I wonder who decided to include the very little known 'Twin Master Plan Mix' of Love at First Sight instead of the vastly superior and better known mixes by Ruff & Jam or The Scumfrog?

Only two days to go until Fever turns 25! Are we expecting an announcement on Friday, or something new, like the Dom Dolla remix of Can't Get You Out Of My Head?

For those in the UK, the VMAs will be shown in full tonight on MTV at 9pm. It's then very likely to be added to Paramount+.

It's appalling how Spotify treat Kylie now. It is reminiscent of how Radio 1 have treated her. I cancelled my Spotify subscription and moved to Amazon Music last year.

I think they rightly focussed on Kylie's biggest streaming hits, and BTDYK is way down at 30 on Spotify. Saying that, Slow was included at 31, but that achieved Number 1 in Australia.

Top 40?! No chance. Kylie didn't make the Top 40 with much bigger collabs; like My Oh My, Dance Alone, Midnight Ride or Edge of Saturday Night.

Another 531 CDs in week 2 is good going!!

There are two versions of Love Sensation on the Official Charts website: Love Sensation (Madonna) Released 4th June 2026 https://www.officialcharts.com/songs/madonna-love-sensation/ Love Sensation (Madonna and Kylie Minogue) Released 6th August 2026 https://www.officialcharts.com/songs/madonna-kylie-minogue-love-sensation/ When you click on Love Sensation from the Official Singles Chart Top 100 it takes you to the former rather than the latter, so hopefully it's as simple as fixing that, and assigning the chart position to the latter version (which is the one that actually achieved the position).

From the Official Charts website: Madonna extends Official Singles Chart record with Kylie collaboration Love Sensation Love Sensation nets Madonna a record-extending 65th UK Top 10, and Kylie her 37th. Sensational! This week’s highest new entry belongs to not one, but two bona fide pop icons, as Madonna and Kylie’s blockbuster collaboration Love Sensation debuts at Number 8. Lifted from Madonna’s 13th UK Number 1 album CONFESSIONS II, the track becomes her highest-charting single in almost 17 years, since Celebration reached Number 3 in 2009, and earns her a record-extending 65th UK Top 10 single. Madonna’s last visit to the Top 10 came courtesy of The Weeknd and Playboi Carti collaboration Popular, which reached Number 10 in February 2024. That incredible 65th hit further cements Madonna’s place among Official Chart royalty, with only two artists in history boasting more UK Top 10 singles: Elvis Presley with 76 and Cliff Richard with 68. Madonna’s 65 Top 10 hits span four different decades - the 1980s, ’90s, 2000s and ’20s. Love Sensation sees Kylie collect her 37th Top 10 single, following 2025 Official Christmas Number 1 XMAS, which became her eighth chart-topper overall and made her the first female artist to score UK Number 1 singles across four different decades. Kylie's wider Top 10 run is even longer, spanning an extraordinary five consecutive decades, from the 1980s right through to the 2020s. Love Sensation becomes the third Official Top 40 single from CONFESSIONS II, following Sabrina Carpenter collab Bring Your Love (29) and Danceteria (38), helping make it her first album to spawn three UK Top 40 hits in 18 years. The last was 2008’s Hard Candy, which delivered 4 Minutes (1), Give It 2 Me (7) and Miles Away (39). And here’s a fun Official Chart fact for you: before joining forces on Love Sensation, Madonna and Kylie had amassed exactly 100 UK Top 10 singles between them - 64 for Madonna and 36 for Kylie. Their new collaboration takes those respective totals to 65 and 37, an astonishing 102 individual Top 10 credits combined, while their UK Top 10 careers span 42 years for Madonna and 38 for Kylie. Now that’s longevity. https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/madonna-kylie-minogue-love-sensation-top-10-record/

£15 for a 7" vinyl single 🤣

These sales do look a bit low. I was expecting Light Years, Aphrodite and Kiss Me Once to sell about 2,000 copies each, and X 4,000. I think it's because most collectors will already own the previous vinyl releases of Light Years, Aphrodite and Kiss Me Once, and as these are almost identical, many haven't bought them.

Tension (the single) sold 4,690 CDs in the week it made the Top 20. That was with two versions, so assuming that was mostly fans buying both, she had around 2,345 people supporting the release physically. Love Sensation has three versions, so if the same Kylie fans bought all of them, that would be 7,035 sales. That's before all the Madonna fans.

The CDs dispatched this week, will be counted in the chart this week.

Well played Warner! Great tactic. A surprise early release for the CDs. The sudden switch from plastic cases to card sleeves makes sense now... They needed something very quick to produce.
