Calum

Binged my way through this and it was amazing. Diane Morgan is just brilliant, and her physical comedy in a role like this was spot on The weakest part of the series for me was how much focus was given to Michael/Renee, both pretty unlikeable characters all round with no redeeming qualities. Would've much preferred more time spent seeing Linda and Sue getting up to god knows what lmao.

9 Your Disco Needs You UK chart peak: N/A From: Light Years Light Years loses its first of three singles in the top 10; Your Disco Needs You. Despite never actually being released as a single in the UK (because it was considered too gay and camp lol), it did manage to chart in the top 200 but it not being a top 100 single for Kylie is genuinely one of the most criminal things of the 21st century. Despite all of that, Your Disco Needs You is genuinely one of the best things Kylie has ever done and is iconic in so many ways. The Showgirl tour performance, seeing her bring the sixth act to a close with a proper on-stage celebration, belting it so loud and proud, sends shivers down the spine. It's such a euphoric, feel-good song that encourages everybody to get to that bloody disco. We also got a glimpse into the recording process for the song on Kylie's recent Netflix documentary seeing the repeated attempts to master the operatic high note, giving you even more reason to appreciate her and the song for delivering such an iconic moment. Your Disco Needs You has definitely been stamped into gay culture, so whoever had the deciding vote that it would've diminished her image must be kicking themselves now.

10 Put Yourself in My Place UK chart peak: #11 From: Kylie Minogue Before I comment on Put Yourself in My Place, a quick glance at what's to come in the top 10 and besides some individuals, the majority are singles from Light Years, Fever and Aphrodite. Hardly surprising given I'd say these are three albums that absolutely gave us some of Kylie's strongest ever singles. Classics that will never be forgotten and are strongly embedded in pop culture in some way or another. As for Put Yourself in My Place, my first exposure to it was... you guessed it... the Showgirl tour. The final act before the encore, Kylie appeared ethereally on stage to perform this and Can't Get You Out of My Head and it was absolutely stunning. The second single (coming after Confide in Me, but ahead of it in this countdown) from Kylie Minogue, it's such a beautiful ballad and really highlights just how good a vocalist Kylie is. Not only that but it's accompanied by a brilliant music video. No surprise that most critics consider it one of the highlights of Kylie's career too. Every time I go back to this I'm reminded just why I love it so much, so it simply had to make the top 10 here.

Renewed for a third series!

11 Giving You Up UK chart peak: #6 From: Ultimate Kylie 12 Confide in Me UK chart peak: #2 From: Kylie Minogue Confide in Me, the lead single from Kylie's self-titled fifth album, is alongside Giving You Up as the two that just miss the top 10 here. Confide in Me was the beginning of a new era - Kylie leaving PWL behind, releasing music with Deconstruction Records and no longer feeling like PWL's 'puppet'. And while Kylie manages to retain her signature sound with whatever she puts her voice to, you can tell that there's a really big shift in style. Confide in Me, considering its time too, really does manage to push the envelope and has rightfully remained one of those Kylie songs that's held in such high regard by so many. It's moody, it's rousing, it's atmospheric, it's powerful, emotional and has both a weight and tenderness to it that draws you in. You feel that even more when you watch her performing it live and being so lost in the moment. And just ahead of Confide in Me, Giving You Up... I feel like this is one that I'll get side eyes from a few for its high position here, but alas I really don't care because I've always had such a soft spot for it and it will forever be one of those Kylie songs that I grew up loving. I can so vividly remember the music video, the live performance(s), listening to the song so much when I was younger. It's one I still go back to a fair bit too. The music video for one is, for me, absolutely one of Kylie's most iconic in terms of visuals. AI Rita Ora clearly got her inspiration from the Giving You Up video. Although it was removed from the setlist for the Homecoming tour and replaced with White Diamond, it slotted in so perfectly on the Showgirl tour in the first act alongside Better the Devil You Know, In Your Eyes and On a Night Like This. This and I Believe in You as a singles package supporting Ultimate Kylie really was top notch.

New single from Joshua out tonight!

13 I Believe in You UK chart peak: #2 From: Ultimate Kylie 14 In My Arms UK chart peak: #10 From: X I did think going into this that I'd have I Believe in You in my top 10, but alas it's landed just outside it at #13. For me, despite lyrically being one of the most simplistic songs ever, it's so beautiful. The lead single from Ultimate Kylie and another collaboration with Jake Shears, I Believe in You was considered a return to form by many after Body Language wasn't received the best universally, and also earned Kylie a Grammy nomination. I think looking back now, it's definitely one of the most iconic early 2000s Kylie singles, and the music video just as iconic. Live performances, such as on the Showgirl tour and Aphrodite: Les Folies prove that it translates just as well in that setting too, providing some of the most dramatic and endearing moments. I Believe in You, however, isn't the highest placing single from Ultimate Kylie here, with one more yet to come. In My Arms was the third single from X, and despite being one of the best songs from the album (and the highest-placing single from the album in this countdown!), it ended up actually being Kylie's lowest-charting single in Australia since Cowboy Style. Seeing In My Arms come to life live - particularly on the KylieX2008 tour in the Black versus White act, was great. It's one of those songs that really pops and has its moment; particularly with the rocked-up version of the song performed on the Aphrodite: Les Folies tour. Unlike, for example, Slow and Can't Get You Out of My Head where some of her singles are revamped for live performances and it leaves me a little cold, this was one that was interesting to see a different take on. Definitely, in my opinion, the best single choice from the X era, and a single that will always stand up against some of her very best.

Sinner to win. But feel like this year has been very uninteresting overall to follow. My king Draper better be back and in perfect health next year ready to bring them all down x

The last thing we need is her essentially becoming the UK right’s version of Charlie Kirk

I don’t mind them having a Love Island name on, but him and Dani?

Cobolli really needs to tighten up and try sweep the next 3 sets but I don’t see it happening sadly.

Happy for Fery to have made it this far, but I am firmly team Cobolli today 🙈

15 Please Stay UK chart peak: #10 From: Light Years 16 What Do I Have to Do? UK chart peak: #6 From: Rhythm of Love Originally intended to be the second single from Rhythm of Love - instead the third after Step Back in Time was opted for - What Do I Have to Do? is a proper Kylie classic for me, standing up so well in a perfect run of singles from this era too. It's interesting reading about the tension that some - what would now be considered - classic Kylie singles caused behind the scenes, with the likes of Mike Stock not being happy with this type of sound and direction taking over in place of more traditional pop songs. But thank god we got this because it's such a fun song and really leans into the club vibes brilliantly. Showgirl tour mention #3765, but that live performance of this song, as well as the blend with I'm Over Dreaming (Over You), was genius, and Kylie's vocals on this live just make it sound even better. I'm glad that even today she still has so much love for and likes to include singles from the Rhythm of Love era on tours. What Do I Have to Do? ends up the second highest placing single from Rhythm of Love, so I'm sure you can all guess which one is yet to come. Latin pop song Please Stay is honestly so underrated in my opinion. Such a brilliant song, serving as the fourth single from the Light Years era (with three (!) more yet to come in the countdown; proves just how strong the singles were from that album). The latin vibes of the song really come through when you see Kylie performing this on the Showgirl tour, adding a blood red dress over the top of her lacy jumpsuit and the whole performance feeling like you're in a matador's ring. Despite that, the music video, in my opinion, just oozes pure sex appeal. For me, it was probably one of many gay awakenings when I was younger. Being included on Ultimate Kylie too, watching the music video over and over and not knowing whether I was attracted to Kylie or whether it was the men at the party throwing her around the room in their unbuttoned shirts and tight jeans was quite the dilemma. This being a top 10 hit for Kylie too is something I love to see, because were it not for the sheer strength of the other singles ahead of it here in Kylie's discography I'd make a case for it being top 10.

17 Can't Get You Out of My Head UK chart peak: #1 From: Fever 18 Dancing UK chart peak: #38 From: Golden One thing I'll always respect Can't Get You Out of My Head for is the sheer cultural impact the song has had. It's become a defining song of Kylie's career, with the iconic music video, the white jumpsuit, pretty much all aspects of it embedded in queer culture and being a real turning point for Kylie heralding in a brand new generation of fans. The music video was very much a part of my childhood, referring back to Ultimate Kylie and watching it on repeat. The song's come and gone in my affections over the years but I'll always love it really. After initially being offered to S Club 7 and Sophie Ellis-Bextor, it's difficult to imagine this being a song by any other artist now. What really sticks with me about this song is how the likes of The Abbey Road Sessions and some live performances can turn it into a much more powerful, atmospheric song too. One of the things that always stands out to me about this - particularly with its live performances - is how it can end up incorporating themes and sounds of Doctor Who so well, with the backing dancers on the Showgirl (and Homecoming) tour alluding to Cybermen, and Kylie then ending up starring in the show. Kylie's first single with BMG and lead single from Golden, Dancing is such a wonderful country-pop-bop that introduced us to this brand new world that Kylie had cooked up for the era so perfectly. This was a delicious taste of what was to come on an album full of Kylie in storytelling mode and infusing country so wonderfully into her classic pop sound. What was brilliant to see is that critics raved about Dancing too, some being a tad hyperbolic saying it was the best/freshest thing she'd done since Impossible Princess (where were you for all the other eras?), so Kylie definitely hadn't lost her edge going into this era. I think we'll need to be eternally thankful for what those Nashville recording sessions did for Kylie as an artist and how she's brought it into every era since. Dancing was the perfect encore to the Golden tour too, so to see it performed live was great; the last time I saw her on tour.

The whole sentence

Shelton out in the first round is a bit 👀 Need Cobolli to pull through and do as well as possible now ❤️

19 Wow UK chart peak: #5 From: X 20 The One UK chart peak: #36 From: X Kicking off the top 20 with a double helping of X singles, and it's Wow and The One dropping out, meaning only one single from X remains in the countdown. It's intriguing that there seems to have been so much topsy-turvy behind the scenes with the singles strategies for X, because while the campaign was largely okay in the UK, it seemed they really wanted to crack the US with Kylie's comeback era. Given it failed with All I See, they ended up going with Wow the second time. Wow was wanted as the first single to launch the campaign too, but ultimately 2 Hearts was chosen (who knows how different things might have been had that happened?). Wow for me is a slice of pop perfection, and picks you up and transports you right into the stratosphere; undoubtedly a Kylie classic at this point. The One, on the other hand, is one that for some time I've had a love/hate relationship with, but now it's pretty much all love given its high placing here. The fifth and final single from X, The One has always been one that the fans have gushed over. For me, around the time of X's release and for a while after it was overrated and I just couldn't love it the same way I loved most of the other songs on X (albeit an album full of experimentation among some perfect pop). It's wild knowing that it only just made the top 40 in the UK because you'd think it should have been a top 10 hit, but coming right at the end of the era... perhaps that was a misstep. Live performances of The One really elevate it for me too because you can see just how much Kylie loves the song and it's become a part of her timeless catalogue.

No swearing in this thread please xx

21 Breathe UK chart peak: #14 From: Impossible Princess 22 Come Into My World UK chart peak: #8 From: Fever 23 Stop Me From Falling UK chart peak: #52 From: Golden 24 Into the Blue UK chart peak: #12 From: Kiss Me Once 25 Hand on Your Heart UK chart peak: #1 From: Enjoy Yourself Number one single Hand on Your Heart becomes the highest-placing in the countdown from Kylie's sophomore album Enjoy Yourself. The lead single from the album, Hand on Your Heart has always been a favourite of mine. Despite the lyrical content of a woman wanting her man to literally put his hand on his heart and say he means it when he says it's over, it's such a fun, enjoyable pop bop that embraces pushing Kylie's sound forward after the success of her debut album. It's always a joy to hear it performed live too, particularly on the Showgirl tour in such a nostalgic act. One thing I will say about Hand on Your Heart though is that I'm not quite so keen on the re-recording of it from The Abbey Road Sessions compared to the elevations some other songs enjoy from it. That doesn't detract from how much I love it, though. In stark contrast to Hand on Your Heart, the lead single from Kiss Me Once - Into the Blue - has had far less live outings, despite receiving much attention from also being performed at the closing ceremony of the 2014 Commonwealth Games. It always baffles me that the Kiss Me Once era gets such a hard time because, comparatively speaking, Into the Blue launched the campaign in quite a strong way; certainly not a massive flop compared to other eras. I Was Gonna Cancel really doesn't negate how brilliant this and the rest of the album is. Into the Blue certainly has that same euphoric feel that the likes of All the Lovers do and definitely deserves to be considered a classic Kylie song, even if she herself may have moved on from it entirely. Fever loses its first single in the countdown with Come Into My World landing just outside the top 20. I do love this, but when you sit it alongside the rest of the singles from a near-perfect era it's the weakest in my opinion. That said, seeing this open the show on KylieFever2002 is a moment. Kylie standing at the centre of the stage, her armour being undone to reveal herself and inviting the crowd into her world for the next one to two hours, performing the best of Fever and classic hits. So much love for it. The music video for Come Into My World is great too, can always remember watching it on repeat as a child, and it being part of my Kylie education featuring on the Ultimate Kylie music videos DVD. The second-highest single from Golden, Stop Me From Falling, might seem a bit high but honestly I will make no apologies. It's such a brilliant country-infused pop bop that never fails to make me happy when listening to it. Another of the songs recorded while Kylie was in Nashville, and one of her favourites from the album, it's great to see Kylie letting loose and having so much fun and sounding so good vocally, despite this being one of the songs on Golden that isn't quite so deep in storytelling mode as some others. At #21, Breathe marks the highest-placing single from Kylie's sixth album Impossible Princess. No matter where it ended up in the countdown itself, it would always have been the highest from the album. It's such a gorgeous song, and despite being released at a time where things were very uncertain and ending up being the last song released under Deconstruction it's great that over the years it's still woven through so many other projects. Having this, in such contrast with what charted next for her with Spinning Around, just shows her versatility, and the calm, soothing nature of the track in both production and vocals is lovely. This is absolutely one song I'd put on a list of Kylie songs somebody should listen to if they'd never listened to anything by her before.

Not an 11 year old thread being bumped when the album’s discussion thread is on page 1 of the AF

26 Put Your Hands Up (If You Feel Love) UK chart peak: #93 From: Aphrodite 27 Never Too Late UK chart peak: #4 From: Enjoy Yourself 28 Shocked UK chart peak: #6 From: Rhythm of Love 29 Timebomb UK chart peak: #31 30 Padam Padam UK chart peak: #8 From: Tension It's a testament to how strong an album Aphrodite is that only Better Than Today had dropped out at #76 before reaching the top 30. Put Your Hands Up (If You Feel Love) has always been a firm favourite of mine from the album. It's a miracle this even ended up being released as a single given how Better Than Today went down, but alas it at least got a moment to shine. But by that time, the campaign was dead in the water with this only just scraping the top 100 in the UK. The brackets couldn't be more on the nose here though because you can really feel the love with this song; an incredibly joyous pop bop. The final song before the encore on the Aphrodite: Les Folies tour, too, it was an iconic note to end on, feeling like a celebration on stage after a monumental performance by the goddess. Three top 10 hits drop out here, the first of those being Padam Padam; ultimately the highest-placing song from the Tension era in the countdown. It took me quite a while to warm to Padam Padam. Initially I wasn't really feeling it. It wasn't until it started going viral and it felt a little inescapable that it finally hit me, and it ended up being iconic seeing everybody dancing to a Kylie single in 2023. It's hard to imagine this song ending up in the hands of Rita Ora or a Eurovision contestant now given those were the thoughts before it was snapped up by Kylie, and with Slow being the inspiration for some of the sounds on Tension, it's easy to see that with on this song. Rewind to earlier Kylie albums and we lose another single from Rhythm of Love, Shocked, and Never Too Late doesn't quite manage to become the highest-placing single from Enjoy Yourself with one more still to come. Both are such brilliant songs. Shocked has probably warmed its way into my affections from tour performances and repeated listens afterwards (notably its inclusion in the Smiley Kylie medley on the Showgirl tour; when you look back at that medley and see just how many songs were included in that it's wild, but in the best way), and Never Too Late just has that classic, early Kylie feel and sound that is so comfortable and joyous you can't help but shuffling along. Vocally, it always stands out so much to me with such a perfect hook. Hearing it as part of a classics medley on the Kiss Me Once tour was something I'll never forget. Released in 2012 as part of KM25 celebrating Kylie's 25th anniversary in the music industry, Timebomb was surprise-released and is such an energetic dance bop that really switches things up in the best way. Although it didn't end up actually featuring on an album (of sorts) until Step Back in Time: The Definitive Collection's release in 2019, it's always had its fans and was good to hear live on the Kiss Me Once tour (sadly I didn't make it to the Tension tour). It does seem strange looking back that they wouldn't include it on The Best of Kylie Minogue in 2012 as a new track, but alas. Lyrically it's quite similar to Dancing I'd say, even though it pre-dates that. It's always great to hear Kylie singing of living in the moment, seizing the day, and having the time of your life.
