I can move on to hammering that on streaming now that PP is across the line! 😂

That can't be far away, surely?

I've been waiting for it...

Amazing news!

It was certified Gold on 12 January 2024, meaning it took 62 weeks to sell another 200,000 units. For the first 31 weeks, it was averaging around 250,000 daily streams on Spotify, and since then it has averaged around 125,000 streams. That means it must have moved twice as many units in the first 31 weeks compared to the second 31 weeks, indicating it had moved some 533,000 units by 23 August 2024. Since it has moved another ~67,000 units since then and the streams have been relatively constant, we can assume it's moving ~2,000 units a week.

At this rate, we can estimate it to cross the following thresholds at the following dates:

700,000 units: March 2026

800,000 units: February 2027

900,000 units: February 2028

1,000,000 units: January 2029

1,100,000 units: January 2030

1,200,000 units: December 2030

Hopefully in-between the song will be featured in some prominent shows and get major boost on streaming so that it can go multi-platinum faster. Still, even if Padam goes 2X platinum by 2031, it will be faster than any Kylie song has gone silver since Dancing!

Padam hit silver when it was at around 50 million Spotify streams across all remixes, and it had a lot of downloads and CDs propping its numbers up as well.

Tension is currently at 30 million plays, with much less downloads and CDs to support those figures. Padam's streaming numbers were probably a fair bit more global than Tension, but even then the gulf in pure sales means Tension would still have to hit at least 40 million plays before it can go silver. At its current rate, it's going to take until August 2026 to get there.

🥺 Oh still quite a way off! Thanks for that info! I wish some of the Golden and Disco singles would sneak over silver too.

Finally!

Yes, I’m onboard for streaming Tension more. It seems to come up more often than Padam on autoplay after I play a pop album on Apple Music so fingers crossed it gets there soon.

I’ve just added all the remixes to one of my playlists to help it on its way to silver even though it seems it’s quite a bit off reaching it.

I am wondering why none of the Disco singles are certified even now. Say Something is now at 43.5 million Spotify plays across all versions, Magic is at 56 million, and Real Groove is at 62 million. Even A Second To Midnight is at almost 40 million.

We last got updates for Magic and Say Something on 4 February 2021. Magic was at 47,000 units and Say Something was at 75,000 units. On Spotify they had 12.8 million and 15.4 million plays respectively (only found data for the standard version for Say Something and the two main versions of Magic, no remixes included). Taking out around 10,000 units from each for downloads and physical editions, we should've had 37,000 and 65,000 streaming units respectively. Magic should now therefore be at 145,000 streaming units (155,000 units overall) and Say Something at around 174,000 units (184,000 overall).

I think I'm overestimating the streaming for Say Something a little since it was at 113,000 units as of May 2023 according to the OCC's list of her most streamed songs up to that point. SS was at 33 million plays then, so that should put it at around 150,000 units from streaming now. Regardless, it's safe to say both songs should be around 160,000 units by now. Silver will probably happen sometime around Disco's sixth anniversary, though hopefully it comes sooner.

Real Groove was at 47,000 units as of 13 May 2021, when it was at 23.6 million streams across its three main versions. It should now be at some 130,000 units. Silver seems a while away for it, maybe sometime in 2028. With A Second To Midnight, Silver is probably even more far away.

I don't know how to edit my post to include this, but look at the post above for the Disco singles.

Of the Golden singles, I would assume only Stop Me From Falling is close to silver. I would think it's over 150,000 units, probably around 170,000 units. Music's Too Sad is probably just over 100,000 units, around 110,000 units if it's lucky. As for Golden and Lifetime to Repair (which I think shouldn't even count as a single), I'd say both are around 40,000 units.

It would be nice to have an actual figure for Tension so we know, I feel like it can't be a million miles away.

It had sold 555k by w/e 31st October 2024, so an average of 2,143 units a week since then.

Thrilled 'Padam Padam' is Platinum! 'Spinning Around' should be next - it was averaging 700 units between July 2019 and August 2020 (when it went Gold) which would put it on 565k, but it could be averaging more nowadays. 'All the Lovers' and 'Love at First Sight' should get there in the next few years too.

'All the Lovers' and 'Love at First Sight' should get there in the next few years too.

I would put Spinning Around a little bit higher, maybe around 580,000 units. It was at 314,000 pure sales as of April 2018, and was certified gold in August 2020, indicating it had earned some 86,000 units from streaming by then. At the time it was at 21.6 million streams on Spotify. Now it's at 66.3 million plays, and if overall streams increased in proportion with that, the streaming units should be around 270,000. That should put its total units over 580,000 units. Hopefully platinum happens before the year's end.

All The Lovers was at 383,000 pure sales as of April 2018, but it went gold in February 2017. If we compare those units to the ones we got from the 2019 update here (440,000 units), we get a rate of 320 units per week so it should be at 540,000 units by now. It has shown considerable growth in streaming since then though, so I would actually estimate it to be over 560,000 units. Hopefully platinum will happen in 2027 or earlier.

Love at First Sight was at 200,000 pure sales as of April 2018, and it took 5 years to sell another 200,000 units to go gold. That would put it around 475,000 units by now, but it saw a decent growth in streaming in 2024, averaging around 40,000 daily plays compared to 30,000 daily in the years prior. That's like a 33% growth in 2024, so that would put it close to 490,000 units by now. Either way, by the year's end it should be well above 500,000 units and hopefully it'll go platinum in 2027.

Another song I'd like to look out for is Higher. It has almost doubled its streams since March 2022 when it was certified gold (it was at 56 million plays then and now it's at 104 million). It should've added another 60,000 units since then, so it should be at around 460,000 units by now. I think if it continues to show growth in streaming it will go platinum before the end of the decade.

I hope Tension (the song) gets certified Silver by the end of the year.

I don't suppose you have an estimate for 'Dancing' as well? Attempting to update Kylie's best sellers list but I'm struggling with this one.

The OCC said it was at 21.1 million in June 2023 when it was at 36.4 million Spotify plays; now it's at 39.6 million, so it should be at some 23 million UK-only plays. That alone should put it at 201,000 units. I'm going to add another 10,000 units just to be sure. I'm not sure exactly how many downloads/physical singles Dancing sold, but Chartmasters estimates it at being 40,000 downloads based on its chart run. I would throw in another 5,000 for any growth since then or physical singles, so all in all I would put Dancing at over 250,000 units; 260,000 units if we're being optimistic.

I remember older estimates putting Dancing at 270,000 units like 2 years ago, but it has torpedoed in streams (Slow earns twice as many streams on the daily) so I'd be shocked if it was much higher than 270,000 units even now.

New Kylie certification!
