Her eighth number one. That moves her ahead of Barbra Streisand who she previously shared second place with for female artists with the most number ones.

 

Just five more to beat Madonna...

Congratulations to Kylie Minogue, who claims this week’s Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart with her new collection DISCO, setting an incredible new Official Chart record in the process.

 

Kylie’s 15th studio album debuts at the top with 55,000 chart sales – the biggest opening week of 2020 so far. DISCO is the star’s eighth UK Number 1 album and Kylie’s biggest opening week in 10 years, since 2010’s Aphrodite.

 

This week's result means Kylie sets a new Official Chart record, becoming the first female artist to score a Number 1 on the UK’s Official Albums Chart in five consecutive decades - in the ‘80s, ‘90s, ‘00s, ‘10s and ‘20s. See where all of Kylie’s hit singles and albums have charted.

 

"Official Charts Company, thank you so much!" Kylie told OfficialCharts.com. "DISCO has entered the charts at Number 1! I don’t know what to say, I’m lost for words, thank you to everyone who has supported this album and this campaign, it means the world to me. I’m so touched that it’s made it’s way to your hearts. I love it!”

 

Kylie’s DISCO was the best-seller of the week both physically and on digital downloads, plus also claims one of the fastest-selling vinyl albums of the year, with 13,500 copies sold on wax.

 

An eighth Number 1 means Kylie also now surpasses the likes of Sir Elton John, Sir Cliff Richard and George Michael in the all-time league of acts with the most UK Number 1 albums.

She was just short, annoyingly. 5k ahead of Little Mix.

Great sales lead in the end.

I had thought it would be much closer at the time of their releases.

:cheer: :cheeseblock: :w00t: :dance: :wub:

 

I'm soooo pleased for her and for us!

 

- First female artist to have #1 albums in 5 consecutive decades

- Two studio #1 albums in a row, the first time she's achieved this since 1988/1989

- Technically 3 #1 albums in a row including Step Back in Time, although you'd have to disregard Golden Live, so maybe this doesn't count :kink:

- Highest first week album sales of the year

- The first album to sell 50,000+ pure copies in a week since Rod Stewart's album in December 2019

 

Legendary :heart:

Yessssss :wub: :yahoo: :w00t: :cheer:

 

I seen a chart spoiler on Twitter around mid day but I never know how accurate they are until they’re officially revealed.

 

What a brilliant week this has been for her! But she deserves it with this album.

 

Some legendary stats there too!

 

 

can't believe we actually did it!!!!! what a week its been :heart:

The statistics are legendary.

BMG had great faith in Disco when they stood by the release day and the strategy worked fantastically.
