Maybe Now didn't want too many Stock Aitken Waterman productions on their compilations during Kylie's early days? After Rick Astley, Bananarama, Donna Summer and Jason Donovan had left PWL, there were only some short-term hit acts (Sonia, Big Fun, Lonnie Gordon) around, so there was no more SAW competition for Kylie and she could be featured on Now more often.

Lhuna is a great choice for last place! Last night I listened to Kiss Me Once again and IWGC isn't as bad as I remembered.

Thank you very much for this amazing countdown! We could guess for months which song might be the one and I'm really glad with this choice!

I have to say living in Germany I still enjoy the fact that YDNY was a single over here. Kylie was on Germany's biggest show and I still remember her amazing performance there. The song / video was played on all radio stations and music channels. It became her highest charting song in Germany since Where The Wild Roses Grow and her biggest solo hit since Better The Devil You Know.

Could have been worse. What I like about Lou Bega is that he has never appeared in any reality show (yet). He just doesn't want to use it as promo for new music and he had already earned enough money thanks to Mambo No 5.

I know, but no other single charted (or was sent to DJs?), I wonder why.

I could see this entering Billboard Club charts... I still wonder why the Golden era never hit this chart, when Kylie used to be so popular in it. It feels like Kylie's new label doesn't care about US clubs anymore.

Thanks for the link! It's fun! Is there an official release plannned?

It's amazing that "Lexicon" has made it to the iTunes top 100 in France, Germany, Spain, Australia, Canada and the US. Will has never had a big hit in any of these countries, but he seems to have developed a small fanbase there.

Does anybody know why this remix was erased? I haven't heard it yet, damn it.

It looks like in Germany Madonna is going top 5, but only her debut album peaked lower.

I only bought Towa Tei's album because of Kylie. There are some albums I only bought because Kylie's on it, Nick Cave or Pet Shop Boys for example.

Since you mentioned 2004 as one of the two worst years I thought you meant this scandal, you can read at Wikipedia about it. So what was so bad about 2004 IYO?

I got a question about Australia in general: Do they pay to be in Eurovision? I'm not sure about my knowledge, so please enlighten me: Every member of the EBU (including Israel) is a paying member, so every country pays for Eurovision. Australia was a special guest once, it was invited again and again and again... What now? Still invited and not paying? Who would pay if Australia should win?

2004 had a voting scandal, but a good show. 2011 got one bad host out of three, but a good show, that's still better than 2019 with a superstar desaster and a voting scandal.

29 year old song makes it on this list?!? I guess we can thank Bridesmaids for that!

That's exactly how I feel. The album will be on my wish list for birthday and christmas, I really don't have the need to hold a copy of it in my hands right now.

I got a feeling that this year's Eurovision will go down in history as the worst of all time. In a few years when we talk about which year was the worst most people will say 2019 because of that Madonna desaster and the voting scandal. Before the final hour and the aftermath I'd say it was an on average show, but then it went down: Voting time was too long and it felt it was all about making money instead of giving viewers more time to vote. Running time for the whole show was too long, for the West European countries it might be okay, but for the rest it's too late. If I'd live in East Europe I'd tape next year's final because I wouldn't spent the whole night just watching endless interval acts until the showdown starts. Looking back Madonna was the best of the worst, because her performance was kind of funny, in a bad way, of course. The hype about her during the whole event was over the top. To be honest I'm getting sick of Jon Ola Sand. He's been Eurovision's Executive Supervisor for the whole decade and it's time to bring in someone new with fresh ideas.

I loved WKOF back then, but it's not one of her PWL songs I still listen to a lot. LGTI was kind of a strange album, at least when it comes to the singles. They were all different, but I think singles 2 & 3 were successful tries to save this era and wouldn't have released if WIO was a strong lead single. If WIO had worked, I guess Too Much Of A Good Thing and Right Here Right Now could have been follow-ups, Finer Feelings maybe, too.

I was the one who low-rated "The One" and "All The Lovers", hope it won't be the same with top 2.

"Looking For Someone" is the new single. Remixes will be released next Friday.

Amazing that this album is on top of the US iTunes right now, also in South America, so not just most European countries.

I didn't like this album very much when it came out, because my expections were pretty high. I listened to it again recently and I have to say it ages well. Most songs are beautiful, but it's sad they didn't have a killer track on it to release as lead single.

Do you think we get another single or is the In Stereo era already done?

Too Much was played on the radio in an hour of new releases last night. Does this mean it is her new single, at least a radio single? I listened to it for the first time on the radio and I didn't know who the artist was, but I thought it was pretty boring. I was shocked when the DJ said after the end of the song it was Carly Rae Jepsen.
