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!

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.

So, nothing extra ordinary but it's doing well enough. Should easily hit 1M by the end of the week!

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.

The video should close on 800K today. For a 5th release in 2024, that is VERY good!

Kind of their fault for being greedy and not discounting when it mattered most, and made most financial sense.

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.

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.

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

35!

35 in Monday's midweeks

This. But also kind of reminds of me of Madonna in 2012 during the tour announcement and mdna album. I think both Kylie and her label are very happy the tour is selling well, and she's getting enough spots on radio and TV to promote the tour (in the guise of talking about the new song and album). Plus, I don't know how invested the label is in this album, the fact that its a sequel and not a new campaign/sound says it all.

The YT views seem to be ticking along nicely. Should easily hit 600K in the next few minutes which is quite good!

582K YouTube views on YT. 80K less than EOSN’s lifetime!

I doubt she’ll be top ten!

Video closing in on 500K views

About 367K now after a full 24 hours!

I was thinking it would be at least top ten. My only consolation is that many times, the #1 or #2 listed songs don't make the chart. So a bad placing position doesn't mean much

Seriously, WTF???

TBH, and I hope I don't jinx it with my cockiness, but she has an established UK fanbase of rich middle aged gays that'll lap up all the formats and ensure the album has big opening numbers .... so in short, I feel very confident of a UK no1. I'm always on the fence as far as Australia goes. Her last few albums have all hit Oz no1 but as a country, as much as they now love and promote Kylie, the chart predictions always seem a bit tricky

Where did you hear it? Still not found the full song, pls mesg me with the link if it's floating around somewhere, thanks in advance. I agree it's an improvement over MOM. Big big improvement but I still think EOSN is something else! It's a kylie-beast mode we've never seen before!

I'm expecting a top 5 on UK NMF as well, here's hoping! It's kind of interesting - Kylie's songs generally tend to chart higher in the UK than Oz, but she seems to get higher placements on Aus/NZ NMFs! Already up to 15!!

I caved in and heard it. I think I like the verses more than the chorus! The voice delivery again is fierce and also kind of playful in a 90s Madonna kind of way. It's no Padam (but which one is?). The song is catchy and commercial enough that had this been recorded by a "flavour of the month" artist with streaming numbers and radio support, I can easily see this going UK top 3. Given the "limitations" an artist like Kylie faces, I still say with the right promo, NMF placings and physical release and all, this song still has top 20 potential. Again, no Padam (I don't see it going viral) but it's catchy and fun.

I'm still undecided. Very unfair for me to jump to conclusions based on a few clips we've seen/heard so far. But even with a the 10-15 sec music snippet of Padam, I was way way more excited than I am for LCA. Time will tell, literally 2 days'ish to go.

If LCA were released by a 20yo whom R1 would playlist in a heartbeat, then yes. But age and radio airplay are against Kylie, sadly.
