If there are not two reissues of DISCO this year, I'll be VERY surprised.

Kylie has been nominated for an Australian songwriting award for Say Something. APRA AMCOS has revealed the shortlist for its 2020 Song of the Year, with 25 entries voted in by APRA members from across Australia. Tame Impala have the most shortlisted tracks with ‘Is It True’, ‘It Might Be Time’, and ‘Lost in Yesterday’ from last year’s ‘The Slow Rush’. Spacey Jane, Polaris, DMA’s and Lime Cordiale have all made their debut on the shortlist, though there are also some surprise first-timers. Kylie Minogue makes her first appearance on the shortlist with ‘Say Something’ from 2020’s ‘Disco’, while INXS‘ Michael Hutchence and Andrew Farris get their debut nod for Dua Lipa‘s ‘Break My Heart’, which samples their 1987 hit ‘Need You Tonight’. Bunna Lawrie, Joel Davison and Midnight Oil‘s Rob Hirst have also been recognised on the shortlist for the first time with ‘Gadigal Land’. Last year’s winner, Tones And I, is also nominated for ‘Bad Child’, with Archie Roach, Paul Kelly, Missy Higgins, Tim Minchin, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Baker Boy, Cold Chisel, Hilltop Hoods, Amy Shark and more filling out the rest of the shortlist. The shortlist will be cut down to five final nominees in March, before the 2021 APRA Music Awards go down on Wednesday 28 April at the International Convention Centre Grand Ballroom at Darling Harbour in Sydney.

Hopefully Kylie is writing and recording remotely in Melbourne for another album to be released at the end of the year. Then in 2022 she can tour with tracks from both releases.

Yes just yes.

Why has Kylie suddenly taken off again in France? She's had more airplay there over the last month than in either the UK or Australia? Is her higher profile resulting in more sales for Disco?

Do people really think Disco will sell less than Kylie’s Christmas, Golden and Step Back In Time? No just no.

Are BMG planning to work Real Groove in the New Year? It's weird that they're not pushing it seriously in the lead up to Xmas.

Imagine if Real Groove ft Dua Lipa is the next single.

Disco has referenced the disco and French house sounds that inspired Spinning Around, Love at First Sight and In Your Eyes. I’d love for the next album to be influenced by the sleek eighties electronica that provided inspiration for Can’t Get You Out Of My Head, Slow and I Believe In You, taking its cue from the slightly experimental Say Something.

Any word on Spain and Hungary?

I'm so proud of Kylie. This feels like the beginning of a third imperial phase for her.

Does Kylie now have #1 in the bag?

Has it been mentioned how Disco dropped to #2 on US ITunes yesterday but today it’s risen back to #1 today!

This really does feel like the US election all over again!

Has anyone begun to notice that the Disco lyrics have multiple meanings that tell a story that is not necessarily romantic. For example, I'm pretty sure that Magic has been sneakily written to outline a recreational drug experience in a club--MDMA or more likely psilocybin (AKA MAGIC Mushrooms) . Read the lyrics and it actually describes the elements of a positive drug experience quite obviously. "Do you believe in Magic?" Magic being the drug. I also interpret the song as being from the point of view of a closeted queer youth who is experiencing liberation for the first time within the walls of the disco. "Come hold me like you mean it; Don't want to keep this secret". Kylie is a clever lyricist!!

The whole standard album is stuck in my head. Honestly, this is Kylie's most accomplished body of work.

Honestly any of the tracks from the main album could be a single.

Hi. I'm new. I love how this album has received all good to great reviews so far. I can't think of another time a Kylie album has been so universally praised by the critics.
