This is so amazing! All this purely on the back of one CapitalFM STB perf and social media promo!!

It’s all about Germany. Once it picks up there - the GSA and Nordic markets will pick it up in no time

Came here to say the same. Merit aside, PP has gotten the general public talking and noticing, something very difficult for Kylie’s music (and even more so in 2023). So kudos to PP in that sense, in breaking the Barriers

She’s on a plane from MEL to LA as we speak (pictures in daily fail)

I’d kill for an ROL re-release esp if we get a few unreleased tracks and new liner notes

She’s been running the art institute really well over there is what I heard, and almost has demi-celebrity status.

Which ones hasn’t she performed in the TOTP studio ? 1. I should be so lucky 2. GTBC 3. Tears on my pillow 4. What do I have to do 5. If you were w me now 6. Put yourself in my place 7. Where is the feeling 8. Kids 9. IYE 10. LAFS 11. Giving you up Of course tthe show closed in 2006

It would be a massive hit in dubai!!

I don't think she or BMG really care about the Australian chart as other than a stat, it doesn't mean much commercially or in terms of influence. I'd read somewhere that she even had her bmg contract written in a way that she doesn't have to promote unless out of choice. Reason she did things like sydney pride was because she was paid damn well. Other than that, her Aus promotions for albums are extremely limited these days (esp where she has to sing) other than the skype/Zoom style interviews.

I've rarely seen 2nd singles of pop acts do incredibly well in the US in this streaming era unless you're a Taylor Swift or something. So I guess, like in the past, they'll let the USA enjoy PP whilst the UK gets single #2.

That's impressive. I was hoping for a 11 or 12 but 14 still isn't anything to feel bad about.

As much as I 'd hate for Kylie to get dropped from any playlist and would want the whole world playing a Kylie song all day long...... but with the whole PP - UK radio airplay story: it's comforting to know that R1 isn't as relevant as they thought they were - rather ,I thought they were as well. There'd be times I'd wonder "oh no, poor klyie not getting playlisted by R1. Flop single" kind of thing. The week she gets dropped from R1 and moves down to B list on R2 is the same time frame she tops the UK airplay.

I'm surprised it hasnt picked up in Germany yet!

Yep, that’s what I meant: since 2000/parlo comeback when she showed Pete and the world that she can make a fabulous pop record without the PWL sound. Even prior to spinning around when it was announced that she as making a pop comeback after the “indie days”, i remember Pete bragging on telly that “of course she’d choose us to produce her big comeback”.

It's no PP. PP was for a lot of reasons and luck and timing and all - a MOMENT. Doubt any Kylie song can repeat the success and hype that PP brought. That said, it's a strong follow-up and will hopefully convince the borderline fans to cross the line.

I compared GOMW to Tension earlier in that , they don't sound the same but they have more than just 1 hook. In Tension - a bit of it reminded me of Rita Ora "ritual", a bit reminded me of Jazzy's Giving Me, there was a bit of Kylie's dreamy voice and stuff going on..... just a perfect cocktail of so many hooks.

Yes, I read that too. Where I was going with my earlier comment is that - it doesn't seem Tension is into creating a theme or amazing Kylie moments like Dancing and SS but focused more on commercial appeal and catering to what's hot on the chart at the moment.

You never know - it could just very well sneak into the top 10 again come Friday!

Only after her 2000 comeback and when he realised she can truly make it without him, and that she was as instrumental in their success as they were for her. Till then he was always mean and bitter and thought she’d be nothing without him. Now he’s just riding on her success.

Aah yes GOMW did polarise fans somewhat!! Tension kind of seemed like a clone of several current pop songs but has that Kylie signature as well. Overall if these 2 songs are anything to go by, looks like the theme is generic club bangers but with the “Kylie sound”. Agree that SS is one of her strongest songs to date

I hear ya! Not sure if the record label wants to release a single centred around K wanting to masturbate lol

I'm confident Kylie will be top 15. :)

Agree. We happen to be Kylie fans and are plugged in to everything-Kylie and so assume PP has taken over the USA. But I live here and I haven't heard anywhere. Even shows like "Watch what happens live" is a very niche show w niche audience. I suspect PP will ensure Tension goes top 20 but that's about it. Having said that - I'm happy to stand corrected if indeed, PP takes off on radio starting official radio add date.

It's interesting.... with the earworm song that PP was, and the Pride angle, I would've thought they'd have cashed in to make it go guns ablaze and fire up the UK chart but looks like BMG's strategy is more a slowburn. I'm sure they have their reasons and I'm fine as long as it's in the top 20 and being played on chart countdown shows. Just interesting strategy, that's all.

Is 22K a good number?
