Kylie and David Guetta
My friend and I (who knows I'm a kylie loon) were chatting when some random David Guetta song came on (actually, the new one with Teddy Swims and Tones&I). And he asked me that how is it that David has collaborated with so many global artists (both big and small) but never with Kylie. I didn't know the answer (well, besides the obvious choices - it hasn't worked out, maybe they haven't found a song they've mutually liked enough to record together, etc.). But asking for my own curiosity - have Kylie and David ever met or recorded stuff that just didn't see the light of day? Or, is it they've never even crossed paths yet?

PinkPantheress x Kylie - Stateside
I came in with next to zero expectations and am walking out with a big smile. it's a nice song.

iTunes, Streaming & YouTube
IYE outpaces higher by 20K streams each day so it could very well overtake it by 2026 Q1.

PinkPantheress x Kylie - Stateside
Wonder what though - a reworking of Kylie song (like real groove w Dua) or a PP song?

Confessions II ● 15th album
Same, but probably also because her songs have become more self indulgent and preachy. Madame X was an absolute mess.

Why is Padam falling on spotify streaming? It's been ages since it crossed 100K plays a day

What Kylie song do you intro your friends to?
Loads of my mates know I love Kylie - some aren't music listeners and the few that listen to pop only know CGYOOMH. When friends ask me to send them a few Kylie songs to listen to, I send them: Confide in Me All the lovers Spinning around Breathe BTDYK Padam I kind of not suggest Head at the get go (it seems obvious). I don't because whilst it's a great pop song, catchy as crabs , to me a Kylie song is more fun/pop/emotopop like ATL or SA (or even more recently, Hold on to now).

Discuss the Kylie/Dannii song you are listening to
It's been ages since I heard Dan's. I've recently been playing a lot of the 1st 3 PWL albums, especially Got to be certain, Turn it into love, and the singles from both EY and ROL.

Has Kylie ever played at Wembley Stadium?
Yeah, but I think my question is - at the peak of her career like Fever, why the touring company/record label didn't think of Wembley stadium? She was massive then, i remember ticketmaster going down due to demand of her shows so surely she could've easily filled up 2-3 dates at W Stadium.

Has Kylie ever played at Wembley Stadium?
Yes thanks, I just did!

Has Kylie ever played at Wembley Stadium?
Has she? I’d easily imagine her selling it out during he peak Fever era, or even during the Les Folies tour, so I wonder how she never played there in her career (I’m assuming she hasn’t). How come? Is it that she prefers the arena style size for he setup of her shows or her/her record label didn’t have the confidence she could sell out stadium?

Light Years ● album discussion
Even a top 10 would have been amazing, I don’t think even Kylie fans expected it to be no1. And the record too “2nd female after Madonna to have a no1 in 3 straight decades”.

Jason Donovan
I know he's not a Minogue sibling, he just slept with one :P But as his early musical career was so closely aligned to Kylie's, I thought I'd start this thread in the Kylie and Dannii forum. What are our thoughts on Jason's debut album, and the best selling UK album of 1989? I happened to give it a listen the other day and it still sounds amazing. I'm one of the few that isn't fond of both "Nothing can divide us" and "Too many broken hearts" but rest of album just gives me that nice warm fuzzy of the late 80s PWL. My favourite will always be "Everyday I love you more".

Kylie Singles Clash- 2 Oldies but Goodies
You're right! Lucky, her first UK release got that "special TOTP video" where she drives around in a car in Sydney Then, for GTBC they played the video (that's the time she was wrapping up Neighbours and relo'ing to London) Then her maiden TOTP was Locomotion.
-
Light Years ● album discussion
The moment (was it mark Goodier?) announcing SA was the UK no1 and they quickly interviewed Kylie! I’ll never forget. To me, more than the song itself, it was the context.
-
Kylie Singles Clash- 2 Oldies but Goodies
Her TOTP studio debut was Je Ne Sais, if I'm not mistaken. It was quite something seeing Charlene in a local British studio!
-
Kylie Singles Clash- 2 Oldies but Goodies
From the early Charlene era, "GTBC" and "Wouldn't change a thing" are my 2 top favourites. And perhaps "Turn it into love" would be a 3rd.
-
What was the first Kylie song you've ever heard?
Lucky, obvs. I didn’t even know Locomotion was her first ever single. In fact I heard the original 1987 Aussie release that was less poppy only in 1994!!

Hate to rain on others' parade but hated it then, hate it even more now.

Tension Tour ● general thread
The reviews have all been glowing. In a lot of ways, critics are finally coming around to admitting her living legend status and how she’s managed to sound so fresh and current through so many years and generations and still packs in arenas.
-
Tension II ● album discussion
I wonder if she has any promo lined up for the tour. Like the odd interview or something.

What UK records does Kylie hold over Madonna?
I definitely see her getting a 6th decade with a UK no1 album. We're kind of half way through this decade, so even if the label slaps another GH album with 120 variants, a #1 is assured! :P Unless the album chart undergoes a massive change.

Tension Tour ● SPOILERS thread
Seattle venue was almost full. I read that 9K out of 10K seats were sold, and it definitely looked packed to the rafters, so to speak. Without sounding over aspirationa: I was hoping SF would sell out so much they'd announce a 2nd date. KM's team probably thought the same which is why they had a 3 day gap between SF and the Seattle show. Regardless, I'm very happy at the massive success of her arena tour, and at this stage of her career. I see her again in Manchester!

Tension Tour ● SPOILERS thread
@aeroco : curious, which are the “less popular USA dates” you’re referring to? I thought overall she sold all venues well?
-
Tension Tour ● SPOILERS thread
I'm really hoping she changes up the setlist for the UK leg. And more nostalgia, less DJ Alok and EOSN. I'd assume more generations will show up for her UK tours unlike NA where it's largely LGBT who would lap up the latest dance tune.
