Whilst that's true, I kind of think it was a different climate in 2015 in terms of multi-formatting not really being a thing to the degree it is now and sales/competition being a lot higher in a healthier market.

By 2016 I know I was a bit like "sigh, not another round of the Christmas album. Get on with new music already!"

I like to imagine it having gone Top 10 if she’d not chosen to launch it off the back of Only You with James Corden 🫣 but we’ll never know!

Definitely different times though, remembering a couple of years earlier Leona’s Christmas album charted at #13 despite One More Sleep actually becoming a big hit.

Could she be added to a Black Friday Flash sale on various variants ? we also have album downloads to add which can be an extra £1k

HMV have an exclusive CD + Postcard

That track is utterly horrendous, also the thing of trying to promote several different songs at once.

Should've just gone all in on 'Christmas Isn't Christmas Till You Get Here'!

If it does go number 1 or top 10 for that matter it will definitely have the onus one of her strangest chart runs.

This new lease of life will also definitely help it on its road to becoming another platinum album for her which is great although i would say Golden, Disco, Tension and Tension II in terms of quality of music are far more worthy of that happening but i will still take it.

Its great that we will have a very active Kylie Christmas this year which i really wasnt expecting at all so its a great surprise and will add great excitment to the charts for me this year.

Would be nice to see it repeak if combined or a new high debut , it just bother me calling it fully wrapped when its essentially not the full package 😅

Its a strange release in a way with the route they are going with it but im not complaining and its nice to be getting the chance to buy some new Kylie releases for Christmas.

on Kworb many Kylie Xmas songs are in the UK itunes top 30 today and also in several other countries? Is that a mistake? maybe her xmas album reissue and Radio 2 appearance grabbed some downloads

I would like to think the announcement would have had some effect so thats probably why the x mas songs are appearing.

Im a bit slow on copping this but i see XMAS isnt on the album which i suppose makes sense but with Amazon exclusives are they allowed feature on albums after the release as it kind of leaves an opening for a deluxe version of Fully Wrapped to be released next year to include XMAS and maybe something else.

If that was to happen id love them to include the Royal Albert Hall Christmas show DVD, and as i mention that do you think its possible that Kylie could announce an Albert Royal Show again this year and surprise fans at the last minute or it too late?

XMAS is on the Amazon CD/Vinyl (and eventually streaming/download) versions of Kylie Christmas (Fully Wrapped). It's just not on non-Amazon versions.

My guess is that XMAS will at the very least be released as a standalone single on Spotify/Apple Music etc by November 2026, but who knows whether they'd re-release the album to include it everywhere.

Thanks for clarifying, i was just on golden discs when i posted ordering my cd and vinyl there and overlooked Amazon versions.

A preview of Hot in December!

That potentially sounds much better!

She ain't messing. 7th Dec she is at Capital FM Jinglebell ball.

Should get TV coverage and virtually bags a capital fm playlisting of XMAS

As a headliner no less!

Yep so that means 30 min performance??

I am sure it was televised the next day on ITV?

Album tracks all over Capital FM in Dec?

She will probably do another appearance on a chat show too or Strictly etc if she is in UK. And pop in radio studios with Amanda Holden etc and BBC etc

It's a Padam Padam winning formula

No wonder the album, single artwork is for a younger crowd. They knew the assignment

Strange the CD so low given it includes XMAS.

I thought that - I’m not convinced everyone knows that the Amazon CD is different to the rest.
