Liam.k.

'Never Too Late' gets my vote quite easily - it's Top 3 for Kylie's 80s singles alongside 'I Should Be So Lucky' and 'Turn It Into Love' for me.

Yeah I'm not sure why 'The Loco-motion' and 'Wouldn't Change a Thing' were overlooked when even 'Never Too Late' was certified Silver despite not actually selling enough (I know it was based on shipments, but still it seems odd it received a certification over the other two).

Made this prediction list for new certifications at the start of the year and four have them have been correct. 'All the Lovers' was averaging 349 chart sales between February 2017 and July 2019 but is likely doing better now. If its average since July 2019 was 400 chart sales, it would be on 566k now; if its average was 500 chart sales, it would be on 597k. I imagine it lies somewhere in the middle, so its total would stand at 581k today.

Yes, so for example for 'The Loco-motion to be certified Silver, it has to achieve 200k sales since 1994 (and I think this could happen in the near future). Something like 'I Should Be So Lucky' already achieved a Gold certification in the 80s, so it will need to achieve 600k sales since 1994 in order to be certified Platinum.

We're left with the four singles! My vote goes to 'Bedtime Story' again - a song I've grown to really enjoy over the years after initially not getting it, but still remains my least fave of the singles.

The certifications just keep coming! 'Spinning Around' averaged 778 chart sales between August 2020 and now.

Just noticed 'Cruise Control' is on Spotify UK now! I'm guessing it was uploaded at the same time they fixed the issue with 'City Games'.

Yeah I got the Neptunes from this with the guitar. Also 'My Humps' with the sighs at the beginning. This is so much fun, I can see myself having this on repeat for quite a while!

'Gone Gone Gone' is a nice track, interesting to think what William Orbit would have done with it. I still would have favoured 'Revenge' finally getting released but I won't complain at Madonna allowing one of her unreleased songs out the vault. It managed to chart at #76 on the UK sales chart, #72 on downloads.

'Rebel Heart Tour' live album is Gold in France for 50k sales... how random!

'Finally Enough Love' sold 3,940 vinyl and 1,330 downloads on its first week (with some vinyl not shipping until week 2 and 3). I don't think 'Veronica Electronica' will manage quite as much but think it could at least achieve 2k vinyl. Sadly I think it'll just miss out on a Top 40 position.

Madonna's remix album 'Veronica Electronica' is released on vinyl and digital platforms tomorrow. How are we expecting it to perform in the charts?

I love both too - out of the songs that are left, these would be my final two so to it's a shame to know one of them will be leaving. I settled on 'Sanctuary' as well.

Always makes me laugh how aggressively she puts down the mints on the counter. Bless Sarah, but there was no defending her acting in Corrie!

'Secret' and 'Sanctuary' are both tied - which one do you want to leave?

More teasing!

My friend sent a clip of this to me today and I'm so excited to hear the full thing! Celine Dion is known as 'Queen of the Power Ballad' but - between this and the Majestic remix of 'I'm Alive' - I'm happy her uptempos are getting some recognition. Would be here for a DJ something with 'That's the Way It Is'.

Not sure what has changed for me but I’m able to post on my phone now.

Snippet of 'Need You Tonight' performed in Paris other night! Didn't realise that earlier last month she performed a snippet of 'Nothing to Lose' for the first time since 1990! Underrated bop from her early years.

Gutted at this! I still regularly listen to 'I Feels So Good' so I hope this issue is rectified soon!

It was 4th on her most streamed list in September 2023, compared to 8th and 9th for 'Like a Virgin' and 'Into the Groove'. It also had higher post 1994 sales in August 2019 (217k for 'Holiday', 197k for 'Like a Virgin' and 177k for 'Into the Groove'). 'Vogue' had post-1994 sales of 222k in August 2019 and was 6th on her most streamed, so a Platinum certification could be on the horizon too (at which point 'Vogue' would officially be over 1m chart units).

I wonder how long until 'Into the Groove' and 'Like a Virgin' are certified Platinum - some time in 2026?

Fantastic news! I think estimates vary for its physical sales but, based on panel sales, 'Holiday' sold 483k in the 80s and 82k in 1991. Adding the 600k from the Platinum certification for sales since 1994, that puts its total at 1.165m. Sales post 1994 were 217k on w/e 8th August 2019 (308 weeks ago), giving an average of 1,244 chart units a week.

Anymore votes?
