Delicate

Always surprised to remember that the Abbey Roads Session almost reached number one and almost went platinum. Its sales are almost triple KMO's, which is another big shock. How did the former manage to sell so much despite being by-and-large another greatest hits album and how did Kylie's sales fall so quickly in such a short span afterwards for KMO to struggle selling even a third of that amount despite being a brand new album with singles, promo, and a tour?

Figure I found for Can't Get You Out of My Head on Twitter: 1,912,683 as of this week. Not sure how accurate this is.

Third time? There was a 10 year gap between Tears On My Pillow and Spinning Around, and then a 22 year gap between Slow and XMAS. What was the other ten year gap?

It's also almost time for her once a decade slightly more insightful than usual release (Impossible Princess - X - Golden)!

Wait is Kylie Christmas actually in the running for the top spot? It didn't even occur to me that it would be getting a major chart boost. If it reaches the top ten, it would leave Let's Get To It as Kylie's only album to miss the top ten. 35th anniversary vinyl push next year to get it into the top ten?

Top 40 already and it's only for the week starting 21 November? I sense Kylie's highest charting song in 15 years incoming!

When Alexa pushes Kylie's XMAS song to number one and queues Santa Baby right after it on every play as well so Kylie ends up getting two Christmas top tens 🤩

Can Lily make the top ten this week?

Chinese or I Could Say would also have made great singles.

I don't think so unless there's a big pure sales push later down the week.

I'm very shocked, as this album seemed to be having more buzz than the previous one which still managed to get a top ten placement. I was thinking she'd make it into the top 20, but I won't hold out hope.

Number 72 on the Updates Chart.

I think the success of this album is hinging less on who Lily's divorce was or the mid-2000s being 'cool' again (which has been going on for like 5 years now), and more on the quality of the album and how much people are connecting to Lily's songwriting and sense of humour in the face of what must've been a highly difficult situation for her. David Harbour is well-known, but certainly not enough to influence the British charts of all rankings through an unconfirmed divorce from his ex-wife who was a big star almost 2 decades ago. For the same reason, Katy won't come back anywhere near the top of the charts unless the next album is undeniably a major return to form for her and helps her shrug the disdain/disregard the public has had for almost a decade now.

Come through Lily!

Do we know the sales for all of Lily's albums thus far?
