I’m obsessed with how you worded this, it’s sending me
Kylie Minogue - Extension: The Extended Mixes (Dec 8)

This really was the perfect choice for lead single. If Hold On To Now was meant to be the lead, can't see it getting as much attention as this somehow, despite it sounding great as well. It would be too similar to what leads we've had before.
Yeah this is solid as fuck, with a chorus that might not be winning any awards for originality but definitely won’t quit, and the spooky sexy vibe is very up her alley. I hope the whole album is a similar tone.
I haven’t been on for a while. But have to say Padam Padam is everything I wanted it to be. The sound is sharp, simple and modern - not playing safe but as always retaining Kylie’s DNA. To me it’s her coolest single since Slow and most instant since Can’t Get You Out Of My Head. Don’t get me wrong there have been some epic leads since that have become classic but in terms of a real instantaneous impact this is the one. I also think the video hits the spot well. No criticism from me. Now for it to become a genuine “hit” it needs the streaming numbers and/or a TikTok trend to catch on (the dance routine and the hypnotic sound would lend well to this). I’m not sure either will happen and tbh I’d given up on Kylie having any further singles chart success…. But wouldn’t it be nice if she bucked that trend! Only time will tell - but all lining up nicely for single 2 and the album. Team Kylie and BMG are not playing this time around - they mean business!
Padam Padam, really is the Kylie song, you just "can't get out of your head!"
he / him
This. Had Kylie led yet another era with another emotopop lead when she's already led three of her last four studio albums with an emotopop lead, I can't imagine it receiving the same buzz that "Padam Padam" is receiving. Whatever inspired her to get back into the studio and work with Lostboy is paying off now, imo. It's wild to think that the era might've started earlier and in a more predictable manner if it weren't for that late spark of creativity.
Yep, Padam Padam is the late result I think many of us, are truly thankful for.
She’s slid into my faves playlist
Given that this is still no 1 on U.K. iTunes, with good streaming and YouTube views (for Kylie), hopefully this can make top 75 on Sunday. I mean it’s not much, but I’m not sure the last time a female over 50 made the top 100 with a new song.
This is just really fucking good isn’t it? I’m addicted.
It's hit #1 on YouTube Trending for Music.
I really need this to go viral on TikTok. I want to live in a world where Padam Padam hits #1!
It's insane to me that they put that limp track out when they literally had magic in the form of A Rose is a Rose sitting there.

Chatting absolute shite
That would seriously be most welcome and at least something.
I've never listened to a Bebe Rexha song but agree that Padam could be considered quite understated as a lead single, but Kylie is so long in this game, a proper survivor of pop, that she can do this sort of thing and still prosper. It's cool too. It feels like proper Kylie to me in a way Into The Blue, Some Kind of Bliss, or 2 Hearts didn't at the time.
