I love this Prada song

Yes. and I won't say no. But I don't think she needs any major promo in the gay market circles. She's an established legend. More mainstream promo would be better.

Yes. I didn't buy a single PP item other than on iTunes and don't see myself buying any Tension CD or cassette or vinyl (if/when released)

Honestly, way better being beaten by a current chart force like Drake than when she got beat by a dead George Michael's live album with KMO!

This is all getting so exciting! I still say she'll be 17 or 18 tomorrow but anything top 20 is amazing. I can imagine how great the writeup will look = 2 more top 20s in her 5th decade!

I do predict top 20 assuming there's a few hundreds to be added. For this song, I'm ok even it doesn't have the chart longevity as PP as long as it gets a good peak position (which, it looks like it will - top 20). As far as singles go, they're only meant to be ambassadors for the album so I doubt the chart books care about the run or longevity.

I was going to say the same. She easily beat Little Mix when they were at their peak, and for an album (Disco) that had ZERO radio and streaming support.

Kylie is in Paris today promoting on 16/20 RFM radio station.

#21 is a good position for Wednesday. Wow, never imagined we'd see 2 Kylie top 20s in 2023!

For Kylie standards, lack of uk promo is a bit surprising. I understand there aren’t a lot of tv shows right now to promote on, they’re saving key spots for the album, avoid over exposure, etc etc but still, I was hoping for a few more radio rounds, etc. So far all we’ve gotten for Tension is the bbc r2 premiere and the Zane - apple interview, correct ?

Also seasonality counts right? PP came out right in time for summer - Tension is coming at a time when summer is ending and perhaps people aren't streaming as much with return to work, return to school, etc.

I honestly can't believe we're talking about TWO top 20 hits from a Kylie album in 2023. And as someone pointed out - with no flavour of the month features. It's INSANE in the best possible way.

non-mover at 19? That's impressive! Top 30 looking guaranteed then?

Midweek position 19

I’m looking fwd to listening to the sruthi version. I liked the song although it’s generic dance, nothing too special. I reckon this song will REALLY divide Kylie fans but it seems generic and lightweight enough to get some mainstream love

I can imagine the video to be a new confide in me - several Style Kylie’s

Should’ve done a proper Fri release. Anyway I’m hoping a top 30 debut next Friday

Kudos BMG, pulling all the stops for this era. And the fact that ITV also granted her one shows they still see her as a heavyweight

So is it safe to say that PP missed that Hot 100 bus? Any updated usa stats?

This was such a funnnnnn interview. I enjoyed it so much. She came across as so confident, so aware of her multi decade success and very witty, and real. I chuckled at the whole Harry styles and Elton John section. “What more bad news do you have for me!” :D :D lol

Agree! I even wonder how if it’ll chart at all given it was primed as summertime anthem and Usa is kind of gearing up now for autumn (back to school, etc etc)

Tell me about it. He, ella and Becky Hill. At least the ladies are tolerable.

That IS amazing!!

Thanks!

How are things going in the usa? Hasn’t it been a week since it was sent to radio?
