I'm hoping SBIT is close to 150k now.

The streaming points are good for Kylie with Step Back in Time this week.

Those points are higher than most of her weeks I assume?

Great news…..wonder what has boosted her streaming, have some of her back catalogue been added to playlists?

Maybe CGYOOMH over New Year?

Isn’t that downweighted though or does that rule not apply to GHs albums?

She had plenty of songs on New Year Party lists.

She had Spotify 80s takeover with about 6 songs included too.

Something has def helped as these seem high for kylie

 

Yes that Spotify 80s list has over 2 million followers.

132 (RE) Step Back In Time

Sales: 634

Yesterday's sales: 96

Ranking yesterday: 177

Sales up by 27%

 

:w00t:

 

:cheer:

 

Streaming giving it the boost it deserves - this is how it should be weekly, a trickle seller like all the other GHs seem to manage

It’s definitely down to the Spotify ‘80s Hits - Kylie Minogue Takever’ Playlist, it has 2.3+ million listeners.

 

The following Kylie songs and positions on the playlist -

 

#3 The Loco-motion

#10 Hand On Your Heart

#24 I Should Be So Lucky

 

Its good that it has had an impact and those 3 songs are 3 big kylie hits so its good to see them having an affect in a positive on the album.

Locomotion is growing into a big streaming song for her, it’s being added to more and more playlists….it should really be on the All Out 80s and Better The Devil on the 90s one.

 

One can dream.

Glad the loco motion is growing more in streaming, i know its not a hugely popular kylie song here but ive always loved the loco motion so am happy to see it do well.

The 80s takeover playlist had i think 6 Kylie songs on it on New Years Eve, it was a longer list.

 

Can't remember the others.

I don't remember seeing any more than three and tbh I'm not sure those three songs have actually had much effect on its streaming.

 

Whenever we've received an update for 'Step Back in Time' (not received one since the end of 2020 though) it appeared to be selling 500-600 a week when out of the chart with 400-500 of them probably coming from streams. Its streams have probably remained more or less the same since then. Using the percentage increase, it had sold about 500 as of the previous Wednesday update and most of those will have been from streaming.

Based on those figures SBIT would be selling around 2k a month, taking into consideration some weeks may lower it leaves me thinking its total sales have to be over 150k as it had almost 132k when Disco was released. If that's correct this and Disco must be pretty much on the same sales. It's likely long term SBIT will sell more than Disco and golden on a weekly basis so this time next year it will be ahead of golden but still behind kylie Christmas.

If we say that Step Back in Time manages an average of 550 sales a week, then it would already be on 165,000+ (it was on 134k at the end of November 2020). That's assuming that its streaming always goes to that album and OCC don't do anything funny and have it count towards a different compilation she's released.

 

Fast forward to the end of 2022 and if Step Back in Time was still doing 550 a week on average, it would grow to 194,000.

 

That would put it way ahead of Kylie Christmas, which was on 153,000 in December 2020. I don't think it adds on much more than 4k - 5k per Christmas, so I could see it being on less than 158,000 at the moment and then maybe 163k at the end of December 2022.

 

Last we knew Golden was increasing by 5k a year, and I think it might currently be 5k ahead of Kylie Christmas' total - possibly 163k - so it could continue to stay ahead of Kylie Christmas for a while (unless Golden's weekly average sale is lower now... but last we knew Golden was on 158k in November 2020, so I'm sure it must still be ahead).

 

I think Disco might only be 5k behind Kylie Christmas now, so it's on course to overtake it during early 2022.

Thanks for doing the maths, Jay! Would be nice if 'Step Back in Time' could hold onto the Top 200 and we can find out its total sales to make sure, but I have a feeling it might have dropped out. :(

I hope it holds on and we get to find out! :cry:

 

So it seems that it could pass 200k sometime in 2023, which would make it her first 200k+ seller since The Abbey Road Sessions! It's funny to think back on that album... I guess a lot of fans would have found its sales to be a bit on the "meh" side, back then - whereas we would celebrate 200k now!

Thanks for the extra analysis. Streaming points should eventually mean SBIT will go platinum first out of all the post Aphrodite releases….though I wonder what TARS is on as it was at one point benefitting most from streaming.
