With most people WFH, hopefully her breakfast slot tomorrow prompts more streams and purchases as one last push. My Deluxe from Amazon UK isn't dispatched yet.

Interesting... I find it hard to believe. Perhaps they're just hoping on streaming now? I'm surprised, I'd have thought their label would have tricks up their sleeve too .

Yes!! Btw was she supposed to do some Breakfast promo today as well on BBC?

This thread should be made a sticky, lol

LOL! Poor Kyles! It's times like these where you need a more b**chy all-balls-out attitude like Madonna! "of course I'll be #1" :D

EXACTLY! And she's built such good will after the Golden and GH/Glastonbury moments in the last few years. Public love her, all they need to hear is record - kylie - disco - "5 quids on amazon" or something! Anyway she has promo both Wed and thurs so fingers crossed.

As long as she mentions the new album, and perhaps tells the fans that she's got signed copies coming :D Jokes aside, I was hoping the UK media would focus so much on the record (5 decades thing) that it wouldve given her enough publicity. who are the 51K that bought Bruce Springsteen's albums? I thought by now K would've also built up that kind of audience. I am worried, and I really don't know how to call it. LM will beat her on streaming, but let's face it, they're hardly Ariana Grande. Hopefully K fans, who are of an older demographic have more money to spend and buy more physical CDs and downloads. How come Amazon hasn't dispatched my Disco Deluxe yet?

Hey Liam! thank you! So Disco *IS* doing well then!! Sadly, I'm sure iTunes tracker isn't much of an indicator these days given a few yrs ago...but still, very happy for K!

Last Chance

Completely agree.

As much as it might piss off those that paid, how fabulous would it be if this were televised on ITV for that last push before sales close 2359 on thurs!!!

Thanks Pippa. Pardon my bad, bad, memory....but do you recall it being this way for her other releases as well, Esp when she had competition - like KMO/George Michael's album? I think GM had overtaken her by day 2, right?

Me too! More Dua Lipa than Hideaway. Great song! Loving the vocodering!

I couldn't attend, but everyone I've spoken to that did, and also online reviews/forums have been nothing short of glowing! This era is so amazing...Shame the vaccine isn't out yet, else the tour announcement would've followed !

Also, again, Kylie-loon speaking here....but I'm quite surprised and amazed that she's held on to iTunes for 3 days in a row! I thought she'd have fallen by now. Both versions in the top 10. And Disco #1 on USA itunes too. Wow! 3 days in a row!

I haven't heard Confetti, although I did like all 3 singles so far. But gosh - Disco.... I'm obviously biased as I'm a Kylie loon, but this album has been one of the most consistent since Fever 2001. Every single day, I have a new set of favourites. My current is "Real groove", Supernova and of course Dancefloor Darling. And I love "Last chance" too.... don't know why some loons are losing their sh it that the chorus is like Voulez-vous. Isn't that a good thing? ;) I so so so hope she nabs the #1 this week. Not because Confetti is bad (I haven't heard it yet) or that I don't like LM (they're quite alright!) . ... I just think Disco is a brilliant record and deserves to be #1. ;) Also, is it just me or is this the first time that even the traditionally salty reviews by the known culprits have been glowing about Disco? I'm yet to read a single bad review.

What were Bruce Springsteen's most recent #1 album sales? I'd like to think Spotify and such wouldn't have helped him either? I want to say Kylie just because she'll have a big physical market and unlike Bruce, actually has a rabid fanbase that would buy a signed CD in every colour just to get her to the top, especially if they know whom she's up against. Are there any "get K to #1" campaigns going on in SayGay?

I'm surprised at Mabel album not being in the top 40. Given the extensive radio airplay she gets, you'd think she's the new Dua Lipa and would translate into sales as well.

OK, I chose CIM but this was so so so hard!! Both are perfect pop songs, and seem to sound better with age.

Lets get to it in the KM'94 style looks fabulous!

Agree. Both records have grown in significance since release.

I can never forget the day I heard "confide in me". I was blown away. It remains an amazing pop song, and one of my favourite k songs to date. If anything, I was surprised at how poorly it did in the UK charts (2-4-6-15 - out of top 20). I was expecting a #1 (well, Wetx3 were at the top then), but at least a few more weeks in the top 10 and more sales. Same goes for PYIMP (missed the top 10). Was Kylie just not popular enough those days? I can't think of any other reason why 2 solid songs (CIM and PYIMP) wouldn't do that well!

Did Kylie ever do a studio appearance for "I should be so lucky"? I am aware of that "video" she recorded exclusively for TOTP (where she is driven around in a car in Australia). Likewise, she didn't do a TOTP perf for "Got to be certain" as well, correct? (that came smack dub during her last few days on Neighbours).

I doubt they'll work together again. Problem is - Calvin knows the $$$ is with newer, dare I say "younger" and more radio friendly acts. He and K did wonderful tunes together... shame some weren't higher successes but that's life.

I randomly came across "Audience with Kylie" during the Fever era. It'll be great if she can grab an ITV special during the holiday season. Although, I firmly believe that SBIT did its job (of raising her profile and good will), and she should use this good will to record and promote a new studio album pronto.
