Yep I’m not here for another recycled GH tbh - they need to go all out if they are going to bother doing one.

 

That's what I am saying, all the singles and b-sides, unreleased tracks, the sidetrack tour that she did in 2012, all the videos, plus a couple of new songs.

Golden is #148 in today's update.

Golden managed 33 on the end of year chart for 2018 albums. Brilliant result for Kylie in age of downloads and streaming this is fabulous.

That's her highest end of year position since Fever when it placed #15 in 2002 (was #10 in 2001). Kiss Me Once only made it to #93 in 2014.

 

In 2010, #33 on the Year End Chart sold over 330k. In 2014, it sold over 180k.

I wonder how many more weeks Golden will manage before having a week outside of the Top 200? Glad that it's set to hold on this week! It'll be its 39th week in the chart.

To be fair though, it’s had near a whole year to do it, the other albums were released in he last quarter

KMO was released earlier in the year than Golden, no? And I thought Aphrodite was around July?

KMO has had plenty of time to build sales which it hasn't managed.

It is a forgotten Kylie album.

It managed 86,000 as of early 2018, not amazing but hardly horrendous... and the fact it made the Top 100 best selling albums of 2014 is nothing to sniff at either.

 

And for a supposedly forgotten album, a lot of you are quick to remember it when the opportunity arises to be disparaging x

They (as in Body Language and X, which were the only studio album released in the last quarter) had the advantage of high Christmas sales though which balances it out a bit.

 

I should have clarified that Golden gives Kylie her highest placed studio album on the Year End Chart; Ultimate Kylie placed at #22 in 2004.

 

Here's the list of all her albums that have made the Year End Charts as well as the positions they placed:

 

Kylie: #1 (1988); #38 (1989)

Enjoy Yourself: #6 (1989); #70 (1990)

Rhythm of Love: #65 (1990)

Greatest Hits: #69 (1992)

Kylie Minogue: #95 (1994)

Greatest Hits 87-92: #73 (2002)

Body Language: #63 (2003); #166 (2004)

Ultimate Kylie: #22 (2004); #86 (2005)

X: #51 (2007); #100 (2008)

Aphrodite: #45 (2010)

The Abbey Road Sessions: #57 (2012)

Golden is #148 in today's update.

Sales of prob 800-1000 for this week at most.

1,002 sold as of the Thursday mids, so maybe 1,200+

That's great for the position and for it still to be selling 1000 plus almost 8 months after release and also no promo.

Has Golden passed 140K?

I get what you’re saying and while golden as certainly done well I just don’t think people can say it’s done better than Body Language and X in the UK ( as some fans on sayhey are saying), irrelevant of what time of the year they were released, certainly been a success though.

i keep forgetting Golden is in Australia in March so that is where the 18 month campaign finishes

Good list of year end chart details thanks Liam.

 

Relative to the market Golden has done at least as well as Aphrodite....X seems a bit bigger than both, it was released at a competitive time but hung around fairly well. BL was released when sales were higher but didn’t have as much longevity, I’d put it’s relative success below Golden and Aphrodite. LY initially was a solid comeback but because of her Fever resurgence managed to sell well for two years (loads of catalogue albums started to be properly reduced in price in the early 2000s, it was when sales generally started to shrink due to file sharing) so it’s probably on a par with Golden and Aphrodite.

 

I was chatting to a mate the other day in his mid 20s....he’s never bought a physical record and couldn’t believe it when I told him standard CDs were mostly £12.99 plus until 1999 (recall Boots started selling new release CDs for £9.99, supermarkets quickly took this on).

Yeah I would probably put it lower than Aphrodite but higher than the Abbey Road Sessions

End of week chart. Thanks Stewie via Sayhey...could this be Golden’s last week?
