  1. Totally. Even outside of popstars - when you talk to event mgrs, hotel staff, airport staff, airline cabin crew, etc they only have the nicest things to say about her - how normal, professional and grounded she is. To me, personally K is a role model in that she’s self aware of what she’s good at (and not good at) and works very hard, consistently so to make up for it
  2. Honestly, I don’t think they thought this would take off so much so soon they’d probably saved all the plush uk promo slots for the album release
  3. Would be great if Dan can score a top 40 hit as well. Does the charity angle help these days?

    It's just such an exciting time to be a Kylie fan! I visit Buzzjack once a week for less than an hour.....and now I'm visiting this forum EVERY hour :D
  5. Good point! Although the album is 3mo away so they could get away with 2 ;) I miss the good ol' days!
  6. I don't think anyone, inc. BMG expected this kind of response to PP. Kudos to them for pulling all the stops on this unplanned success. I'm honestly surprised she doesn't have any UK slots lined up though. Back in the day, a new Kylie song meant that the UK would get its 1st radio play, 1st big interview, 1st live tv perf, etc. etc. I understaned she's relo'ed to Oz and all and can't just drive up to a radio station like before. But from a business perspective I'm just surprised she hasn't prioritised her largest market.
  7. Like all have said, a 2 or 3 single release (like the 2000 days) would be a great idea. The real challenge is which week to release it (perhaps when it’s already top 15) to give it that boost.
  8. What are the diff levels of capital fm playlists? I’d like A list the best?
  9. #22 or #23 Then any promo or a surprise physical single CD release should push it into the top 20
  10. In all fairness, UK is a way bigger and more influential market than Oz. Kylie is a very proud aussie and all, but I'd guess even she pays more attention to the UK charts!
  11. Is that review for real? I’m sure his Desc of the songs is but from what I heard, Kylie wasn’t there for the full listen and certainly wasn’t in the middle of the room and chatty. Either way album sounds like fever part 2 and im so excited!
  12. It’s so good, got such ethnic vibes!
  13. I’m one of the said 2.7m!!
  14. A kylie top 4o hit as she turns 55, in 2023. Back in 1988, did any of us ever imagine our Lene would last this long!!!

    The 7 #1 albums being: Red, 1989, reputation, lover, folklore, evermore, midnights and the 2 re-releases, so total = 9.

    Taylor album question: she's had 7 UK #1 albums and 2 re-releases (Red and Fearless). So for stats purposes, is it counted as 9 or 7?
  17. yeah, I asked her and all she said was "it wasn't in English" and said it maybe French or Polish or E European (and I'm thinking wth - french sounds so different from the other mentioned languages)
  18. Thanks! :) Yes, she said it was dance'y. My mate doesn't have too much exposure to European languages so all she said was 'it wasn't in English"!
  19. Thank you all but apparently it's none of the above.
  20. Thanks, but apparently it’s not. She has more info on the video: “ This song video had a story. More of it is coming back to me now - the three women singers standing near different monuments in Paris were singing about someone's tragic life. The guy n girl broke up, then the guy died n became an angel with dark wings n then something happened in the ending. Don't remember tht well. Maybe the dark angel became good. It'll come to me sometime hopefully”
  21. Hi guys, Was at dinner with my friend and she's been trying to track down a song from, she says 2013'ish but I reckon it could be anytime from 2010 ( as she says it used to get played along with Edward Maya's Stereo Love). I thought of this forum first as you lot are very engaging and helpful. The only bits of info she gave me is that it's a non-English song (she couldn't tell more than that, like which language), dance/electronica'ish and the video features 3 women walking around Paris, she believes she hears the word "amour". I know it's not a lot of info. I scoured through the UK NOW tracklistings of that time but couldn't find any. Thanks!
  22. Iconic. Don’t care about all the other versions - piano or torch or acoustic balladry blah blah. It’s the golden original. I remember being so excited that Charlene was releasing a song, I fondly Recall the “video” K had made for TOTP (her singing in an open roof car in Sydney), and then in 2005 when she did the original at showgirl tour….. seems as classic then as it was in 2005 as it is to this day.
  23. I still love it. Like SA, Confide and BTDYK, it feels like such a Kylie signature song. (Note: I’m one of the few that doesn’t consider CGYOOMH as a Kylie song, but more an amazing song the Kylie sang).

    Any hope Cat Burns will ever get to no1? I loved Go, and as much as Sam smith annoys me, I loved the duet as well!
