BREAKTHETENSION

I quite like the new Miley song, it’s a shame nothing has really stuck for her after Flowers. River, Jaded, Easy Lover and Walk Of Fame all deserved to be big hits.

Last year it was revealed that Amazon Music have a 27% market share in UK streaming, which really surprises me as Amazon Music is awful and easily the least user friendly app.

Finally the Rein of terror is over! Although it will probably still be top 20 this time next year! Also sad to see Ariana go to ACR, but it’s had a long spell in the top 10, so glad it’s not over staying its welcome.

Kylie’s fan base or rather her fan base that are collecting Kylie’s physical releases is 95% gay men at this point, I don’t want to generalise all gay men, but I have no interest in this release and haven’t bought it, so I’m guessing others also felt the same.

Madonna confirmed during one of the release parties there would be no music video’s this era, just the Confession II film, so I wouldn’t expect a music video. The Bring Your Love music video was just taken from the film and extended. Love Sensation wasn’t even in the film, so they’ve nothing to work with. Hope Kylie doesn’t go the no music videos route for her next album

Thank god they got the CD’s out last week or I don’t think this would’ve got anywhere near top 10 any other week. Meh, it’s nabbed Kylie and Madonna another top 10 and a load of headlines, so it’s done it’s job, it doesn’t seem to be connecting with the general public at all, so I think it’s done.

I really like the Love Sensation remix and loved them performing it at Amsterdam Pride, but I don’t know it all feels a bit low key, a Madonna + Kylie collab (finally) should have a music video and they should’ve just waited till the CD’s were ready for full impact on release week. And like everyone else has said why was the superior Radio Edit track 2, it’s just madness.

Happy for Shakira. She will join Elton, Kylie, Madonna and Britney in the “Didn’t think they would get another top 10” club this decade.

What a result for Madonna. The album is incredible, in my opinion there’s only been 3 albums that have felt like huge moments this decade when they were released, CONFESSIONS II, RENAISSANCE and BRAT.

Not to compare, but Kylie’s DISCO and Tension also did 29/30K in there first day and both cleared 50K end of week, so hopefully the same or better for Madonna.

I don’t know what I want from KM18. I love Impossible Princess, but it was a very different time in Kylie’s career and as we know very commercially unsuccessful, I don’t see Kylie taking huge risks at this stage, when she has built such a solid foundation as an album seller. I would like to see Kylie try something new, mainly work with new people, try new sounds. Get an executive producer and make a really cohesive album like Aphrodite. I love all her work with Biff, Duck, however I do think the well is starting to run dry. If there was an album sound I’d personally love Kylie to revisit it would be Body Language.

Agree with Magic’s placing, it’s always baffled me that Magic is one of Kylie’s most streamed songs on Spotify and continues to get decent recurrent streams.

If 2026 is the new normal for the charts then I don’t know what to think. It’s becoming more and more obvious there needs to be a separate chart for songs older than 3 years.

I completely forgot about “Can’t Stop Writing Songs About You” don’t think I’ve listened more than once, but it’s correctly ranked.

I was 1 when What Kind of Fool was released, so I don’t have any attachment to it and would never go out of my way to listen to it. I do feel though, if it was released in 1988 it would’ve been a huge hit for Kylie, it was just released 4 years too late. But i suppose Kylie could’ve released anything in 1988/89 and it would’ve been top 5.
