May 1, 20205 yr Author I Should be So Lucky and Can't Get You Out of My Head deserve a placement in the 4 songs remaining. Big moments in Kylie's career. Yes especially as it’s Classic Pop and they tend to lean towards earlier Kylie material I think ISBSL will be Top 2 at least.
May 1, 20205 yr An interesting run down. I would think can’t get you out of my head, all the lovers, confide in me and lucky will be in the Top5. Possibly hand on your heart too.
May 1, 20205 yr Author #4 - opinions?! No.4 on the Kylie Minogue countdown is Slow. The compass was fixed on darker climes as Kylie immersed herself into some marvellously sexy – and marvellously morose – electronica for the pacemaker to 2003’s street-savvy Body Language. Flexing arpeggios revolve virtually uninterrupted as Kylie’s dual vocals – a falsetto tracking a whisper – do their damnedest to seduce us over some wickedly sparse accompaniment. Add some novel pool-side choreography and a sultry little Balenciaga number in the video, and the tease is complete. A return to UK No.1 beckoned, but quite how such a peculiar tune got there is anyone’s guess. #KylieDay
May 1, 20205 yr Her last number 1 single getting a place is understandable, not a top tenner for me but still a good song. Slow was so different from what made fever so big, it wasn't the follow up I was expecting at all and at first I was disappointed but I grew into the song, I still listen to it and love the live version from the body language show.
May 1, 20205 yr Slow has an appealing robotic sound mixed with an R n B vocal and the sound worked for Kylie. It isn't in my top tier Kylie songs but it remains enjoyable. The remaining songs could be not, what we expect.
May 1, 20205 yr Author And at #3.. Heading into the top 3, what are your thoughts so far? Third on the list of our favourite Kylie Minogue songs is Spinning Around. Not necessarily everybody’s favourite Kylie song – even her new label Parlophone didn’t hear a hit at first – this track brought the forlorn princess back into the public consciousness after an extended plateau. Co-written by Paula Abdul (for whom it was originally intended), the original demo was a down-tempo affair, so much so that producer Mike Spencer dubbed it “a different song”… but once it had been augmented with a classy disco design, and with eye-popping gold lamé hotpants in the video, Kylie was propelled back to No.1. #KylieDay
May 1, 20205 yr I'm not a huge fan of SA as a song but it was a career changer for kylie. I wonder are lucky and head the final 2 or knowing my luck one of the 2 remaining is confide in me.
May 1, 20205 yr It is no surprise to see a high placement for Spinning Around. Both the press and radio were all over the song, it remains popular, and the song ended a 10 year wait for Kylie to return to Number 1. Spinning Around is a historic single in Kylie's career.
May 1, 20205 yr Author I’m not a huge fan of Spinning Around but it done it’s job and got Kylie back into the public eye and to #1. It was exciting to see Kylie get success again - I still remember going in to Virgin Megastore on the day of release today buy all the formats :lol:
May 1, 20205 yr Author And at #2.... It's getting down to the wire, now! No.2 in our Kylie Minogue countdown is Can't Get You Out Of My Head. Not only was this a phenomenon that never seemed to get boring despite its ubiquity in clubs, shops, living rooms, car stereos and on TV, but it took Kylie somewhere new, somewhere undeniably hers – somewhere truly untouchable. Yet while this Rob Davis and Cathy Dennis-penned club classic is an iconic addition to the annals of pop, serendipity had an important part to play. Initially commissioned by music mogul Simon Fuller for teenyboppers S Club 7 (yes, really), who apparently passed, it also took Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s label to turn it down (gulp!), before it finally reached Kylie. It reportedly took her a mere 20 seconds to realise the track’s massive potential. “I couldn’t even fathom what I was hearing,” she said. “It just... did something. I was beside myself. Then at the end of the song, panic set in. I was saying ‘Are you sure we’ve got this song? Don’t tell me that we don’t! Is it secured? Can we have it?’ And we did!” Premiered on the On A Night Like This tour, the single went on to sell over a million copies, making it Kylie’s highest-selling contribution – and one of the best-selling singles of all time. And we still can’t get it our of our heads. #KylieDay
May 1, 20205 yr I have great memories of that week getting all my versions and been so nervous for the first midweeks, i remained nervous until Number 1 was confirmed as in the run into the relesae Girl Thing were the tip for Number 1 and not Kylie.
May 1, 20205 yr Author I remember the whole Girl Thing hype - it was almost guaranteed they would be #1 with so much backing and investment.
May 1, 20205 yr Will be interesting to see what is no1. Surely it’s between lucky, confide in me and all the lovers?
May 1, 20205 yr I remember the whole Girl Thing hype - it was almost guaranteed they would be #1 with so much backing and investment. Huge hype and money was involved but i did like one last standing but didnt buy it until week 2 as it was all about kylie for me on week 1.Cant get you out of my head has to be in with a shot of in the final 2.
May 1, 20205 yr Author And #1 is... Here it is, our very favourite Kylie Minogue song: Confide In Me. We'd love to hear your own favourites! As the opening gambit that closed out the PWL chapter for good and ushered in a new, more grown-up direction for her with deConstruction, Confide In Me certainly split Kylie’s audience when it crept onto the airwaves back in 1994. The track’s producers Brothers in Rhythm certainly utilised a diverse toolkit of raw materials in order to rustle up this utterly mesmeric new sound, marking yet another decisive lane-change for Ms Minogue. Driving strings arranged by Will Malone (famous for Massive Attack’s Unfinished Sympathy) that mirrored 1983’s eerie a capella sleeper hit It’s a Fine Day got it all going, before the beat – a loop taken from Jimmy Smith’s 1974 cover of Barry White’s I’m Gonna Love You Just A Little Bit More, Babe – provided a bed for an Eastern-influenced, siren-like melody and some cleverly ambiguous lyrics. Then there’s Kylie cast as call girl-commodity in the highly sexualised, equally ambiguous video, in which fluro-outfits, warpaint make-up and provocative pop art marked a clear indication that the puppet strings had been well and truly cut. Still, the angels wept bitter tears when Confide In Me was kept from the top of the chart by the vapid wedding fodder that was Whigfield’s Saturday Night – yet another silver medal for Kylie. #KylieDay

May 1, 20205 yr Confide in me number 1 ruined what was otherwise a good top 10, it would be something if it wasnt number 1 and even number 2.
