Posted January 2, 20241 yr To celebrate the biggest streaming year for Kylie I am holding this small countdown. I parsed the total streams for Kylie's songs on 1st January of last year and of this year, so we can see how the different Kylie tracks evolved during this year. Overall Kylie had an increase by 614 million streams of what I was tracking. Compared to 2 billion streams that she had a year before, the streams for Kylie on Spotify increased by a third! Rules for the countdown are as follows: 1. The streams were counted from 1st of January of 2023 till 31st of December of 2023. 2. The "chart rules" are applied, as in all of the remixes and different versions, including live versions, are combined into one. 3. However, for the mashups that give a different name to the song (i.e. Extension 'Can't Get Blue Monday out of My Head' and some live versions like 'Slow / Being Boiled') the streams are counted separately. Versions of songs in different languages count together. 4. Generally I didn't include the songs which are under 1 minute long (those are some intros and reprises from the live versions) 5. For the 'previous position' section I used the positions ranged by the amount of streams gained from August of 2020 till August of 2022, since I didn't have the data for the whole years before. I also don't have the data for the 2020 streams for a couple of songs (mainly her less known features), so for those the streams and therefore the chart positions were estimated. But nevertheless, this could give a good idea of the dynamics of the songs throughout the recent years. I am also willing to give some extra stats which I found interesting, so I hope this will be a nice read for you! Edited January 7Jan 7 by BOOBA GRANDE
January 2, 20241 yr Author 91-100 91 Right Here, Right Now 92 Oh Santa 93 The Other Boys 94 Aphrodite 95 Let It Snow 96 Like a Drug 97 Only You (with James Corden) 98 Put Yourself in My Place 99 Fine Wine 100 Please Stay Bit of a deadwood section here, however we need to note 'Let It Snow', which increased in its position despite 15 new tracks being above it, as well as 'Aphrodite' title track holding steady (and also being one of the few examples of album tracks before 'DISCO' era and outside the festive songs being present in this countdown, along with 'Like a Drug').

January 2, 20241 yr Author 81-90 81 Celebration 82 Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi 83 What Do I Have to Do? 84 Limpio 85 Every Day's Like Christmas 86 Music's Too Sad Without You 87 Beautiful 88 Celebrate You 89 What You Waiting For 90 Marry The Night Another section of many big free-fallers which will probably leave the top-100 next year. 'Je Ne Sais Pas Pourqoui' however had a healthy year and gained a bit compared to the previously observed period. Edited January 2, 20241 yr by perrobueno
January 2, 20241 yr Love This can i be greedy and ask for the total streams for each song for the year?
January 2, 20241 yr Music's too sad without you, like a drug and what do I have to do are huge faves of mine and too low but least they are in the top 100. I really like fine wine aswell but didn't expect it to be top 100.
January 2, 20241 yr Author Love This can i be greedy and ask for the total streams for each song for the year? Thank you :D I'm posting those in the images, do they load? And I'll post a full list in text once I finish the countdown.
January 2, 20241 yr Author Music's too sad without you, like a drug and what do I have to do are huge faves of mine and too low but least they are in the top 100. I really like fine wine aswell but didn't expect it to be top 100. I'm a fan of all of these, and 'Music's Too Sad...' is almost the sole representative of the 'Golden' era here, so it stood the test of time. :D
January 2, 20241 yr Music's Too Sad while never charted has done fairly well on picking up sales, id love to know what its sales totals are now and I'm pleasantly surprised its the sole representative on the list from the golden era as if i was putting a bet on i would have thought dancing or stop me from falling would be higher.
January 3, 20241 yr Thank you :D I'm posting those in the images, do they load? And I'll post a full list in text once I finish the countdown. Yes they do now. Thanks!

Almost the sole representation, not the sole representation! Dancing and Stop Me From Falling are bound to be higher. Thanks for working on this perrobueno, I look forward to the rest! Please Stay and Put Yourself in My Place deserve more. :(
January 3, 20241 yr Ah love all this data! Thanks for posting - looking forward to the further updates.
January 3, 20241 yr Author I'm putting the yearly figures for the songs in case the pics don't load 71-80 71 Starstruck Other - feature 814 275 72 Last Chance DISCO 784 959 73 Monday Blues DISCO 775 688 74 Turn It into Love Kylie 733 064 75 Light Years Light Years 711 360 76 Into the Blue Kiss Me Once 621 939 77 More More More Fever 613 593 78 Winter Wonderland Kylie Christmas 607 368 79 Never Too Late Enjoy Yourself 575 220 80 Wouldn't Change a Thing Enjoy Yourself 572 342 In this section we have more climbers, like 'More More More' - which paced up quite nicely. Probably had the big boost due to it being the first track of Kylie's most popular album during her resurgence. Title tracks for the albums generally somehow have the advantage, as we can see several times throughout the countdown (maybe the casual listeners are checking them out more frequently?), but with 'Light Years' the extra push came from 'Infinite Disco', where it is one of the most listened to tracks. What I can't explain is the rise of 'Turn It Into Love' which even overtook the single 'Je Ne Sais Pas Pourqoui'! But here it is. And finally, we have the two singles from 'Enjoy Yourself' with almost identical streams, placing at numbers 79 and 80.
January 3, 20241 yr Author 61-70 61 Step Back in Time Rhythm of Love 1 203 553 62 Your Disco Needs You Light Years 1 147 387 63 Where Does the DJ Go? DISCO 1 112 896 64 Voices Other - feature 1 057 570 65 Dance Floor Darling DISCO 1 022 219 66 I Was Gonna Cancel Kiss Me Once 986 564 67 Got to Be Certain Kylie 928 362 68 Fever Fever 909 822 69 2 Hearts X 905 847 70 Devotion Other - feature 836 734 Now we go to the big figures, with 65 songs cumulatively making it to more than 1 million streams in 2023. Kylie finally starts to get on streaming what she always deserved. The first new entry, slightly overshadowed 'Voices' collab with Jake Shears, has managed to nip over 1 millions streams in the end, and is sandwiched at 64 between the two 'DISCO' album tracks, which both still managed to gain over 1 million streams on their 4th calendar year of release. Maybe 'DISCO' didn't produce its signature hit, like 'Tension' and to a lesser extent 'Golden', but as a body of work it got a big boost to Kylie's streaming numbers. 'Devotion' is one of the tracks I had to estimate its 2020 streams, so I am not entirely sure whether its rise is genuine, but nevertheless it shows a great staying power. 'I Was Gonna Cancel' is not a single which is loved a lot by the fanbase, but in the 2023's streaming it became the highest track from 'Kiss Me Once' by the amount of Spotify streams. I have a soft spot for this song, but it is a shame that it started to overshadow a much superior 'Into the Blue'.
January 3, 20241 yr Turn it into love considering how old it is and also it wasn't a single in most countries. I was gona cancel well it just shouldn't be there let alone that high.
January 3, 20241 yr Poor Into the Blue, it’s declined fast since it started out well. IWGC definitely benefited long term following its use on RuPaul years ago. The PWL hits were added later to streaming and I think many of the tracks took a while to gain traction…Turn it into Love one of them, as is SBIT. Edited January 3, 20241 yr by aeroco
January 3, 20241 yr For some reason I thought your disco needs you might have made the top 50 but again for a almost a non single its doing well. 2 hearts doing OK considering its not a big fan fave.
January 4, 20241 yr Author 51-60 51 Hand on Your Heart Enjoy Yourself 1 489 593 52 Somebody To Love Tension 1 485 786 53 Confide in Me Kylie Minogue 1 361 626 54 Love Train Tension 1 346 391 55 Tears on My Pillow Enjoy Yourself 1 285 883 56 Christmas Wrapping (with Iggy Pop) Kylie Christmas 1 273 830 57 Stop Me from Falling Golden 1 267 259 58 Just Imagine Tension 1 265 254 59 Kiss of Life DISCO 1 264 050 60 Slow / Love to Love You Baby DISCO 1 224 041 In this section the first 'Tension' tracks start to appear - specifically the bonus tracks, with the closing 'Somebody to Love' being the highest of this batch. 'Slow / Love to Love You Baby' got a life on its own after being featured in 'Infinite Disco' and had a very good year overall. 'Christmas Wrapping' managed to climb a bit, as well as 'Tears on My Pillow'. 'Tears on My Pillow' got a better fate than 'Hand on Your Heart', which fell a bit but still stayed the highest track from 'Enjoy Yourself' on Spotify Streaming and now making it over 10 million streams across all versions (main version is still on 8.5 million streams though). 'Confide in Me' is the highest Kylie song from all of the DeConstruction era. Deserved to be the highest, but deserves so much higher in the overall list. Edited January 4, 20241 yr by perrobueno
January 4, 20241 yr Author 41-50 41 Can't Get Blue Monday out of My Head Fever 2 169 429 42 Dancing Golden 2 120 831 43 Really don't like u Other - feature 2 031 775 44 The One X 2 005 182 45 You Still Get Me High Tension 1 950 275 46 Green Light Tension 1 907 600 47 I Love It DISCO 1 848 165 48 Red Blooded Woman Body Language 1 814 439 49 Story Tension 1 795 884 50 Christmas Isn't Christmas 'Til You Get Here Kylie Christmas 1 750 812 As a sign of how big the certain song was this year, 'Can't Get Blue Monday out of My Head' almost made it to the top-40 of the Kylie songs reaching over 2 million streams. Three more 'Tension' tracks fall off here, that didn't get us that high, but nevertheless almost 2 million streams in just over three months is nothing to be ashamed of. We lose 'Dancing' here which got into a bit of a slump. Hopefully it stabilises at some point. Like did 'The One' by only losing one spot despite 8 new entries above it. Or 'Red Blooded Woman' which even rose one place with 10 new entries above it. And there is another Christmas song rising, making the overall movement very hectic compared to the previous periods.
January 4, 20241 yr I have always loved cant get blue monday out of my head its a great version and i will forever love the Brit performance of it, dancing also doing well at number 42 and the one also holding up well at number 44 although i would have liked for all 3 to have been top 40.
