Released 27 years ago, yesterday (13th October 1997) :cheer: timeless bop!

Maybe was released 21 years ago, yesterday! (13th October 2003) and still no official music video upload, or worldwide availability for the album it's from :coffee: sxYQEse0BSo

That's an incredible bargain! :o Less of a bargain is the £66.49 I spent on the vinyl. It was down to 5 copies left, and I had a severe case of FOMO so I had to get it. :drama: It sold out about 2 hours ago!

Von dutch vs. Von dutch (a. g. cook remix featuring addison rae) remix is so good though [4]

360 vs. 360 (featuring robyn & yung lean) Club classics vs. Club classics (featuring bb trickz) Sympathy is a knife vs. Sympathy is a knife (featuring ariana grande) I might say something stupid vs. I might say something stupid (featuring the 1975 & jon hopkins) Talk talk vs. Talk talk (featuring troye sivan) Von dutch vs. Von dutch (a. g. cook remix featuring addison rae) Everything is romantic vs. Everything is romantic (featuring caroline polachek) Rewind vs. Rewind (featuring bladee) So I vs. So I (featuring a. g. cook) Girl, so confusing vs. Girl, so confusing (featuring lorde) Apple vs. Apple (featuring the japanese house) B2b vs. B2b (featuring tinashe) Mean girls vs. Mean girls (featuring julian casablancas) I think about it all the time vs. I think about it all the time (featuring bon iver) 365 vs. 365 (featuring shygirl) Guess vs. Guess (featuring billie eilish) ^ A playlist I put together so that I could hear the original version and then the remix straight after. It might be a bit premature to be making this thread, but for now this is how I feel... 360 vs. 360 (featuring robyn & yung lean) Club classics vs. Club classics (featuring bb trickz) Sympathy is a knife vs. Sympathy is a knife (featuring ariana grande) I might say something stupid vs. I might say something stupid (featuring the 1975 & jon hopkins) Talk talk vs. Talk talk (featuring troye sivan) Von dutch vs. Von dutch (a. g. cook remix featuring addison rae) Everything is romantic vs. Everything is romantic (featuring caroline polachek) Rewind vs. Rewind (featuring bladee) So I vs. So I (featuring a. g. cook) Girl, so confusing vs. Girl, so confusing (featuring lorde) Apple vs. Apple (featuring the japanese house) B2b vs. B2b (featuring tinashe) Mean girls vs. Mean girls (featuring julian casablancas) I think about it all the time vs. I think about it all the time (featuring bon iver) 365 vs. 365 (featuring shygirl) Guess vs. Guess (featuring billie eilish) 8 - Brat 8 - Brat and it's completely different but also still brat a tie! It was tough to figure out which Rewind version I prefer, but I think the remix slightly elevates it :thinking: Choosing between the Talk Talk versions was also difficult, but I think the "talk to me in French, talk to me in Spanish..." hook as a chorus in the remix gives it the edge for me.

Or album titles will be split between an original tag and a deluxe tag.

B2b featuring Tinashe! That's my favourite out of the new remixes. I'm also really liking Apple, Sympathy is a knife, I think about it all the time and So I (and I'd say the latter two I prefer to the originals!).

Issa knife when

It was on 93,324 sales on 9th August, now we’re 9 weeks on from then. If it was to go Gold today (which I doubt it will) then it would be selling ~740 units a week on average to do that. I doubt its weekly sales have been that high though. But it’s difficult to know what its boost could be from Kylie’s recent activity. Hopefully Music Week will provide a new Tension figure on the 25th (the date Tension II charts)! Would love updates for her other albums too but I have a bad feeling they won’t be too generous with that.

Who’d have thought Kylie would play Madison Square Gardens arena twice. Well done to her :cheer: :wub: Levelling up to US arenas at this stage of her career is such an accomplishment for her.

The frankly rotten Orville! :o I did! :lol: I just couldn’t resist and I think I would have regretted not doing so if they end up selling out 😅

Lights Camera Action is currently the #1 trending song on Instagram reels!

Wait, I overlooked that there's actually 3 of them (one is the picture from the original artwork, but with a changed background). £40 bundle for 3 CDs. :drama: £46 when you add in the cheapest postage option. Hmm...

It's giving panic @1844129069379862980

I've never really understood why the fan base is sooo down on 10 Out of 10 tbh. Bop! x

Girls Aloud were filming together on Tuesday! It's speculated that they were filming "talking heads" for an upcoming tour documentary. @1843709135013220480 Speaking of which, Mercury Studios have posted this on their website: https://mercurystudios.tv/catalogue/program...irls-aloud-show "Shot entirely in 4K" :cheeseblock:

:wub:

There's a rumour that Girls Aloud will be releasing I'll Stand By You (Sarah's Version) and tied in with Children in Need, but maybe something to take with a pinch of salt for the time being. :thinking: It would be very nice if that's true!

@1844363239708409875 I won't be able to resist ordering both! 😍 :drama:

Thanks Liam! :cheeseblock: I do hope she gives Disco some representation. I'm kind of worried she might snub Say Something but I really hope she does it! No complaints from me if we got Red Blooded Woman and Come Into My World 😍 I could see either or both being more likely than I Believe in You on this tour actually, but we'll see! I'd like to see Kylie performing Dancing again, but I struggle to see it fitting in on this tour :thinking:

It's a Jax Jones remix of You're My Number One!

I'm enjoying this series a lot! I felt fatigue in the past few years, but I think they've struck gold with this bunch of contestants. Noel and Alison's chemistry really works. Nelly is an icon and must be protected at all costs :cheeseblock:
