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:

I've got a feeling that Good as Gone is going to be great and a fan favourite!

^ That's a great set list, Padamic_Tension! :heart: I forgot when opening this thread that the tour could feature some Tension II songs that we haven't heard yet! :lol: I'll throw in some album tracks randomly anyway. :kink: Act 1: 1. Lights Camera Action 2. Tension 3. In Your Eyes 4. Good as Gone [Tension II album track] 5. Slow Act 2: 6. Confide in Me (Big Brothers Mix) 7. Taboo [Tension II album track] 8. Get Outta My Way 9. Edge of Saturday Night 10. Love at First Sight Act 3: 11. Your Disco Needs You (Intro, Verse 1, Chorus, Spoken Word) 12. "Disco" Medley: Supernova / Last Chance / Real Groove (Initial Talk Remix Version) / Magic (Purple Disco Machine Remix) / Dance Floor Darling 13. Your Disco Needs You - Reprise (Chorus, Post-Chorus) Act 4: 14. "PWL" Medley: Step Back in Time/Never Too Late/Better the Devil You Know/What Do I Have to Do/I Should Be So Lucky/The Loco-Motion (with Love Train interpolation) Act 5: 15. Spinning Around 16. Things We Do for Love/You Still Get Me High 17. Someone for Me [Tension II album track] 18. I Believe in You Act 6: 19. Hold On to Now 20. Say Something 21. Story 22. All the Lovers 23. On a Night Like This Encore: (Before Kylie comes back on stage, the screens starts playing a short megamix of hits to hype the crowd back up. The music is interspersed with footage highlighting Kylie's recent successes... so clips of Brit Awards, Grammy win, her saying how it's made her feel. The megamix draws to a close with the instrumental intro of Padam repeating itself and getting louder, until she pops back up on stage to start singing the first verse of it) 24. Padam Padam 25. Can't Get You Out of My Head

I need to get on with this :whip:

Feeling so damn old :cry: I think I got 'S Club' on CD for Christmas 99 :thinking:

Dumb Dumb, but I'm happy to see it get this far!

Are we veering towards Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me being the winner? I’m team Fortnight! I feel like it stands out as a unique song in her catalogue, there’s nothing else quite like it. I think it’s unassumingly one of her most stunning tracks.

It would be a turn up for the books if this ended up at #2 in the UK and therefore achieved a higher peak than it has in the US!

I’d say it’s more “considered” than “considers”. The vinyl & cassette had likely been manufactured before their plans changed. The CD having the same track list as download/streaming suggests to me that it’s now this updated track list that the label considers as *the* track list, but it was too late to do anything about the vinyl and cassette. I really can’t see it being that low. Let’s just wait for Monday 21st because until then we just can’t tell what its preorders are like!

What constitutes “that many”? It’s impossible for us to know how many preorders she’s done from her store, HMV and indies. Her formats went high up the Amazon chart. In theory the presale link on her store will have attracted many sales. A lot of people don’t read the small print that you don’t have to buy anything to get a link.
