August 22, 20195 yr Bittersweet Goodbye is like a little break from all the up-tempo numbers on the glorious Light Years album, this is what makes the song stand out.
August 22, 20195 yr I put the 'Light Years' album through the preference revealer, just to see where 'Bittersweet Goodbye' would rank... and seems about right and I constantly swaps it with 'PS' in my rankings. Plus didn't realize I ranked 'UTIOL' so high. 1. On A Night Like This 2. Spinning Around 3. Your Disco Needs You 4. Disco Down 5. Butterfly 6. Light Years 7. Under The Influence of Love 8. Please Stay 9. Bittersweet Goodbye 10. So Now Goodbye 11. Kids (Ft Robbie Williams) 12. Loveboat 13. I'm So High 14. Password 15. Koocachoo
August 22, 20195 yr I am going try this with the preference revealer. I would understand the song coming low Top 10 on many peoples preferences but not the very bottom.
August 22, 20195 yr Using the preference revealer for Light Years my results are: Disco Down Under The Influence of Love Your Disco Needs You Bittersweet Goodbye Butterfly Light Years On A Night Like This Spinning Around So Now Goodbye Kids (Ft Robbie Williams) Please Stay I'm So High Loveboat Koocachoo Password
August 23, 20195 yr Author Glad you guys don't always agree with my picks. I just don't enjoy 'Bittersweet goodbye', even as a break on the album. It's just too sugary and whimpering in my opinion. Now it's really time to get to the next song. It should be here in a minute or 10 😇
August 23, 20195 yr Author #4 Better then today Another 'why did they release this as a single?' situation. There where much better options left on the album. And Nerina Pallot was involved? I had higher expectations to be honest. I find this song basic and even 'childish' at moments. Like a tune that your five year old nephew would enjoy. Your thoughts?

August 24, 20195 yr 'Better Than Today' - Actually don't find it that bad - as an album track, but had no business being a single especially over tracks like 'Aphrodite', 'Closer' & 'Cupid Boy', or even 'Put Your Hands Up' (which became the 4th single), but even that would have made a better 3rd single choice. On the album itself It probably ranks in about the middle, just a fun and bouncy track. This will always be my 'Aphrodite' run of singles = "All The Lovers" "Get Outta My Way" "Aphrodite" "Cupid Boy" If a 5th somehow got chosen then my choices would have been either 'Put Your Hands Up' or 'Can't Beat The Feeling'.
August 24, 20195 yr I love put your hands up and would have preferred it as a single to get outta my way andcsane with cupid boy.
August 26, 20195 yr Better Than Today gets much hate that can be understandable. The hate only comes as it was a single, i call it relative hate. As an album track it would be a popular song.
August 27, 20195 yr Ya as an album track it would be liked way more.but kylie has far far worse songs than it to end up number 4 here.
August 27, 20195 yr Better Than Today is not one of Kylie's best singles but it remains a good song. There are many other songs down through the years and also from later years worse than IT.
August 30, 20195 yr Author Thanks for your replies! And this is not a hate chart btw, just some Kylie songs that I don't enjoy (for certain reasons) 😉 Work was a bit hectic so this countdown will continue asap!
September 1, 20195 yr Author #3 Especially for you Maybe I should hide now..? Still, I just don't like this song. She did this as an encore at her Golden tour in Amsterdam. So much better options to choose from in my opinion. Maybe it's because I didn't grow up with this song but it's so chringy and cheesy. I never liked it and never will I'm afraid. Your thoughts?
September 1, 20195 yr I def wouldnt have this here, loved it when released as kylie and jason fever was at an all time high but over 30 years later i still enjoy it.
September 1, 20195 yr Actually like this one and will always have that nostalgia feeling towards it and like it or not this was Kylie's biggest selling UK single up until 'CGYOOMH' came along and this will always be a Kylie classic and yes its cheesy and corny as hell, but I LOVE IT and don't care who knows it..
September 2, 20195 yr It really is a classic among all her singles and as you mentioned is 1 of her 2 actual million sellers. I really loved her duet with Kermit the frog of the song on an audience with.
September 2, 20195 yr I can't stomach 'Especially For You' really, although I know that's quite an unpopular opinion. I have been known to use it as my toilet break song at her concerts. :lol: But I did strangely kinda enjoy the moment on Golden.
September 2, 20195 yr I much prefer especially for you when its done with a proper duet partner and I say the same for kids.
