I kinda thought get outta my way would walk this and it is, not my pick at all but totally see why people love it.

Get outta my way ? Really ?

 

It’s ok but so overrated for me. I would much prefer Put yourself in my place or Finer Feelings, even What kind of fool which is underrated.

Good to see im not the only one that thinks its overrated.

I think into the blue was no9 initially in the midweeks but fell later in the week.

It was #7 in the first midweek update (Tuesday)! It was #7 on the Wednesday update, which I think was the day the top version was deleted.

Breathe.

I am actually gonna go with 'Into The Blue', not because it's my favourite but because of how that deletion from iTunes undoubtedly cost it a top 10 place and it was beaten by some absolute trash that week.

Into the Blue was screwed out of going Top 10.

The others lost out fair and square.

Not that it counted towards the official chart at this point, but I've had a look at the streaming chart around the time 'Into the Blue' was released. The week after it debuted at #12, it entered the streaming chart at #71, which was higher than three of the four new entries that debuted higher than it on the official chart the week previously:

 

Official Chart: w/e 22 March 2014

01 (NE) DVBBS & Borgeous feat. Tinie Tempah - Tsunami (Jump)

04 (NE) Enrique Iglesias feat. Pitbull - I'm a Freak

08 (NE) Flo Rida - How I Feel

09 (NE) Pixie Lott - Nasty

12 (NE) Kylie Minogue - Into the Blue

14 (NE) Christina Perri - Human

 

Streaming Chart: w/e 29 March 2014

50 (NE) Enrique Iglesias feat. Pitbull - I'm a Freak

71 (NE) Kylie Minogue - Into the Blue

79 (NE) Pixie Lott - Nasty

92 (NE) Christina Perri - Human

N/A DVBBS & Borgeous feat. Tinie Tempah - Tsunami (Jump)

N/A Flo Rida - How I Feel

 

Not that it would have been a Top 10 hit if streaming was included in the official chart (it would probably be much lower) but I just thought it was interesting Kylie was more popular on streaming than 3/4 of the new entries that were higher on sales.

 

Also pretty amazing to think Kylie once featured on the streaming chart outside of Christmas!

Sales for that week:

 

1 DVBBS & Borgeous/ Tinie Tempah 80,476

2 Route 94/ Jess Glynne 75,146 (195,916)

3 Pharrell Williams 45,130

4 Enrique Iglesias/ Pitbull 44,982

5 Clean Bandit/ Jess Glynne 39,125 (692,235)

6 John Legend 38,538

7 Katy Perry/ Juicy J 36,928

8 Flo Rida 36,741

9 Pixie Lott 30,812

10 Sam Smith 30,801 (242,195)

 

11 A Great Big World/ Christina Aguilera 26,126 (166,542)

12 Kylie Minogue 25,656

13 Tiësto 21,176 (89,809)

14 Christina Perri 20,812

15 Lily Allen 18,005 (48,998)

17 The Chainsmokers 17,506

18 Coldplay 15,929 (42,584)

 

So, she was a good 5,000 away from the top 10 but I still think that could have been overcome without that iTunes mistake.

 

 

Certainly would have been higher if she had any promo on release week.

The iTunes mistake would have taken it to the Top 10 had the error not occured.

We'll never know for sure... but she sold 83.29% of the #10 - would the iTunes error really have eaten into almost 1/5th of her sales potential? I'm sure she was definitely robbed of the arguably more frustrating #11, given that that was only 470 sales. Top 10 with a 5k+ deficit might have been a tall order though. I think there was an element of frontloaded-ness at play with Into the Blue too, even if the deletion hadn't happened.

 

Interesting to know she streamed relatively well though! Queen of streaming!

GOMW

Kylie's promotion for a lead single wasn't as strong for Into The Blue.

It's a shame it missed the top 10 as it was her last real chance of having another top 10.

It was that and a missed opportunity.

Overall, Kiss Me Once era underperformed.

I agree with the comments here that the iTunes deletion must have played a big role in the track losing T10 status by the end of the week. It’s a shame as it’s a great track that deserved to do better than it actually did!

Into The Blue

 

Great track

Kylie needs to add Into the Blue on her next tour.

It's tour exposure is low.
