Ah love this! If she can get Apple on board along with Amazon then Spotify can do their usual.

63k increase for Rein Me In versus last week

Streaming now - nice to have a longer version. Should pick up a few paid for download sales.

It’s hard to gauge how it’s sold - usually we know there is a 5k limit but this is being sold everywhere and it’s only just sold out on the Madonna store. Maybe it will manage a 2nd week in the Top 100? If they’ve really gone for it with the vinyl they may as well throw out a remix next week too.

If its coming I don’t think we’ll get it announced until November. She’s thrown so much at us this year too and they need to give Fever some time to sell.

It’s a smash Looking forward to hearing the mixes.

‘Babydoll’ vinyl on the way (released late November)

It’s appeared at more indie stores today - I feel like they’ve produced 20,000 of these and they are going to be around for ages

My point is it only seems to come up when Taylor’s team does it - just pointing out that’s it’s much more wide spread than that. (Also it’s a forum, the whole point of it is to reply and discuss things so there’s that too. I can think of a few other points if needed).

^^ I gave it some spins when it appeared on Spotify in July but won’t start playing it now until Halloween is over.

As did Madonna/Kylie, Sam Fender/Olivia Dean and countless others - loop holes in the charts have always been taken advantage of by record labels that care enough to do so.

Hopefully we get a big push at the end of October across socials (ala Mariah style) - good to see it’s getting some plays on Spotify though, bodes well for it hopefully doing decently this year.

Not sure it’s manipulation, it’s great marketing from Team Taylor tapping into her huge fanbase. People still need to part with money and want the physical product for it to work.

In this case I thought they were called The Blossoms - I don’t think anyone would think 1D were called ‘The One Direction’. Anyway my error has cause almost 2 pages of posts - we love the engagement.

Slow times when the use of ‘the’ gets the posts flowing.

Guessing sales must still be really close, the Blossoms have signed all the pop up only variants and they are being sold via a local indie store - https://www.waxandbeans.co.uk/collections/signed-exclusive-blossoms-lps-and-cds?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAdGRleAUzSbFleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBwZG9mAmZkaWQWUP3SHu78-62SE31-zDupzjO-JAqzUXNydGMGYXBwX2lkDzEyNDAyNDU3NDI4NzQxNAABp2mB7uGVnkA4s6Ld_0bvtPIrPm6NV3TuksbFgv6xqXnRZGcZNEPIR1YDoO8D_aem_z-dwrRxVmzuB4uxDYwdZVQ

2026 Grand Final Entertainment Ratings Kylie Minogue (AFL Pre-Game) - 1.83 Million (Average Viewers) / 4.35 Million (Reach) Up 20% compared to 2025 pre-game show. Ratings Growth: Kylie's performance saw a 20% increase in total reach compared to Snoop Dogg's pre-game entertainment set in 2025. Social Media Impact: Across digital activations and brand partnerships (such as Telstra), Kylie generated over 450,000 direct engagements, nearly doubling the engagement of the AFL event hashtag itself.

Just realised rhat ‘Bittersweet Goodbye’ was the first to go Absolutely love that song.

They’ve engaged their fanbase in the battle for #1. They added 3 extra intimate album release shows today (2.300 tickets) - 2 have sold out.

#8 on Amazon now which is decent considering they have their Prime sale on at the moment and lots of vinyl is on sale (Madonna album for £9.29 etc).

Jamie is in the UK next week on a promo blaze so could be a battle for the top between him and Ashe.

Kids probably went to early (even though I voted for it) but that is its pay back for having to listen to it at every single tour and live performance for the past 20+ years 🤣 ‘Koocachoo’ for me this time.

If you don’t change your mind and decide to post the results then I’ll take it over as there has been 10 responses (and hopefully a few more to come ❤️)

I don’t think anything will be particularly limited from this release - Parlophone tend to produce more for Kylie releases rather than BMG.

It’s been 6 years since the last forum singles rate - get your votes in everyone! 🙏
