t5Vo-aqlP0Q 3. Breathe Taking the bronze medal in my singles rank is the third single from Impossible Princess, Breathe. Like Spinning Around before it I had this at #1 for a stage too, the top 4 or 5 are all that high quality for me that it's incredibly difficult to separate them. My memories of discovering Breathe are still pretty clear, it came after Did It Again so by this point I was fully aware who Kylie Minogue was (and yes that she absolutely was not a girl group like I thought with Did It Again). I use to wake up early on Saturday morning and watch the weekly top 50 singles countdown on ABC and I can remember Breathe coming on and enjoying it but not being a huge fan. For me at the time it was a little removed from the likes of Steps, B*Witched & Billie Piper, but there was something about it that just seemed to get into my subconscious as when it'd come on every week I'd find myself just sitting quietly watching it. I'm very happy to say it's only grown over the past two plus decades for me and I absolutely adore it now.

t1DWBKk5xHQ 4. Spinning Around Just missing out on a spot in the top 3 is the song which could be argued reintroduced Kylie to the wider pop world in 2000. Spinning Around was released in June 2000 and was Kylies first full release solo single in over two years! The lead single from the comeback pop album relaunched Kylie as a certified pop start whole could still deliver an absolute knockout single. This would go on to be as much as confirmed a week after release where it would debut at #1 in both Australia and the UK. In Australia it was Kylie's first #1 single since 1994s Confide In Me and in the UK since 1990s Tears On My Pillow. I can distinctively remember hearing and seeing this for the first time on a Saturday night on the Pepsi Music Chart Show and I thought it was great, I was well into my pop loving ways by this stage. I went off this for a while in the 2010s but over the last few years I've really got back on board with it. So much so that for a while I was very tempted to have this at #1 for me.

#4 & #3 coming up shortly.

Ah that really made me lakeside, thanks for sharing. :lol:

Up to #71 in Australia now. Good growth so far.

Rihanna Ft Jay-Z- Umbrella

In fact it’s already at #99 on iTunes in Australia.

Correct, out now in Australia.

I haven’t listened to these yet. Will have to try and make some time on the weekend.

Thanks, I agree. Some of her albums tracks and probably most or all of the ones I’ll post are above at least one or two singles from their respective albums.

I’m the same, work and then dinner with friends on Friday, so no chance I’ll get to listen to it then. Saturday morning I’m free still have to be then.

Hyped this is released so soon, this Friday! That should be my weekend listening sorted!

Admittedly I’ve only heard the preview but it doesn’t sounds as strong as Angel Of My Dreams, which to be fair I was expecting as this is a buzz single. It still sounds good though and has me hyped for the album.

Oh I absolutely love Back For Good. It’s not just one of my favourite Take That songs but one of my favourite boy band songs.

Yeah I think this could have some covers on it at the least. I think Get Happy is a cover.

It’s been a bit of a long day at work today so I’m hoping to do #4 and #3 tomorrow. Following that I plan on doing a list of my favourite albums tracks before doin #2 and #1.

Wow! I love that fans have such different tastes and rankings. It’s also great to see the respect and friendliness shown here, we all have different opinions but everyone has been very warm and welcoming. :heart:

Oh wow, this is unexpected. Hopefully we get something this week.

I really enjoyed Christmas Isn't Canceled (Just You). So hopefully this is just as good.

For some reason I always thought SOS was a single from Progress, guess I was wrong.

Funny How Though I do like everything left.

That makes a heap of sense and I actually think you’re right. I’d love new music sooner though.

Bit of a drop today, but it’s probably where I expected it to be.

Not sure on the UK, but they had limited success after that in Australia. Another top 50 singles and a few that made the top 100.

Favourite I think would be Round Round or Stronger. Least would be Angels With Dirty Faces or Virgin Sexy.
