Hot take:

Kiss me Once was great, as great as Golden and Disco, it was just released at a time where vinyl hadn't really took off, Kylie wasn't hungry and buying multiple formats of the same release only became a thing the past few years. If it had the same treatment as a release it would have sold 70,000 first week and be considered a classic / great album.

I like Kiss Me Once, but it spent a total of 5 weeks in the top 40, which is probably a better judge of popularity, it had no staying power. Multiple formats really only impact the first weeks sales, so it may have opened with higher numbers but it would have still dropped down quickly. Disco has already spent 5 weeks in the top 20.

They/Them
Kiss me Once was an album that felt like nobody tried. The songs were watered down Kylie by numbers tracks that lacked the usual life and fun of her music. Only a few songs felt fresh. Kylie seemed over it for most of the era, Parlophone had NO idea how to promote or sell her in the streaming age and the public were a bit bored of her too and not enjoying the look or sound of the era.

If she had stuck to the sound that she wanted to in the early stages and gone a bit more gritty and electro then it might have been different. I don't know if the public would be there but I think Kylie would feel more energized and that win more people over.

Hmm maybe you have a point, maybe the market was more saturated back then?
Anyway

My CD + Signed Print from Chalky's finally arrived today....bent in half. I'm fuming. I know there have been a few members who's prints were damaged as well, was Chalky's able to do anything about it?

DISCO is one of GQ's albums of the year:

I am a millennial, meaning Kylie will always be a disco-pop chanteuse to me and no one can tell me otherwise. But whereas her 2000s hits had something of the future about them, Disco is entirely nostalgic: it’s Soul Train, it’s Electric Light Orchestra, it’s Jamiroquai. It’s camp in the way all great pop music has to be: existing outside of the fashions of the time, impossible to contextualise upon impact.

In a year of disco-as-aphrodisiac, Minogue has served us a meteor shower of up-tempo dance-til-you-suffocate hits that drag queens will lip-sync to for the next 50 years, and DJs will play at weddings until you’re too old to get up and dance at them. From the vocoder fantasia of “Supernova” to “Where Does the DJ Go?”, which feels like a spiritual successor to her magnum opus “Your Disco Needs You”, this is holistic dance music that cements Kylie Minogue’s position as the great equaliser. The queen is well and truly back. DL
