With some promotion Kylie Christmas could have achieved Top 75 last week.

For a low key release lacking promotion it did good to chart Top 100.

Billboard have ranked 'Kylie Christmas' as the 7th best Christmas album of the 21st century:

 

Though some fans might have expected 2015’s Kylie Christmas to innovate a well-worn genre by, say, injecting it with some EDM oomph, Kylie Minogue’s first Christmas collection smartly sticks to timeless, lovingly executed arrangements of secular holiday fare. “100 Degrees,” featuring sister Dannii Minogue, does nod to Kylie’s trademark disco style, but standards like “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and “Let It Snow” prove the chameleonic Aussie pop star is capable of adapting to just about any musical style. And the album’s original material holds its own alongside the yuletide classics, the standouts being the Chris Martin-penned “Every Day’s Like Christmas” and the tongue-in-cheek “Oh Santa.”

Praising the original material but not mentioning 'White December' or 'Christmas Isn't Christmas...' as highlights?! :drama:

 

Rest of the list is here: https://www.billboard.com/culture/lifestyle...entury-8546152/

Oh Santa is the WORST of the original material, but nice to see the album getting some love. It's second only to Wrapped in Red for top Christmas album for me.
It's probably one of my fave Christmas albums but that doesn't say much as I'm not a big of christmas album fan despite loving many christmas classics but I love most of the originals.

It’s the Most Wonderful Time and Winter Wonderland look like they’re having their best year yet, At Christmas and Santa Claus is Coming seems to be gaining well in line with recent years and of course Santa Baby piling up big number….maybe it’ll pass 200 million this year. Oh Santa seems to have lost much of its playlist support of the last two years.

Some of the gains are appalling :D

 

I know, a few hundred a day….worldwide.

Some of the gains are appalling :D

 

It’s not an album that’s been promoted since the Snow Queen edition so not sure people would be actively seeking it out or even realise Kylie has a Christmas album available - it’s not like she does a Mariah and plugs it each year.

The fact Kylie didnt exactly acknowledge the vinyl release of the album shows that she hasnt a huge interest in the project any more.
The digital and streaming age has kept the album alive though….it’s quite interesting to see how it fares each year on streaming and whether it’s enough to re enter the top 200…of course the vinyl repress has already made it happen 2022 but it has 5 tracks picking up much higher numbers on Spotify and if many of those are UK based then it could have a good chart effect. Plus there’s the other streaming sites…..
^^ It’s such a good Christmas album too and an easy listen even for people that are not particularly Kylie fans, love that there seems to be more interest in multiple songs this year aside from just SB.

It’s just a shame EDLC, CICTYGH & WD don’t seem to be on any major playlists. Baffling really.

 

Well in two days Santa Baby has added over 800k and ITMWTOTY just under 200k….relative to her Spotify catalogue only CGYOOMH can compete with its 200k plus per day. SCICTT probably not far off 100k per day too….just grateful any of her tracks have playlist support.

 

 

It's good that album picks up some interest every year and will do for some time, so in that way it was a good call to release a Christmas album.

I was in a hotel this morning and Santa Baby came on in the Breakfast Restaurant.

 

Then as I left my room to go to the gym Frank Sinatra & Kylie was on in the corridors

Santa Baby is the only christmas song i hear of Kylies on the radio here in Ireland, i would get a great surprise someday if they played another kylie Christmas song.
750,000 Spotify plays for SB and 150,000 for ITMWTOTY on Saturday….crazy numbers.
