I love Les Sex and think IWGC is decent. I also think it’s a solid album and quite enjoyable to listen to start to finish. Though I now think it’s probably ranked bottom versus all her post PWL albums.

Love Real Groove and I was watching some live Olympic athletics coverage and Miss a Thing was playing in the stadium. The single that never was.

It’s been on that playlist for years and it’s been achieving 400k plus a day for most of the last year. It also has these weird fluctuations where it reaches 600-800k a day, on Saturday it logged 659k. Incredible and it really boosts her monthly listeners.

Think NTL also suffered a little from being released with the album. TOMP charted better mainly because back then January single sales were weaker plus it was helped by The Delinquents. Given Kylie was achieving so much success at that point PWL were delighted, none of their other artists compared except Rick and Jason and they both had a much sharper decline.

She said on the interview with Zoe Ball she’d been busy recording or words to that effect. As much as MOM has been underwhelming streams wise it’s no worse than what ASTM did to lead off Disco Guest List. Maybe the plan was actually the launch of a new album with MOM but they’re delaying it because it’s not doing well enough to kick start the campaign.

That footage from Ibiza definitely looks like it’s for use in a promo.

The live performance is brilliant really improves on the studio version. Ace live vocals.

Happy memories of the summer holidays of 1989!

A few boosts away from platinum!

Magnetic Electric and White Diamond were part of an iTunes exclusive edition of X….they were never meant to be available to download separately but the error wasn’t spotted for part of the release week. Happy days!

Top ten for both. Be interesting to see whether it can maintain its great start.

Agreed, useful to house them somewhere official.

The overwhelming majority of albums now have prolonged stays in the chart purely down to streaming. Tension will only build meaningful chart sales if it’s reissued with two or three more streaming hits. It’s all nonsense really as if they start including the streaming sales of Dance Alone, Midnight Ride and MOM to Tension, it doesn’t create any further revenue or royalties, it’s just album chart vanity. So let’s appreciate Kylie releasing random collabs and new music for us to enjoy. If they decide to package them all up in a reissue then we can add it to our physical collections and it’ll boost the sales/ revenue for a couple of weeks.

They’ve added it to the single which is much better than putting it as the latest release.

They need to spend the cash on a new edit that tones down the grating La La chorus. I’d buy that.

Considering CD singles and vinyl singles were £2-4 over 30 years ago they’re not expensive. We’re just used to physical music products being cheap because the market collapsed.

That’s an underwhelming Friday total for the three of them.

Quite like it though the chorus La la are too produced. It’s very much Padam style so it’s good for a reissue. It irritates me that it’s not a Kylie cowrite but Tove Lo is credited. I guess having the three of them singing on the track and referencing their star signs is it’s USP. Hopefully it’ll catch the attention of the play listers and brings in the big streams!

Think Kylie cost them quite a bit with Rhythm of Love and LGTI so the 1992 and 2002 reissue helped them turn a profit. Completely capitalised on her Fever success with the 2002 release, shame the sales weren’t combined, think both are platinum. 2002 also came with a companion DVD too. Have it somewhere!

Wouldn’t say it’s auto tune, more vocoder. Unless they mean the same thing. The interview with Zoe implied a new album was coming plus she as good as confirmed a tour. Kylie said she’d been travelling with her own studio or words to that effect and that much more is to come and soon!

Midnight….it has soul!

Didn’t she use symbols a few years ago on her website? Though nothing came of it. Anyway this is excellent news, more new music. She’s totally spoiling us.

£10 for vinyl is well worth it for casual fans.

Guess the main market for Aussie physicals is Kylie fans regardless of whether the other artist is Australian.

Extended Tension and Disco, Christmas and Kylie 88 marked as about to sell out. Guest List Vinyl and Infinite Disco no longer available. Guest List 5 Disc still cheap but only 3 left. Be interesting to see if any are replenished. Tension Pink still available at any price is surprising. Would have expected that to be unavailable now.
