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.

Thanks guys! Very helpful.

Promise this isn't meant to be a Kylie vs Madonna thread. My mate asked me the other day and these are the ones that came to mind: only female artist with at least a #1 album in 5 consecutive decades Two million selling songs in the UK (Madonna hasn't had any, or just 1. Am I wrong)? CGYOOMH and LAFS broke airplay records in the UK, Madonna has never had a "breaking airplay" kind of song Not exactly more, but Kylie has almost had the same no. of top 10 albums like Madonna.

Basketball game, not (American) football. Football season runs Sept-Feb. The reason this wasn't known back then is because they didn't know if the team would make the playoffs and if the playoff game (they play 7 in each divisional round) would be scheduled "home" or "away" (when the game is scheduled in the opponent's base).

I caught her in the Seattle show (I was supposed to in Vancouver, didn't work out for other reasons). Great show overall. She was very overwhelmed by the arena size crowds in the USA, I don't think she'd ever have imagined she'd be filling up arenas at this stage in her career. she was emotional and speechless at times. Song request was Tightrope. I saw banners asking for "All i see" and "In my arms" but for some reason, she elected to do RBW instead. Odd choice. Overall, the concert was great. Plusses: balanced setlist, great crowd that knew a lot of her songs, some songs sounded great live (like the DJ Alok song, EOSN, etc.) and this is the first time I'm seeing Padam live, and it truly is an iconic song! HOTN is also great live. Not so good's: They've cut corners on the sets. It looked a bit cheapo to be honest, but then again she's such a charmer she doesn't need fancy sets. I wasn't a fan of all the fashion choices, esp the last but one act (Head, ATL, etc.). Support act - Rita Ora is truly sh*t, no wonder even Kylie didn't bother thanking her or inviting her on stage at the end. All in all, a great day and I'm sure Kylie has the confidence she can come back to the US for more promotional work or touring.

Good for talentless she-man Ellie Goulding. She milked the Calvin cow whilst it was still giving!

THIS! When she's working with every other dj in town, I wonder why she isn't going back to Calvin. At least a UK top 40 hit will be guaranteed!

Sorry to be debbie downer here but she's looking more plastic than usual here. She needs to work on her makeup to not look so glossy.

I think that’s the first time I’ve heard K use the F bomb lol

I love it. It's lite throwaway pop, not the most memorable but catchy enough - exactly the stuff that has consistent streams these days as it reaches out to a broader audience. In a way, I think of this as a mini Dance Alone (not tune wise, but concept wise). DA too still pulling in 35-40K listeners a week which is amazing.

Wonder if he'll grace one of her S American shows!

Hello LM gang, I don't post here very often, and this is a bit of a random post. "No" (one of my favourite LM songs) played randomly on my spotify, and there were the 2 lines ( see bolded) in the 2nd verse that didn't make sense to me. Do I interpret it as "You're the only one remaining on my list (of people to go after/get even with)"? I was sick of being a prisoner, living under your thumb (thumb) So now it doesn't kill me, better hurry up and run (run) I like to try to dim it, but I rise up like a phoenix So when all is said and done (done) And you're the only one I know, completely random post but I've been thinking about this line since yesterday (hadn't paid attention to it all these years).

I watched some clips and loved it. Yes, “basic” but that’s kind of head I wanted. Not every show has to be a Vegas style spectacle like Aphrodite was. I can’t wait to sing along to “good as gone” Wonder if she’ll make any changes to the USA set list?

Good thing is these days, it’s not unusual to have a 2 year old song (or even a 20yo song) suddenly become a hit. Ask Imogen heap!

Not "all she cares about" But she's a savvy business woman (which explains why she's remained so relevant all these decades, the longevity is remarkable for a pop artist) and is aware of importance of both commercial and chart positions. So, the record label is able to see the biz opportunity in continuing to invest in her.

Lights Camera Action.... getout!

Streams?

Plus, even outside of just kylies reportoire, Certain and Turn it into love are 2 VERY well constructed pop songs they for me have stood the test of time

I went for the firsts : such nostalgia for me. Our Charlene became a singer, and how!!!

I agree that it’s a very much “in the moment” album like Aphrodite was to me, but I’m good with that. I’ll enjoy it FWIW for as long as I can. With T2: pretty obvs that Kylie needed some extra noise when announcing tour dates and saying it’s a Tension re-release with new set of tracks wouldn’t have given her the attention that a “new” album brings. However, if she’d given it a whole new title/campaign, it may not have received the best reviews or attention, as people would’ve said that it sounds very much in the Tension genre. Most importantly, she was after the records. She knows she’s within striking distance of Madonna if not Taylor Swift. And she might as well try to bag as many records of UK number ones for as long as she’s creating music and has the opportunity..

I realised I've played T2 way way more than T1. Whilst T1 had more stellar individual songs, T2 just flows so well as an album

It’s such a catchy song : imagine when she sings it live

Depends on how many seconds it’s for, the scene, etc etc. Im not expecting a lot. She’ll probably be in the background singing for a few seconds and that’s it

I just heard the whole album again (minus LCA and collabs), it STILL sounds so good. Consistency is key!
