I know we're only in round 2 but the T2 Survivor round is way harder than the Tension survivor series! with Tension, there were highs and then there were the low-lows. But with T2, it's a fairly consistent album (barring the collabs) which makes the choices harder. I'd stopped listening to Tension 2-3 months after release but still listen to T2 quite often.

Is PP considered a Pride or a gay classic now? Like ymca, I will survive, vogue, BTDYK, or does it need more time?

Awful then, awful now. Plus, culturally the PWL backlash had started (they had a big sudden drop in terms of chart entries between 89 and 90) so the song doesn't bring back the best memories

Sounds bizarre! Strategy that is, not the song! Either way, I’m all in for more promo, sales and streams

Both their peaks and their chart runs always baffles me. "all I wanna do" sounds so grand, even to this day!

From memory, I think it was: UK: Bruce no1, Madonna no2 US: Madonna no1, Bruce no2

I'm a bit soft to "Dance to the music" because it kind of reminds me of PWL in a good way. almost like in a 2024 way (if Pete was producing, this would be the sound).

Exactly, both have fanbases that have invested in the said artists through the years. Yes, on the UK chart it's kind of surprising that both 2015 Rebel Heart and 2019 Madame X didn't get to no1. Kylie, post-Golden has been really lucky by signing to a record label that knows how to milk the fanbase's spending power ;)

Random thought: at the time (2010), I genuinely genuinely thought this song would be bigger than its peak. I recall Kylie wasn't arsed promoting it. And despite the Kylie versions being sent to European and Aus radio (whilst USA got the Travis McCoy version), Radio 1 etc decided to play the Travis version itself.

So true. Infact, was talking to a friend about Madonna's new album (whenever it's released) and if she still has the UK fanbase to buy enough physicals to send it to no1 given she hasn't released a studio albums in over 5 years. Again, this comment wasn't meant to be a comparison or anything, just a casual thought that came up that I thought I'd share.

"Edge of Sat night" finally hit 10mil! I'm surprised that My Oh My isn't picking up streams considering it's fanbase of 3 artists, 2 of whom are younger than K and I'd assume have fans of the streaming generation.

It just randomly played on Spotify the other day and it sounds SO good! 1.5 yrs removed.

Congrats to Higher : 100mil streams! 3rd Kylie non-Xmas track to do so. IYE coming up next at 95mil.

I’m the culprit who voted for LCA as I find it most annoying on the album, even more than my oh My. I always start T2 at Taboo.

If the idea of a Bebe duet was bad, this is even worse. Kylie should Collaborate with hit makers in 2024/25, not has-beens

Let’s use this thread for all updates related to the upcoming interview I wonder if she’ll still be talking Padam and Vegas residency, or something else

Who's still totally addicted to "Someone for me" and "Good as gone"? I listen to each at least 5x daily.

Had this been another new campaign for a new album, and it was performing the way it is now, I would’ve been disappointed. But from the beginning, I have seen this album as a bonus – instead of being a bonus CD, it ended up becoming a number one and getting her into both the headlines as well as the record books. Which is my way of saying, even if the album had sold a lifetime total of 200 copies, I would still call it a success.

Because frankly, in 2024: a 1989 Kylie’s value would be higher than a Rita Ora or dido (who are featured in the video). Or even Olly Murs for that matter

I’m aware that theres a big thread on one of the other forums about BA40. My q is Kylie related: How come Kylie or for that matter, any footage from Band-Aid 2 hasn’t been included in Band-Aid 40? They only seem to have included the 1984 2004 and 2014. Is there a contractual issue or is it that Band-Aid 2 featured mostly PWL artists that perhaps they don’t feel like showcasing in 2024? It’s almost as a BA2 never existed.

Yep! Every single word Jessie wrote!

I'm still surprised it went top ten in Australia. It's not often she's had an album peak 4-5 positions higher in Aus than the UK

Wonder why Parlo won't cash in on her current profile and release it in 2-3 different versions?

Apologies if this has been discussed already but what is going on wrt singles from 53? Is it all done or any rumours of a new single/vid?

I wonder if the business woman in her wants to squeeze one last time out of it
