Does anyone else think the opening beat sounds like Crystal Waters Gypsy Woman?

Sales vs streaming - With a sale you had to make a trip to a town centre, physically walk into a shop, find £3.99 and then go all the way home, to get x number of people to do this especially in times of hardship was a mighty achievement and any act who managed this should be praised. Streaming go to spotify, find a song play it done in 4 minutes. This is why in my opinion streaming sales and downloads should not be compared to physical sales they should be two separate things, imagine all the actual sales from 1950s to 2005 that never happened as people never got to purchase a song they liked. There are songs I hear now and I think, why was that not in my record collection and why did I not buy it.

Kylie's US promotion and concert appearances maybe paying off Padam is No.62 and No.84 in US I-tunes. Not quite sure I agree with her doing all this US stuff when it's still the UK where she is most popular and her only appearance has been to fly in for Capital Ball and fly out again, but if she and her record company are determined to finally break the US market best of luck to her. Padam is back at No.1 in UK how does this compare to other i-tunes songs over the years? How long did Flowers stay in the top 3 this year before dropping away?

I had to check the Lulu stat out very surprised she had a top 10 in 5 decades.

Can we just step back and take this in Padam Padam was released on 18 May since it's release 4 weeks ago it has barely left the i-tunes top 2 currently this 4 week old song is at 1, 8 and 10. It has been the biggest selling single for over a month with sales still increasing. A month ago no one could have predicted that a star with a 35 year career would make such a comeback. It has been astonishing and Kylie said on the Capital Summertime Ball interview that Padam is still a baby at 3 weeks and has a lot left in it, so she believes this song will be around for a good while yet.

Nice To Meet Ya is an amazing song should have charted better IMO.

How do you know it's 135 I can only ever see the top 100.

I don't remember thinking it was remarkable, more remarkable was probably the sales and the worldwide appeal but she got a good song, used the unique voice sample and released it at the right time, I remember a lot of woman in their late thirties loving it, then in 1999 Shania Twain gave the same genre another album of hits that hit the right note with ladies of that age and then again Dido also did the same. Considering Cher had the 2nd biggest song of 1991 and a number in 1995 and had a hit most years of the decade and was probably the biggest female artist in the UK of the decade I just assumed it was normal.

So would that be enough to get it top 10 tomorrow or are they included tomorrow for next week's chart?

What about the cassettes that people are saying will be added is that included in today's midweeks?

Not sure why there is the debate about older acts and the 90s, the 90s were full of older acts, Rod Stewart, Aerosmith (1994 Steven Tyler), Meat Loaf, Bee Gees, B-52s, Bruce Springsteen, Cliff Richard (No.1 in 1999) to name a few.

I wonder after the surprise of the Summertime Ball appearance whether Kylie might make a surprise appearance at Glastonbury, maybe on the Rick Astley set. Imagine the response to a Rick Astley/Kylie Padam duet.

Livepopbars is the one I look at is that the same then?

So there is no way of knowing how popular or the number of sales just the positions then?

Kylie Minogue back at No.1 it has swapped places with Entitled Sons but weirdly has the same popularity numebrs as when they they were the other way round.

The top of the i-tunes chart is changing constantly is this because there is no new music out and the smallest of sales is making a big difference? I am assuming Entitled Sons were featured on a Sarah Beeny interview or show last night or this morning to jump to the top.

What is wrong with "making it up" it's just an idea of what people think would have happened of course it's made up because we can never know. Flip the scenario if streaming had never existed and it was still sales Kylie would be celebrating 4 weeks at No.1 not trying desperately to reach the Top 10.
