So I’m 3 or 4 listens in now and for me it smack in the middle of the other four songs from this year. So placing it 3rd from the 5.

Thanks, there’ll definitely be changes. I’ve already started warming to a song from the bottom section of my list. I can see it making a reasonable leap.

She’s had a fair few collaborations. It’s nice to have a solo track again.

I know, it’s 6:15 in the morning here. Good start though.

Damn having to leave for work now. I’ll catch up on this properly tomorrow.

#3 on iTunes in Australia already.

Up to #23 on iTunes in Australia. The EP is at #2, ahead of Lady Gaga at #3.

Thanks Padamic_Tension! Great to see there’s at least a few you like on here! :) Similarly with the singles I’m interested to see if this changes over time.

I’ll probably miss it, but I’ll definitely pop by after it to share my thoughts.

Thanks. I feel like I’ll be regulating checking this thread on my breaks today and after work.

I genuinely wasn’t sure what the thoughts were around this, so thanks. I do think it’ll hang around the charts for ages though.

It helps being just after 4am here and I’m just about to get ready for work.

I like the idea of getting a b-side, I just wish they put it in streaming. I get it though, it’s incentive to buy the physical.

Thank you!! It really is. Though I don’t venture over to every artists forum to be fair. I quite liked this on first listen. Not super instant for me, but I’m definitely coming back to it again.

This does actually feel like a jazz covers album now. Though I’ve only heard snippets.

Thank you! Hopefully with my album listen throughs and singles ranks I’ve become a part of the family here. :)

Well I guess I better get listening to Tension again then. :lol: I voted for Kylie, just to start from the start. Honestly though I’ll be happy revisiting any album.

Really looking forward to this. It’s actually my first full era as a fan and not just a casual listener.

Ah thanks, I thought that might’ve been the case but wasn’t 100% sure. Thanks, that’s a fair point. I just thought she might leave some breathing space between them, but I’m all for an October release.

Crazy good when you see some of the songs on this list.

Let’s hope so!!

Unfortunately the decline has started on iTunes in Australia. Now #36, it got as high as #33 from what I could see. Still pretty decent though.

Kylie Minogue has been nominated for 5 ARIA Awards including: Album of the Year - Tension Best Pop Release — Tension Best Independent Release - Tension Best Song - Tension Best Solo Artist

I'm not sure what the forums consensus is on the majority of these 12 songs are, so I'm looking forward to the replies. :)

7D60fDLNjbg Album Tracks & B-sides Honourable Mentions #6 Made Of Glass #5 Fever #4 Tightrope #3 Nothing To Lose #2 I'm Over Dreaming (Over You) #1 So Now Goodbye Unlike the previous 6 songs I had a much easier time ranking these. Made Of Glass is a brilliant little pop song and I can't believe it was relegated to b-side status on the Giving You Up single. I can still remember this being played regularly on Australian radio around the time Giving You Up was released. The title track of Kylie's 2001 album is next in Fever, this is another one that got a radio push in Australia so when it came to listening to Fever for the first time I was already familiar with this one/ The second Fever song of this section and third overall in the 12 is Tightrope, released as a bonus track for Fever or b-side for In Your Eyes depending on where you lived. This one instantly connected with me when listening to Fever for the first time and I've gone back to it several times since. Two songs from Enjoy Yourself feature at #3 and #2 in Nothing To Lose and I'M Over Dreaming (Over You), the former being another great late 80s PWL track and the latter being by far my greatest non single discovery of my Kylie 2024 journey. I absolutely love I'm Over Dreaming (Over You). Which means So Now Goodbye is my favourite Kylie album track or b-side and the only reason this wasn't the greatest discovery of my listen throughs was because my sister owned Light Years growing up and I can recall her playing this, so when I came back to Light Years more than two decades later it wasn't completely foreign to me.
