Buying it today to help her reach the top in the UK.

 

 

Listening to the lyrics more closely, it seems to be about yearning for a time when we're not all socially distanced.

Come on Ireland, thats her first Irish number 1 itunes in a very very very long time :cheer: :yahoo: :yahoo:

 

Dancing done well on itunes here but never went top 100 officially :o so I hope say something can manage it.

waiting to purchase tomorrow to help the chart position

Little Mix, 1D and Taylor Swift releases tomorrow, guess it was a good idea for Kylie to release today after all?

Why was it a good idea?

 

If she is an albums artist like they say then with a three month Pre Order what was the necessity of a Thursday release lol. Download it tomorrow and just stream it today, much better idea.

 

Maybe Radio 2 only had a Thursday slot available etc.

 

Anyhow I am sure when video comes out it will get a boost and remixes to download again

 

And in tomorrow's chart she will probably actually make the download top 75-100 lol

So that Kylie gets all the buzz and attention for herself instead of sharing it with much bigger acts.

I'll need to listen to it several more times, right now it sounds like a mess to me.

Extract from a review by MuuMuse:

 

Despite potential early expectations based on the album title alone, the song isn’t exactly a four-to-the-floor dance floor banger, like a “Spinning Around,” a “Get Outta My Way,” or a “Timebomb.” As opposed to going for more modern dance-pop a la Kiss Me Once, there’s a sort of glam-rock, ’80s electronic kick to the production, recalling Queen‘s “Radio Ga Ga” and possibly something her Scissor Sisters pals would do, strutting somewhere more towards X territory and matching the vibe of the campy, if polarizing Disco album cover.

 

From the very first millisecond – that atmospheric, angelic “oh-whoa-WHOA-whoa-whoa” liftoff, as that guitar suddenly cuts in, followed by those ever-so-Kylie breathy moans – “Say Something” quickly establishes itself within more familiar Minogue sonic territory, recalling bits and pieces of “Better Than Today,” “2 Hearts,” “Like a Drug,” “All the Lovers” and “I Believe in You.”

 

“We’re a million miles apart in a thousand ways,” she declares from the start – a (likely incidental) “Million Miles” reference, and a fitting, socially distanced wink from behind a glittery mask.

 

The most striking thing about Kylie’s lead single, aside from an obvious return musically, is the lyricism. This is an all too appropriate anthem for The Current State of Things; every lyric a yearning for those halcyon days of yore when getting close wasn’t such a taboo concept. It’s also a wish for the future, at a time when the world couldn’t feel more bleak. Basically, even without intending to make a statement, Kylie says a lot without directly saying…something. See what I did there?

 

“We all got wanderlust in the darkest place…”

 

Perhaps the most devastating line to hear while sitting inside in the middle of July with nowhere to go: “In another summer, we could find our way…” Kylie’s just dreaming the same dreams of an in-person reunion as the rest of us.

 

One of the more intriguing parts of “Say Something” is the chorus – or rather, the lack thereof. It’s a blink-and-you-miss-it moment and, at first, almost feels as though the song’s been cut short by mistake. After repeat listens, the unconventional break in song structure becomes barely noticeable – especially thanks to a soaring bridge: in the remaining minute, the floor of “Say Something” drops out as Kylie takes off, presumably flying KM Air, traveling light years into the heavens across soaring strings while repeating a most heartbreaking-yet-hopeful quarantine mantra.

 

“Love is love, it never ends / Can we all be as one again?”

 

With more singers suddenly in tow, the song gradually turns into a mini church service. Those final, euphoric cries of “Say something!” are an ecstatic, incredibly emotional way to finish, and will likely go down well in front of an audience loudly chanting it back to her in hazmat suits at the Disco Tour in 2029.

 

Of the pop songs that have either incidentally or intentionally referenced the pandemic released thus far, “Say Something” feels like one of the best, and certainly most unexpected, stabs at addressing the melancholy and hope within our “New Normal.”

Let's see. She could get lost in itunes tomorrow if all those acts release and move up while she may drop. And will she even be listened on New Music Friday now? Probably not so that's a lot of potential streams she could have done with....

 

Lets hope she gets added to some playlists and gets some cross over Itunes streams tomorrow.

 

I have a feeling as usual I will be a much bigger fan of single number 2 though I like that this effort is getting 90% positive reviews. The vide will probably make it and some Cerrone/Moroder remixes

I’m not blown away by the new song. It’s certainly not bad and her voice sounds good and it’s credible but I don’t think it’s as catchy as some of her iconic stuff.

And will she even be listened on New Music Friday now? Probably not so that's a lot of potential streams she could have done with....

She will be, they've included songs that have been released midweek before.

OK fingers crossed its top 10 in the list just to give it a few streams at least.

 

 

21st on USA Itunes chart.

 

Whats her highest peak in a US Itunes single chart? Must be close

 

Could someone please post her tiktok effort on here please?

I am very impressed, very disco funk rhythm.

It's charting very positively starting out.

Welcome back Kylie, a little bit of brightness in what is otherwise a very dull year.
