were going to do it with SBIT pretty sure it would have happened.

 

I think they know they don’t need to do signed versions - with or without them Kylie would have been comfortably #1 with Golden and she got to #1 again with ease without them for SBIT.

There are some Prime day deals 15 and 16 July so I expect the CD to be reduced as an offer to boost week 3 sales

Was thinking the same - I’m sure Golden was available for £6.99 during the Prime deals then.

Yep it's an easy way to just keep the sales going.

 

Wonder what else she has up her sleeve....

 

You would think they will want to keep the band wagon rolling while they can

I'm sure they have a few things up their sleeves to keep sales going.

I think it's completely obvious that P!nk's record label bought that award for her.

 

But being more successful and relevant at the current time shouldn't really have any bearing on a lifetime achievement award.

There are dozens of acts who DESERVE the lifetime achievement award so it's most likely for sale these days and whoever is willing to "buy" it, will get it.

 

List of acts who haven't got it include: Kylie, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Dido, Sade, Alison Moyet, Coldplay, The Cure, Roxy Music, Radiohead...

There are many who deserve it and kylie is 100% one of them and i thought this year would be her year with her celebrating 30 years in the industry and having one of her most successful releases in a while. I do think she will get it but when is anyone's guess.

Now it has been opened up to international acts who have contributed to the British charts there is a whole host of people who deserve it! Coldplay will definitely get one at some point they are a British act who have been huge!

Lifetime achievement isn’t an award for he current acts though that’s what there rest of the ceremony is for. It’s about celebrating those who have contributed in a huge way to the British charts. I can’t believe Pink was the first non-British person to win the award over the likes of Madonna, Kylie, Cher, Michael Jackson, Prince... acts who have contributed a lot more! Not to say Pink doesn’t deserve it though she has a 20 year history on the British charts and has some amazing, just surprising she would come before all the others

I don’t disagree with what the award SHOULD be for however Brits is a brand geared towards TV viewing figures, media coverage etc., and Pink would be a lot more desirable to them wether that’s the correct decision or not against someone like Alison Moyet and others mentioned. I think now Kylie has had another rise to the top they might be more inclined to award her.

Madonna is an obvious recipient now that it's international as she is basically the biggest pop star alive (I consider Macca's legacy separate to The Beatles). Whether she's willing to "buy" it or not, remains to be seen.

Pink was deserving of her award as were the other acts in previous years.

That said, Kylie like others is truly deserving of the award also.

Kylie is #3 in the mids with 5,415, she's projected to climb back to #2 though.
