From Music Week:

 

Capaldi’s return to the apex was facilitated by a 65.61% dip in consumption week-on-week of Step Back In Time: The Definitive Kylie Minogue, which drifts 1-2 (10,998 sales) on its second frame. It remains at No.1 on paid-for sales (9,956).

On sales only Kylie would still be sitting on top.

#2 in week two is great. I had a feeling she’d still be #1 on sales too.

 

She should stay top 5 this week too. Greatest Hits albums by artists on her level always sell so I think this will stay in the chart for absolutely ages and rebound anytime she ever does promo / a tour / releases new studio albums.

 

 

Not bad at all.

 

Hoping for around 5k sales in week 3 and maybe stay top 10. Pretty sure HMV and supermarkets biggest outlet of sales now so let's hope.

 

New York city been taken off radio 2 playlist but now she has gone for commercial radio and Magic fm is playing it as well as her album greatest hits. That must have been plan from the interviews

 

I would suspect they will reduce album on Amazon Prime for there sale day next week. Still got some big concerts to come in lytham, and Edinburgh also this week.

 

It won't fall out of the top 10!

Ideally, this is what will happen for Kylie.

Number 29 in Ireland suffering a disappointing 25 place drop there.

We should see more 2nd week performances soon.

If it sold 5k+ in week 3 it would be quite safely Top 10 anyway, it would be around #7.

 

It's not going to fall out of the Top 10 after a run of 1-2!

Very healthy paid for sales - I’m sure BMG are thrilled at the success of this as paid sales are where the £££ is at!

Not sure if anyone has posted but...

 

Track 33 on the new Now 103 CD out next week is......

 

Kylie Minogue - New York City

 

 

Didnt expect it to make a now album, it can do nothing but help the song.

Remaining #1 on the sales chart makes this Kylie's first album to spend more than one week on top since Fever!

 

Streams are holding up nicely, dropping from 1,225 to 1,042. Would be great if the album could add on ~1k to its weekly totals for a while.

 

Week-by-week sales:

 

11/07/2019 01 31,980 (+ 13 copies sold pre-release)

18/07/2019 02 10,998

 

Total: 42,991

 

Second week drops:

 

Aphrodite: 61.3%

The Abbey Road Sessions: 53.7%

Kiss Me Once: 56.1%

Golden: 72.3%

Step Back in Time: 65.6%

I can see Kylie clinging to 6 or 5 this week. And getting a couple more weeks top 10 before she exits it. But I imagine it'll spend a lot of weeks top 40.

Another week top 20 would be lovely.

I think this will be kept in print by BMG now and it will be the ‘go to’ album - I really can see this hanging around for ages and like you say responding to any kind of promo.

Love reading this kinda stuff. Fever accounts for a 5th of her weeks in the top 10.

Impressive stuff! :wub:

 

I’d really like to see Step Back in Time spend 5 or more weeks in the Top 10, to outdo the original Greatest Hits & to have her highest number of weeks in the Top 10 since Ultimate Kylie. Maybe that’ll be a tall order, but fingers crossed!

 

The drop in success she experienced from Enjoy Yourself to Rhythm of Love will always look quite sudden & startling, considering it was only a year’s gap! From a #1 spending 4 months Top 10, to a #9 spending just one week inside. That happened after the release of the Step Back in Time single. Almost 30 years later and Step Back in Time has some justice... now it’s not only the launch single for an album that indicated that Kylie was in commercial decline, it now has a #1 Greatest Hits named after it. :heart:

 

Fever to Body Language looks like a huge comedown too (and it was really, even though 400,000 for Body Language was hardly a terrible result).
