Tension Tour ● general thread
Every single person I know is unable to get tix for San Fran as well. I reckon she’ll add a 2nd date there

Tension II ● album discussion
Totally agree. Unless there's some massive random promo planned.

Tension II ● album discussion
They’ll do enough to get it to uk no1 but this really has been a vehicle to promote the tour so I don’t see them releasing new singles and stuff after LCA. Kylie herself will be busy with tour prep and I’m sure even she won’t have time for more promo (unless a bit for usa).

Which Tension II song do you think you'll like the most?
I can’t wait for Good as gone. It’s giving me HOTN meets OANLT vibes.

PREDICT: Coldplay - Moon Music
Difference here being that Coldplay kind of played to the american taste. Songs like "Hymn for the weekend" are as American as they come. At least acts like Blur and Oasis didn't sell out to the American taste (granted, Coldplay sensed the commercial benefits of selling out)

I saw that and loved it. Capital do love Kylie!

PREDICT: Coldplay - Moon Music
Interesting how they continue to keep their albums no1 streak alive in the UK but haven’t had a US no1 album in a decade (and missed with the last 3 albums).

Tension II ● album discussion
So agree! I don’t know why they’re pushing it

Lights Camera Action ● 2nd single
Video hit 1M!!
-
Edge of Saturday Night ● The Blessed Madonna & Kylie
Bring C listed on R1 I get that it won’t be played a lot but I’m sure it’s better than nothing
-
Lights Camera Action ● 2nd single
The video sure has slower down. It’s not even 1M yet!!
-
Edge of Saturday Night ● The Blessed Madonna & Kylie
Have we seen an increase in streams or too early to tell??
-
Lights Camera Action ● 2nd single
933K video views on YT. It should come close to 1M by the end of a full week!

Lights Camera Action ● 2nd single
I would love to order but not paying that much for shipping!!
-
Lights Camera Action ● 2nd single
Video at 866K plays now. Should comfortably hit 900K soon and 1M by Friday!
-
Edge of Saturday Night ● The Blessed Madonna & Kylie
Good part is, even if they chose the "non-current" song (and not LCA), they seem to have taken this decision on their own which is a good sign and bodes well. Even if it's 2 additional plays a week, it's still better than nothing!
-
Lights Camera Action ● 2nd single
I still say that is a good number given this is her 5th release of 2024. The video itself is at 831K now so should easily hit 1M by Friday.
-
Lights Camera Action ● 2nd single
So, nothing extra ordinary but it's doing well enough. Should easily hit 1M by the end of the week!
-
Edge of Saturday Night ● The Blessed Madonna & Kylie
I'm so happy! This song is a slow burner but I do believe it will end up becoming one of her top 10 most streamed songs.
-
Lights Camera Action ● 2nd single
The video should close on 800K today. For a 5th release in 2024, that is VERY good!

Tension II: chart predictions
Kind of their fault for being greedy and not discounting when it mattered most, and made most financial sense.

Lights Camera Action ● 2nd single
Yes, she always has been guarded. These days, she's guarded, distant and seems uninterested, just goes through the motions. Even The One interview she did around Golden time (or SBIT), where they got the guy who plays Daniel Robinson to speak to Kylie....she was genuinely bubbly and so happy to be there. Post tension, she's sleepwalking through all the UK promo's.

Lights Camera Action ● 2nd single
She is physically going through the motions, no one said she's not been physically present in the UK. But for the Tension era, it really came across as a formality. There wasn't that genuine enthusiasm, affection and affinity she's had for the UK before. There's a reason she's an adopted treasure in the UK. Other Aussies have also broken the UK market like Jason Donovan, natalie Imbruglia, etc. but the UK hasn't taken to any other Aussie they way they have to Kylie. So I'm not sure why she comes across these days as literally a visitor to the UK on promo, unlike before where she was genuinely at home, happy and authentic on UK promo. I saw her on The One Show - her responses looked guarded and scripted (even the "aaw"s when they read out tweets about a 8yo boy and Flower, etc. for her standards, really looked fake). Again, I'm not saying this is impacting her chart positions or that she isn't showing up for UK promo's. It's just an overall observation I've had in the Tension era.

Lights Camera Action ● 2nd single
I was thinking of the same the other day and I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s noticed. The UK is her biggest commercial territory but she seems to distance herself from the uk these days, rather since she moved back to Australia. Earlier, she we actually get happy to be considered an honorary Brit, she had assimilated so well and that was endearing. She now seems a lot more aloof on British promo. Sure, the label did the pop up shop and all for tension - so the logistics are there, but she has a bit of a “I’ve made it in America now” since residency. Irony is, she hasn’t! I can’t say if that’s had anything to do with chart success, bur something I’ve noticed
