WTWRG didn’t sell much on release either…which was totally baffling at the time because it’s such a fine track.

I sort of get it though. In the mid-90s she wasn't exactly hot property, it's a fairly uncommercial track and Nick Cave is an alternative artist not known for hit singles.

At the time WTWRG was a much longer hit in places like Ireland and Germany. It only spent 2 weeks in the UK top 40 at the time

In terms of Nick Cave’s chart career, it was by far his best charting so in that respect it did really well (although two songs have outsold it since).

Update total for 'Disco' as of w/e 2nd October 2025: 191,952

That's 11,731 chart sales in 104 weeks, averaging 113 a week. It was averaging around 200 in 2023 when Kylie was actively performing.

A respectable total! So 200,000 some time in 2027

How brilliant would it be if they lowered the platinum certification threshold for albums released after 2017 to 200,000 and retroactively applied it to all the albums released since then.
