January 4, 20241 yr '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'. Justice for IWGC :cheer:
January 5, 20241 yr It pains me to see IWGC ahead of Fever and Got to be certain in that group posting.
January 5, 20241 yr Author 31-40 31 Slow Body Language 3 178 677 32 Better the Devil You Know Rhythm of Love 3 019 887 33 Vegas High Tension 2 851 615 34 Timebomb Other 2 789 508 35 I Believe in You Other 2 757 428 36 Wow X 2 634 078 37 One More Time Tension 2 472 190 38 Hands Tension 2 352 418 39 Miss a Thing DISCO 2 352 123 40 Chocolate Body Language 2 240 322 'Greatest Hits compilations leading tracks rising' section, with both 'Timebomb' and 'I Believe in You' rising and the former leapfrogging over the latter in the process. I am especially happy for 'Timebomb', as the release schedule and initial reception didn't do it justice. It is also the section with the two remaining 'Body Language' singles - 'Slow' and 'Chocolate', both slipping down, unlike their companion 'Red Blooded Woman' which managed to rise a bit. And we have three more 'Tenstion' tracks, 'Vegas High' leading the pack.
January 5, 20241 yr Author Albums update As in the whole countdown, the streams of 2023 are compared to the streams of the period from August 2020 till August 2022. Place 2023 Place 20-22 Album name Streams 1 2 Fever 188,225,082 2 N Tension 167,066,629 3 3 Kylie Christmas 54,402,190 4 1 DISCO 45,212,185 5 4 Light Years 25,005,774 6 5 Kylie 23,382,675 7 6 Aphrodite 16,505,930 8 7 X 11,387,846 9 9 Body Language 7,941,188 10 10 Rhythm of Love 5,357,974 11 8 Golden 5,262,734 12 11 Enjoy Yourself 4,241,615 13 12 Kiss Me Once 3,428,421 14 13 Kylie Minogue 2,169,823 15 14 Impossible Princess 1,674,156 16 15 Let's Get to It 728,589 Not many surprises here, with 'DISCO' and 'Golden' slipping further down. So 'Tension', unlike 'DISCO', only managed to debut at 2 and wasn't able to take over 'Fever'. And here's why... Albums ranged by change of the annual 2023 streams to average yearly streams of the period from 2020-2022 Album name Change 1 Fever 89% 2 Kylie 20% 3 Aphrodite 19% 4 Let's Get to It 11% 5 Light Years 10% 6 Enjoy Yourself 0,5% 7 X -1% 8 Body Language -2% 9 Kylie Christmas -3% 10 Impossible Princess -9% 11 Rhythm of Love -15% 12 Kylie Minogue -15% 13 Kiss Me Once -17% 14 Golden -36% 15 DISCO -56% As you can see here, we have a classic situation here of rich getting richer. 'Padamic' made a very uneven effect on Kylie's catalogue streams, with 'Fever' almost doubling its streams and getting most of the limelight. In fact, 9 of the 15 older albums lost in streaming, even if only just. Other 'signature' Kylie albums, like 'Kylie' and 'Aphrodite', as well as 'Light Years', received quite a significant boost. The only standout here is the poor brave 'Let's Get To It', which rose by 11%, but it is still extremely far to even out with 'Impossible Princess', which does 1.7m streams per year.
January 5, 20241 yr Would not have expected Chocolate to be top 40 but im happy for it as its one of the very few highlight from body language,. better the devil you know i always expect to be higher as myself included is loved by fans. With albums lets get to it really is the forgotten album.
January 6, 20241 yr Surprised that Chocolate is outperforming Dancing at this point! Timebomb outperforming far bigger hits is interesting to see too. I get the feeling that the public doesn’t really view Better the Devil You Know as a huge signature hit, not to the extent that the fanbase views it. Compare it being 32nd on Spotify to 3rd in the recent Radio 2 vote (which I feel mainly would have attracted the interest of fans).
January 6, 20241 yr Put Yourself In My Place is criminally low ! As is what do i have to do! Pleased red blooded woman went up!
January 6, 20241 yr That's true re BTDYK, for myself I have known and loved the song most of my life so part of me assumes it's the same for others but I have to say that from.people I know who aren't necessarily kylie fans do know the song but I guess it doesn't mean they all like it.
January 6, 20241 yr Author To me BTDYK is doing very decently, given - yes - it wasn't that huge of a hit for Kylie and it didn't break through to the USA (which is a huge market, so it helps some other Kylie songs that were received better there), and the fact that it is still a number 5 pre-Parlo Kylie song on this countdown. What is more surprising to me is how flat the 'Rhythm of Love' album tracks fare, they're kind of in the vein of 'Let's Get to It'!
January 6, 20241 yr Author 21-30 21 Especially for You Other - feature 6 020 810 23 162 940 22 I Should Be So Lucky Kylie 5 884 433 27 581 997 23 At Christmas Kylie Christmas 5 694 745 34 420 970 24 It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year Kylie Christmas 5 381 870 18 000 046 25 Supernova DISCO 5 254 391 16 225 594 26 On a Night like This Light Years 4 637 042 29 100 472 27 Say Something DISCO 4 320 217 40 034 926 28 In My Arms X 4 273 680 27 746 017 29 Come into My World Fever 3 782 294 22 361 252 30 Things We Do For Love Tension 3 320 704 3 320 704 Worth mentioning the 5 million threshold which was conquered by 25 Kylie songs in 2023! 'Especially for You' managed a very good year and even climbed a bit, overtaking 'I Should Be So Lucky', which fell off the top-20. I don't know whether the label was involved, but it looks like Spotify has totally reconsidered playlisting of Kylie Christmas songs, many of them going all over the place: some fall quite significantly, like 'At Christmas', and some gaining a LOT of traction like 'It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year'. Overall the Christmas tracks have lost in streaming compared to the previous period, but only by just a bit - probably due to the principal 'Santa Baby' being kicked off the major Christmas playlist. 'Things We Do for Love' is the biggest album track for 'Tension' so far, but 'Vegas High' might challenge it long-term. That if nothing else from the album is given a major push, which seems more likely with each month. :cry: WIth a big help of RuPaul, 'Supernova' is incredibly stable here, only slipping one place and even overtaking 'Say Something'. And some amazing classics are in this section - On a Night Like This, In My Arms and Come Into My World.
January 6, 20241 yr Author Now the next part might give quite a bit of pain to 'Impossible Princess' fans, because... Some singles and highlights outside of the top-100 101 Did It Again | Impossible Princess 103 Can't Stop Writing Songs About You | DISCO 104 Breathe | Impossible Princess 107 Shocked | Rhythm of Love 109 Sexercize | Kiss Me Once 113 Put Your Hands Up (If You Feel Love) | Aphrodite 115 Better Than Today | Aphrodite 118 All I See | X 125 Golden | Golden 127 Give Me Just a Little More Time | Let's Get to It 128 Some Kind of Bliss | Impossible Princess 131 GBI (German Bold Italic) | Other - feature 138 Giving You Up | Other 139 A Lifetime to Repair | Golden 142 If You Were with Me Now | Let's Get to It 154 Finer Feelings | Let's Get to It 163 What Kind of Fool? (Heard All That Before) | Other 192 Word Is Out | Let's Get to It 205 Where Is The Feeling | Kylie Minogue So yes, 'Did It Again' finished at 101 and 'Breathe' finished at 104, which is a big shame. But frankly both were slipping in streams, and it was very tough for those to fight against the 15 new entries, as well as some climbers from her imperial eras. Another thing that puzzles me is how 'Where is the Feeling' didn't even make the top-200, being below even 'Falling' and 'Surrender' - album tracks from KM94. I mean it is not her signature hit, but should do at least better than that?
January 6, 20241 yr Album tracks beating 'Where is the Feeling' really reinforces that should never have been released as a single!
January 7, 20241 yr Author 11-20 11 10 out of 10 Tension 10 492 711 12 A Second to Midnight DISCO 9 394 767 13 Where the Wild Roses Grow Other - feature 8 773 532 14 Hold On To Now Tension 7 773 117 15 Get Outta My Way Aphrodite 7 369 590 16 Magic DISCO 6 876 752 17 All the Lovers Aphrodite 6 765 640 18 Real Groove DISCO 6 365 706 19 Chiggy Wiggy Other 6 343 542 20 Kids Light Years 6 048 876 And the two awards 'The biggest climber' with 'The most random resurgence' go to... Chiggy Wiggy! :magic: It gained almost 1.5 times more streams in 2023 alone than in its whole existence before. Frankly I don't know what exactly happened there, as I checked the playlist reach, and, while it grew through the year, it isn't anything spectacular. Neither did I notice any TikTok trend... yet here we are! 'Kids' is one of the main reasons I'm combining the songs versions, as its streams are split equally between the Robbie album and Kylie album. And now there's a XXV version for Robbie. The Robbie version gained some traction in the end of the year, so I expect it to climb again in 2024. '10 out of 10' was just a bit shy of doing the total magic of 10's, but it just fell short in the last minute. 'Hold On To Now' debuts at 14 and hopefully it holds well next year. 'Get Outta My Way' and 'All the Lovers' have switched places, and the former is about to overtake the overall streams of the latter too. 'Real Groove' also fell beyond 'Magic' but is still far above in combined streams, with three versions generating a lot of them - album version, Dua Lipa version and the Initial Talk mix. But the highest track from DISCO now is 'A Second to Midnight'. And finally, the Nick Cave collab 'Where the WIld Roses Grow' is going consistently strong, only slipping a place. ... 'Say Something', 'Magic' and 'Real Groove' all fell from the previous top-10, which means we have two new entries (easy to guess which) and one climber (that one is a bit trickier). All will be revealed tomorrow, while now I'll provide with some extra stats.
January 7, 20241 yr Author Honouring 'Chiggy Wiggy', let's see who else has gained the most and the least in 2023 to its total streams as of 1st of January of 2023. Top-25 gainers: Track short Album short Growth in 2023 to total of 31.12.2022 1 Chiggy Wiggy Other 144% 2 Slow / Love to Love You Baby Other 88% 3 Sometime Samurai Other - feature 76% 4 GBI (German Bold Italic) Other - feature 69% 5 Santa Claus Is Coming to Town Kylie Christmas 54% 6 Supernova DISCO 48% 7 Magic (Intro) - From the Infinite Disco Livestream DISCO 44% 8 It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year Kylie Christmas 43% 9 Baby Fever 42% 10 Turn It into Love Kylie 41% 11 Can't Get You out of My Head Fever 41% 12 A Second to Midnight DISCO 38% 13 Especially for You Other - feature 35% 14 Can't Get Blue Monday out of My Head Fever 35% 15 Light Years Light Years 34% 16 Love at First Sight Fever 34% 17 Everybody's Free (To Feel Good) Kylie Christmas 33% 18 Tears on My Pillow Enjoy Yourself 33% 19 Closer (Finer Feelings B-side) Let's Get to It 33% 20 In Your Eyes Fever 32% 21 Still Feels Like the First Time Other - feature 32% 22 If You Were with Me Now Let's Get to It 31% 23 Got to Be Certain Kylie 31% 24 Love at First Sight (88) Kylie 30% 25 Secrets Rhythm of Love 30% 26 Made of Glass Other 28% 27 The Loco-Motion Kylie 28% 28 Christmas Isn't Christmas 'Til You Get Here Kylie Christmas 28% 29 Look My Way Kylie 27% 30 I Should Be So Lucky Kylie 27% Both Towa Tei tracks are going well, probably still enjoying the low base effect, as well as the two 'Infinite Disco' tracks, but the 'Slow' mashup clearly has its own life at this point. But it is also worth mentioning the GBI grew from 154 to 131 in the overall ranking, so it's definitely picking up. 'If You Were With Me Now' also grew from 161 to 142 in overall ranking and helped boosting 'Let's Get To It' finally. Another interesting fact that both older duplicates with the same naming (Love At First Sight and Closer) are here. People probably searched the newer versions and got these instead. Another curious case is with 'Baby' where a troll fan said it was a 'Tension' leak, which generated quite an interest. :lol: And the fact that 'Can't Get You out of My Head' managed to be in this list says a lot how huge it was, as it already had by far the biggest amount of streams and managed to add almost a half of that in 2023 alone. Now to the most stale songs: 1 If You Don't Love Me Kylie Minogue 2% 2 The Other Boys Other - feature 2% 3 Beautiful Kiss Me Once 3% 4 This Wheel's on Fire Other 3% 5 Rollin' Golden 3% 6 Right Here, Right Now Other - feature 3% 7 If I Can't Have You (feat.

Some of them still managed to make it into the top-100 streamed songs overall though, due to high base. 'If You Don't Love Me' somehow leads the stale pack, but it looks like it got a boost from somewhere which didn't last long. It has an unusually high amount of streams overall with the acoustic version of it having 1.45 million streams. Averagely the older songs gained by 22% in 2023 to its streams tally as of 31.12.2022.
January 7, 20241 yr Author what is chiggy wiggy never heard of it ! It is from soundtrack to the Indian 'Blue' movie produced by A.R. Rahman in 2009! It also has quite a high-budget music video to it. 67D-u-wj2xo Edited January 7, 20241 yr by perrobueno
