BREAKTHETENSION

At the end of the day, nothing from DISCO will be remembered in 10 years, Padam is a mega hit and has raised Kylie’s profile to the highest it’s been in years. The numbers aren’t the best, but this era will stand the test of time.

Padam re-enters on Spotify at #40. NYE party hit confirmed!

In Scotland we aren't getting the repeat on Boxing Day, it's showing on New Year's Eve instead at 10pm

Hopefully BMG will learn from their mistakes this era (there’s been a lot) In general, I do wish Kylie would go back to a major label.

#75 is what the album deserves for these half baked extended versions, awful artwork and a cheap cash in. Glad the superior Tension is safely top 40.

I’m not impressed by any of extended mixes really, Padam and Hold On To Now are by far the best, but it’s a low bar.

My HOTN CD single and cassette have arrived along with the 3 7” vinyl’s. I even got my first Tension album cassette. So I’ve done my bit this week :lol:

It does look alright, but I just can’t get past the fact they’ve made her green :lol: I’m not going to reward mediocrity by buying this! Kylie really needs a new creative team.

Weirdly, Hold On To Now (Trance Wax) is #56 on Amazon Music (Unlimited)

I’ve got everything arriving on the 8th December. Im guessing it will be the same for the majority. Is HOTN even playlisted on Radio 2 yet?

I’m not going to the Vegas show, but if I was I’d be pissed at the recycling of mixes. This should be a completely new show for the astronomical ticket prices.

What a classic! Can’t believe it’s still not been certified in the UK though, surely must be close at this point.

Yeah the Extension cover is awful! And is the first item I’ve not instantly pre-ordered this era. I’ll probably end up buying on release week though :lol:

True, negative opinions shouldn’t be policed. However, when it’s the same negative opinion every week, it’s then trolling.

Great result for the album in the UK and a great album by Troye. I think he’s also showing that a music video can still be effective promotion in 2023, all 3 videos have created buzz online.

Most likely OUT next week, I predicted 5 weeks top 100 but it’s looking like 4. It’s hurts as it’s a great album, but that’s just the way the market is right now. When it falls out next week hopefully BMG kick into action.

Padam has been removed from Hot Hits UK after 147 days, end of an era! Wonder if we will ever see a Kylie song on there again :lol:

Completlely fan fiction, but I wonder if Kylie has secured one of those Amazon exclusive Christmas singles and this is why SB has been removed from playlists.

This is the same conversation going round and round, yes it’s sold less than DISCO, yes the chart run is disappointing. But as has been said 100 times, the market is down, physical sales are dead and almost every album (outside of Taylor) is experiencing a shorter chart run. Please release another single so we can move away from this boring conversation.

Can we just appreciate how far Kylie has come on streaming this era, these are the Apple Music peaks for Tension vs DISCO era.

I noticed Spotify have removed Kylie’s Santa Baby from Christmas Hits (the biggest Christmas playlist on Spotify) it’s been replaced by Madonna’s Santa Baby :lol: I would expect a big drop in streams this year.

Tension has done its bit, a top 20 peak and 6 weeks in the top 100 is great for a Kylie single in 2023. At this point, I’m not bothered about remixes. New single ready to go in November please!

Those streaming sales are rough!

We’re acting like DISCO and Golden were million sellers, 180,000 copies is not unachievable. It just takes A LOT longer to get there now. As Carol says, let’s see where we are in two years. I also believe Tension will have higher trickle sales than DISCO and Golden. It’s week 3 of the album being out, let’s just enjoy that and see what BMG & Kylie have planned. There is a lot to celebrate with the Tension era.

Considering sales are SO low these days, surely a prime time show dedicated to Kylie would provide a re-entry into the top 10. Hopefully they have a new vinyl and single to launch around the time of the show, which would help.
