Posted June 16Jun 16 A trip down memory lane to 2 of Kylies early big Top 2 hits, both very different but both excellent in their own way and are now 37 years which seems crazy.
June 17Jun 17 Author Got to be Certain gets my vote as ive always had a soft spot for it and i loved it on the anti tour.Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi ive always liked aswell but not in the same way and at the time made in heaven was what i wanted as the single but i do appreciate Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi alot more now and its so different from everything else SAW were producing at that time.
June 18Jun 18 From the early Charlene era, "GTBC" and "Wouldn't change a thing" are my 2 top favourites. And perhaps "Turn it into love" would be a 3rd.
June 18Jun 18 Definitely JNSPP for me. GTBC is very lightweight but of course was perfect for the ‘Charlene’ era and infinitely better than the woeful Mandy Smith recording.
June 18Jun 18 'Got to Be Certain', I have such a huge soft spot for it and it's just a great song.But JNSPP is also great! I think the production on it is quite advanced and intricate for that era of PWL.
June 18Jun 18 Got To Be Certain, though k do like them both a lot.They were both great discoveries when I did my deep dive into Kylie’s discography last year.

June 18Jun 18 Her TOTP studio debut was Je Ne Sais, if I'm not mistaken. It was quite something seeing Charlene in a local British studio!

June 18Jun 18 Pretty certain she did Locomotion on TOTP, which was before JNSPP. Edited June 18Jun 18 by ChrisJK
June 18Jun 18 Author I wonder was their many other huge number 1;s such as i should be so lucky that didnt get performed in the studio back in those days as everyone was chomping to get on TOTP as it usually resulted in a good sales increase back then.

In the late 80s you had Jive Bunny, NKOTB, soul II Soul, the bangles, Madonna, simple minds, Jason Donovan, and that was just from 1989. Not to mention the charity songs.
