Elijah-Blue

I have 3 variants, with no just imagine, but Running in that spot. So I am not trolling, so I would appreciate you taking back your inference and make apologies.

Runnig has always been a bonus track on all deluxfe versions. wake up

And this is one of the main reasons the UK charts have become a bit of a joke, I'm not sure which is more incredulous, the format rule or one Business (Label) or the other business (OCC) deciding which part of our money counts. I'm not sure the Aussie charts has it right either, but everything counts here, it has major drawbacks, for instance 16 of the top 50 last week was that person who I can't stand but it is was it is. Interesting side fact, if the same rules that OCC apply were applied to the Australian Charts this week The Beatles would of been Number 1, it landed at number 6. Makes you wonder how many Number 1's in the UK in recent years were really Number 1

First up you must understand that I truly believe us Aussies invented the word Convoluted!! It is no secret that Australian fans have been treated badly through this whole era with a number of variants of PP and T and the Album itself not available to us and totally forget about HOTN, it's like it doesn't exist over here. It is for all of this that the Aussie Variant of the Album WAS being released on Dec 18. That is no longer happening on the 18th. I ordered cd, cassette and vinyl of this release, 2 days ago I got an email saying that the CD and Cassette will be shipped on the 15th and the vinyl shipped express/overnight on the 22nd at no extra cost to me. At first I was like "WTF" and then my mate, who has always been 100% correct on this Era explained to me why Australia really does not care about the race for Xmas Number 1 stuff and I doubt we ever will, but that doesn't mean Record Companies and Artists are not trying to maximise sales over that period here. With that in Mind and because of cut off dates Xmas week is split into two weeks here this year as far as high sales are concerned. The Xmas chart cut off date is Midnight December 21st Australia eastern standard time and released Dec 22nd at 5.30pm AEST. The CD and Cassettes will be included in that chart The Vinyl sales will be included in the Dec 29th chart. Looking at those dates made me see why they are doing it this way and I am comfortable in the prediction that the sales of every artist will be much higher on the 29th then the 22nd. Confused yet?, I'm not finished lol "Running"...you know the song that only appears on deluxe versions (and now the new Aussie variant) lmao has been added to Australian Radio, not HOTN. So sorry for this very long convoluted post explaining the very convoluted way BMG has reached Convolution point in this country

Australia has a new variant the week before xmas. it's a double, all songs plus remixes and Running is added as the 11th song and 11th remix. Running is gaining major attraction over here

I know this is a chart forum and as Sammi so pointed out, not a fan forum..I dont give a f***, this song is brilliant' This is KYLIE

With delivery it is $95AUD. Feels like a rip off, giving it a miss.

When you have a earworm like padam, then follow it up with heavier edm in Tension, then dial it back with Hold on to now and then go totally raw with story. This is to me her greatest album, it's a master piece

I really don't post anymore, mainly for the reasons stated on the last page or two. We have people like sour candy and neil (yes I will call them out) who are intent on spreading negativity and dressing it up as something else. This era has been enourmas so far, I repeat so far. We have a Silver Album, top 10 single and a top 20 single. I do believe there is more to come. I did listen to both singles and the album today, not because I want to help her chart or whatever, I listened because I wanted to listen. A couple of days ago it was hold on to now, now it's story that has my attention. that is a sign of a brilliant album, one that keeps evolving.

66k Physical and 38k streaming for Adele :30: 92k on deliivered pre-order and 15k knowm dl and S...it's a hit To Liam regarding Oz Sales

My little friend at BMG who also has the inside track at ARIA (pun intended) has told me that "Tension" will debut at number 1 in OZ with the biggest first week sales this decade. The promotion in oz in the last 24 hours has been huge, without actually Kylie, but rather Kamille appearing live on multiple shows.

This song!!!. It Grabbed me instantly. Padam took a few listens before I fell in love, but Tension got me within 30 seconds. Totally sold When the PP video arrived, for me, it was "Wow, she looks so great and so confident" But this video is so hypnotic, yes she looks great and that self assured belief she has is clearly showing through, but their is so uch going on in the video, I'm watching it over and over and picking up new things everytime. This deserves to be a top 10 hit, without a doubt

I love the video and the song. Better then PP imo

Not only is sorbet a word, it's a food. Dessert to be exact

PP is certified Gold in Australia (35k) In actually fact it has passed 50k...Platinum is 70k. Per capita her sales are equivlent to 125k in the UK

PP remains at 44 in Australia this week. It is her 9th week in the top 50

Please please please be the next single

Kylie up from 49 to 44 in OZ. Sales are down WoW, the rise is solely because taylor lost around 8 songs in the top 50. she only has around 700 songs in the top 50 now...<sigh>

35(27) in Australia. Sales wise it has held steady though. Taylor Swift has had huge media attention here in the last 7 to 10 days, with the end result being 10 songs above Kylie. (13 songs in the top 50 overall) A majority of those will be gone next week and Kylie will probably move back up the charts with the likelyhood of increased sales

We all went out last night, around 40 of us aged between 18-30....We are a very diverse lot, gender wise and sexuality wise and music wise. As always the conversation turned to music. Some of us are Kylie fans, some can take her or leave her, others just not into her at all, but the whole feeling was "Padam" has lit up our winter with even non kylie fans saying they can't help actually enjoying the song, some even begrudgingly so. Considering the diversity of us all, it is amazing. The other interesting thing is the tickets for Taylor Swift went on sale this week amid blanket media coverage, her name was mentioned last night and at least 80% of us groaned..along with many comments similar to "If I hear that name one more time...." All that made me think that the PR team behind Kylie has got this "Tension" era extremely balanced, she is out there for all to see, but not to the point of overload. Media hysteria over an artist more often or not leads to a backlash against the artist. The feeling against Taylor last night was very real

Where did I say Jessie's comments in this thread were a disgrace> I said one comment, one judgement was a disgrace. I think you are just playing me and this whole situation as a fool.

I was having dinner tonight with friends,,,lamb shanks, mashed potatoes, a few greens and red wine gravy...I think I just digressed, anyway they have a 16 year old and a 13 year old and I asked had they heard PP, they hadn't, I showed it and they were truly mesmerised with a whole lot of "how catchy is this" too "Lordy that outfit" to "Shit Uncle Whoever I am,it's awesome"

This

We will agree to disagree, we obviously feel each others behaviour left a lot to be desired. Everyone else should probably not comment, especially another mod as you passed judgement with a smilie knowing I could not defend myself.
