10. Kids (with Robbie Williams)

Released: 2000

Official Singles Chart peak: Number 2

Total UK streams: 11 million

Won't someone think of the children? Kylie, ascendant on a post-Spinning Around high, teamed up with Britain's best pop bad boy for a raunchy anthem all about getting up to get down, as well Kylie's very valid flex that she's been dropping beats since back in black (that's AC/DC, not Amy Winehouse).

 

9. Better The Devil You Know

Released: 1990

Official Singles Chart peak: Number 2

Total UK streams: 12.1 million

One of the most important songs in Kylie's career, Better The Devil You Know was one of the last victory laps with Stock Aitken Waterman, and its vampy, campy music video full of fire and little black dresses (maybe her best video ever?) pushed Kylie further into a more mature sphere. Here's where the girl next door began to grow up.

 

8. The Loco-Motion

Released: 1987

Official Singles Chart peak: Number 2

Total UK streams: 12.4 million

Come on, you know the moves. Don't pretend you don't.

 

7. Say Something

Released: 2020

Official Singles Chart peak: Number 56

Total UK streams: 13 million

Say something, say anything. Kylie's plea for intimacy in a time of social disconnect became one of the bright lights of lockdown, and a mid-career highlight for our Disco queen.

 

6. All The Lovers

Released: 2010

Official Singles Chart peak: Number 3

Total UK streams: 15 million

Proving that no-one does a comeback quite like Kylie, she side-stepped some of the disappointment of X to return at full strength with All The Lovers, whose intense and passionate production courtesy of Stuart Price really makes you feel everything Kylie is preaching.

 

5. Dancing

Released: 2018

Official Singles Chart peak: Number 38

Total UK streams: 21.1 million

The lead track from Golden, Dancing represented another surprising left-of-centre turn for Kylie, trading in her gold hot pants for some Daisy Dukes as she went country. Well, not full country, Dancing is still classic Kylie, proving that whatever turns her career takes, she'll still have one eye on the dancefloor.

 

4. Spinning Around

Released: 2000

Official Singles Chart peak: Number 1

Total UK streams: 21.6 million

Quite simply one of the most inspired comeback tracks ever released, Kylie ended years in the pop wilderness with one of her strongest-ever statements. Originally recorded by Paula Abdul (!) for an album that never materialised, it was re-tooled by Kylie as her reintroduction to the dancefloor she had fled in Impossible Princess. And it was so nice to welcome to her home.

 

3. Love At First Sight

Released: 2002

Official Singles Chart peak: Number 2

Total UK streams: 22 million

One of many hits from Kylie's resurgent Fever record, Love At First Sight has proved to be a timeless record, a nu-disco classic that was serving Future Nostalgia long before dreams of pop stardom were even glinting in Dua Lipa's eye.

 

2. Can't Get You Out Of My Head

Released: 2001

Official Singles Chart peak: Number 1

Total UK streams: 57 million

Can't Get You Out Of My Head still (and probably always will) sounds like the future. A hypnotic synth-pop track, Kylie's defining song may have come nearly two decades into her career - and been pitched to everyone from S Club 7 to Sophie Ellis-Bextor - but no-one could have mastered this moment like her. Taking the sex appeal of her early years, to the fantastically outré flourishes of albums like Impossible Princess and sanding it down with an impossibly shiny pop sheen, Can't Get You Out Of My Head has endured as one of the most memorable pop hooks of the 21st century.

 

1. Santa Baby

Released: 2000

Official Singles Chart peak: Number 31

Total UK streams: 74 million

Damn you Christmas! Originally released as a B-side in 2000, Kylie's camp take on the Eartha Kitt festive classic was repackaged for her (more successful than you may believe) Kylie Christmas record, and as much benefits massively from year-on-year streams everytime winter rolls around.

 

No, we can't believe this beat Get Outta My Way either.

The other error in the article is ‘All The Lovers’ being released in 2020 when it was out in 2010.

I wish this perpetual falsehood of 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' being offered to Sophie Ellis-Bextor could just die off already.

 

'Dancing' really has been pretty much a smash for her in the modern era.

Hot in the City is by far my favourite Kylie track here :music: I'm so glad to see it make the list!!

Agree, hasn’t Sophie pretty much said she never had it?

Not in the City more like ha ha.

 

Interesting seeing this UK only list across all the platforms. Explains why Dancing went silver.

 

PWL tracks wee only properly added end of 2016 (some had a brief time on streaming when The Best of KM was released in 2012) too so they’re making great gains. BTDYK is nowhere near as popular over on Spotify so it’s great to see it top ten.

She's refuted it so many times, she's even told me it's not true! I think at this point it's just so entrenched in folklore and accepted as a truth that it's never going away :lol:

I wondered whether Hot In The City, rather than being New York City, was actually Got To Be Certain.
How is Magic only one above Musics Too Sad? The total streams for Magic are over 40m and Musics Too Sad less than a fifth of that.

Because at the time, Jack Savoretti was big in the UK whereas Kylie had fan bases globally.

As much as I enjoy 'Santa Baby' I'm just going to pretend it's not in that list. Which means 'On A Night Like This' is top 10, woohoo!!! Seriously though, what a massively iconic collection of songs :wub: (oh, and 'Supernova'... :unsure:) I've got way too many faves to name any.
