Another great song, probably one of more forgotten singles from the era but still a goodie.

I'd still love to know why it was decided not to release it here in Ireland as kylie was huge here then, it was a skipped release here and we didn't get a different release in its place.

While all my memories relating to kylie and her music was good i also remember the torture of trying to get her singles, it was tough between trying to save the little pocket money i had and also wondering if my local shop would have the single which in most kylie release they did apart from this one.

Wouldn't Change a Thing was different to most of her other singles up to this point.

Did it miss out on Number 1 by much and who held it off Number 1?

With "WCAT", Kylie became the first ever artist in UK charts to have her first 7 singles hit either #1 or #2. Amazing when you think of it!

It really was but it's a pitty some of them missed number 1 but its still a bloody amazing start to a music career.

Never Too Late broke that excellent top 2 streak so SAW may have been disappointed with it's Number 4 peak

I'm sure they were realistic that kind of streak can't last forever, plus #4 is hardly bad and I'm sure they were more than happy with the album's sales.

Think NTL also suffered a little from being released with the album. TOMP charted better mainly because back then January single sales were weaker plus it was helped by The Delinquents.

 

Given Kylie was achieving so much success at that point PWL were delighted, none of their other artists compared except Rick and Jason and they both had a much sharper decline.

I'd say they were more than happy with another top 5 coming from an album that had sold so well, never too late is a song I love plus it was a number 1 here in Ireland.

Another solid bop from Kylie, I think it was a good single but given the choice I may have swapped it out for ‘I’m Over Dreaming (Over You)’. This was a lovely moment on the Golden Tour though given it hadn’t been performed for years.

 

Odd that they didn’t apply for a Silver certification (250k back then) back then given it sold 300k+, especially when ‘Never Too Late’ was certified and it didn’t even sell all the copies that were shipped.

Wouldn't Change a Thing is one of many Kylie songs that she needs to revisit on her live performances.
I could sit all day talking about what a brilliant song this is. As is the parent album. Only love!

They got the singles completely right with this album.

 

To be fair massive 👏 to Kylie as she always seems to have chosen the singles so well!!!

The problem was the album had so much options for singles and the ones picked all did well but I'm over dreaming over you or enjoy yourself to me would have made killer singles.

I'm Over Dreaming Over You remains popular with fans and a song many would have selected as a single.

Wouldn't Change a Thing is often overlooked and forgotten as it was from the era when Kylie was having huge hit after huge hit.
