She's premiering 'At Christmas' on Radio 2 tomorrow morning at 8:15... is it going to be a "single" in the same way 'Every Day's Like Christmas' was last year?

World Premiere of At Christmas from 8.15 on Chris Evans Breakfast Show tomorrow......

 

Another midweek release from Kylie..... zzzzzzzzzz

 

may get some extra pre-orders though I suppose

 

Problem is there are so many big releases on 25th..... she may struggle....

Why can't she just do a Friday release? There's much more chance of charting. At Christmas will probably chart at 150 at most. High chances of not charting at all when it's a midweek release.

the track is awful - doesn't matter when she releases it, it wont do well

The new track is only ok and she is singing as if she suffers from sore throat, maybe she is experimenting with her vocal?

Releasing mid-week is just stupid, i really question decisions like these.

So she is on the final of French Danse Avec Les Stars on 16th December.

 

Looks like At Christmas very half hearted... only recorded a few weeks ago in her apartment in Australia....

 

Still hoping the boots advert can take off......

It's pretty terrible. Parts of the backing remind me of S Club 7's 'Reach'.

i am now pessimistic for this edition...... not much effort gone into it.... maybe it will just squeeze top 40 as the 2015 version will sell a few copies as cheap.....

 

she really should go for the Rozalla cover as a single and push it.......

After listening to the new single, I think it won't chart at all. Nowhere in the top 200. The album will be around 30-50.

The choice of single is wrong, she had much better choices to go with it. Not releasing Everybody's Free is yet another mistake, the approach of choosing singles and how they are released is going from bad to worse. Everybody's Free has the exposure of the Boots add, this combined with a tv performance would have provided Kylie with a much stronger chance of charting with a single and also attracting sales to the new edition of the album.

 

The Christmas album was handled very well but they fell down and have done the same again this year on getting the single release from the album correct.

I'm glad she isn't going with Everybody's Free purely based on the fact it sounds awful (based on the Boots) advert. The album sold very nicely last year based on having no hit single, Leona sold about the same of her Christmas album and has a BIG hit single to go along with it in the form of One More Sleep. I honestly think 120k (maybe 150/160k) by the end of this year is an excellent result for her given it's nearly double her last studio album.

At Christmas doing nothing at all and no songs playlisted for coming week on Radio 2.

 

I think we may see a song off the album pushed in a week or two .. the Everybody's Free is only 2 mins 10 seconds long and most of that instrumental so doubt it will be a hit either unless it gets a remix etc

 

 

The new song is very disappointing. Her voice sounds awful and the song just isn't anywhere near as strong as most of the tracks on last year's album. The track sounds very dated and like a left over. I really do think the re-release will struggle.

Received snow queen edition today from HMV. The Mika collaboration is ok but not keen on the East 17 cover. Overall, the new tracks aren't as strong as the songs from the first edition but nice to get a handful of new songs. Everybody's free is really nice but way too short in length.

love Stay Another Day

 

Love Everybodys Free

 

 

 

debuts at 165th on Uk ITunes on release - does not bode well at all ........

 

needs to have sold a lot of physicals on her website to have a chance of a top 40 next Friday

 

up to 91st now

 

and ...... the Royal Albert Hall concert has also been released on ITunes..........

 

well moved up to 13th ahead of quite a few of her rivals so thats better news..... lets see with lack of 2 CD, vinyl etc may suffer

I've just had a listen to all the new tracks, all is well except At Christmas, Everybody's Free (to feel good), and the duet with Mika.

The new songs are doing ok on ITunes all top 200 and Everybodys Free just breaking top 100..... looks like they are being cherry picked from the album instead of full album which isn't a bad thing

 

Royal Albert Hall been released on ITunes also - money making and nothing else.... should really have been part of new issue

Love 'Everybody's Free (To Feel Good), but it feels like half the song has been cut.

I feel we could see a Everybody's Free EP coming up with some remixes and radio edit.......

 

up to 89th on ITunes...... not bad seeing as Vaults from John Lewis Advert is down to 99th...

 

Stay Another Day also climbing nicely.....

 

Album slipping....
