My faves after Week 1: 1. Cara Melle 2. Kate Butch 3. Michael Marouli 4. Ginger Johnson 5. Tomara Thomas 6. Vicki Vivacious 7. Banksie 8. Alexis St Pete 9. Naomi Carter 10. Dede Licious Loved them all really down to Alexis. Naomi I think could grow on me but seems a little green and Dede was a little too try hard for me. But LOVE 8/10 which is strong as hell. 8.

Such a shame there is no hype this time around because I think that was a FANTASTIC opening episode. The cast completely shone… maybe actually having 10 queens instead of 12 allowed everyone’s personalities to shine but I felt like we got to know everyone which was lovely. Cara Melle is an obvious superstar. It’s brilliant to see some older seasoned queens like Ginger, Michael and Vicki too. On top of that Tomara and Kate Butch were serving so much personality. I honestly think going in with lower expectations made for a fantastic surprise as I think the casting is actually the strongest it’s been in a few seasons… bring it on.

Troye’s new song came on my autoplay on Spotify twice yesterday despite only listening to this new one once before I think. I wonder if that is happening to others too.

I am predicting 51,000 and obviously a #1. Also people predicting around 3k for Mae Muller... I can honestly see around 1-1.5k only and probably barely cracking the top 100.

Release Radar is new music from your most streamed artists, so it is specifically tailored for your music tastes. Therefore being 1st on Release Radar won't be seen by anyone else expect you!

Honestly I have been having such a moment with it today. The last 60 seconds or so may be one of my favourite parts of the album. Just a rush of emotion and perfect pop middle 8/outro.

I’m predicting it being close to ‘Disco’ opening sales now. I’m thinking it will do 56,000 compared to the 54,000 ‘Disco’ opened with.

Not to be rude, but can we stop the underwhelmed comments please? To say a one day figure of over 31,000 is disappointing is really misunderstanding the album market at the moment. It’s a higher opening figure than Olivia started with last week and she has three songs in the UK top 10 and she’s one of the biggest stars in the world. It’s already sold more in todays 24-hour update than Beyoncé’s full first week sales for her album last year. Since ‘Disco’ the album market has really probably collapsed about 30% of sales I would say… and on top of that she’s already outselling the rest of the top 10 combined. Of course this is brilliant news, but it also means that there will be no chart battle this time to incentivise the fans even more. The fact that streaming is up 30% on Spotify is great, and we know from the positions that Kylie’s biggest streaming numbers are coming from Apple Music. I would guess that would at least be up 50% from Disco, which will help with extra data for sales by the end of the week. I still expect this will manage a slightly higher opening sales than ‘Disco’, but even if it falls short, Kylie on her 16th album is still opening with at least 50k and outperforming 99% of the the music industry 35 years in her career. Let’s just celebrate that. Underwhelming to who exactly?

If this is for Disco CD: 27,498 Vinyl: 13,510 Downloads: 6,368 Cassettes: 4,503 Streaming: 3,040 I’m guessing for Tension: CD: 25,000 Vinyl: 19,000 Downloads: 7,000 Cassettes: 4,000 Streaming: 6,000 Total: 65,000

So Kylie is streaming on Apple Music than Doja?? That’s incredible.

Yes, it made me well up today too. To know it is about her battle with cancer, and for it to be the album closer, it really does sound like a victory lap.

Great to see the playlisting for this one is so strong at the start! I don’t see it charting this week. I think we should expect nice little boosts for Padam and Tension, get ourselves excited about the album sales and not expect too much from this. If it’s got some great playlisting support, let it do it’s thing and maybe it will build in the coming weeks. I just don’t personally expect a post-album Kylie single to do much in this climate.

I personally still think ‘Running’ is better than a lot of the songs on the standard. She should have got rid of ‘Green Light’ and had ‘Running’ on there instead.

Okay so I would rate: 1. Padam Padam 2. Hold On To Now 3. Tension 4. Story 5. Vegas High 6. Somebody To Love 7. Things We Do For Love 8. You Still Get Me High 9. Just Imagine 10. Hands 11. Green Light 12. One More Time 13. 10 out of 10 14. Love Train

Somebody To Love - 8/10 Yes absolutely loving this! It should be on the main tracklisting… why is this only a deluxe song and better than a lot on the standard?

7/10 - Just Imagine I think this one will grow on me tbh - it’s maybe not the most memorable but can imagine it showing itself more over time

3/10 - Love Train I’m so sorry Kylie, this one is awful.

Ohhhh didn’t realise this was happening but let me go back through what I’ve listened to so far: Padam - 10/10 obvs Hold On To Now - 10/10 - what I love Kylie doing!! Things We Do For Love - 7/10 - very LM - Break Up Song Tension - 9/10 One More Time - 5/10 - not feeling this one sadly You Still Get Me High - 7/10 - this one too similar to TWDFL to be this close in tracklist Hands - 7/10 - interesting track and cute Green Light - 5/10 - sounds like a Disco cast off to me Vegas High - 8/10 - love this! Really great pop 10 Out of 10 - 4/10 - still can’t get on board Story - 9/10 - what a brilliant closer to the main record!

So tired but stayed up until midnight as I need to hear tonight. Can’t believe it’s only 15 minutes away!

Are these club nights in London? I wanted to get tickets for the RVT one but they are sold out :(

Yeah completely agree - was enjoying the song but the sample ruins the vibe. It legit sounds like a bad YouTube mash-up..

#39 in midweek album charts today. I know it will fall massively, but fingers crossed it can keep a top 100 place this week.

Can't get this out of my head... the chorus is such an earworm.

This is very 'Amethyst' part 2 with some more dance-leaning production for me so I think it is very in line with the Tinashe you enjoy.

One of the best pop songs of the year already for me. Sooooo good.
