Almost 90% sure remixes will be bashed mercilessly as they’ll alter the original ‘je ne sais quoi’ that’s connecting with so many people. I’m sure they foresee that too. Hence why there’s no hurry. It’s a sensible decision.
Kylie Minogue - Tension
- Thread starter xOJakeXo
- Start date
Kylie's rose to #1 on the Independent Singles chart, debuts at #1 on the Physical Singles chart and continues her #1 run on the Downloads and the Sales chart. Up to #33 from #58 on Streaming.
It's why I haven't pre ordered the album yet, waiting for the signed ones
Investing in hats this year because after caving and listening to the title track snippet I think I’m going to be bald most of this winter
Her streaming is really gaining...
I detest cassettes so I have bought one to help towards the chart next week and possibly sell it on in a few months.
I think it's one of her best collabs too, and I've been obsessed with it. It's the Indiekylie etherealness to padams glossy modern sheen.
Give us a vinyl single!
Yeah UK only at the minute.
It’s great Kylie is number 1 on another chart but in no way is Kylie and Padam on a major label indie in any way.
The charts these days are nothing but a load of bollocks.
Next there will be a LGBT chart and Kylie will be forever more at number 1 here in the UK.
Cassette single looks hot!
Why don’t they do a “Padam Padam” video meme contest? Kylie could pick the best one (or three) and give them a signed single.

BMG is in fact an independent label. It was only set up in 2008, and is short for BMG Rights Management. It's a label services company. Yes it's got deeper pockets than a lot of other indie labels (besides XL Recvordings who have Adele and The Prodigy money to play with) but their business plan is to go 50/50 with the artists they work with. If BMG spends 1 million, then Kylie/Darenote spends a million, and they get an even split, rather than thetraditional major label arrangement where, for instance, EMI/Parlophone spends 10 million on promo without asking and then charges it to Kylie before she sees a penny in sales income.
You're perhaps thinking of the old BMG which merged and was then folded into Sony about 18 years ago.
He/Him/His
I am 43 years old.
I was seven when Kylie had her first hit single.
I'm hearing from people young enough to be my kids, who weren't even around/old enough to notice when Can't Get You Out Of My Head was released, saying that they love this song. What more do you think Radio 1 would actually do? You afford them more relevance than they actually have in 2023.
No one is saying the song would be number one on the charts if Radio 1 played it. But they are saying the ageism showed to female singers at Radio 1 sucks.
They/Them
Yes ageism suck, yes radio 1 suck for being anti women over 40, yes it would be nice if they changed. But in 2023 it is such a non issue. Kylie has managed to hit #12 in the charts, be introduced to a whole new generation of people and has seen a huge boost in her streaming presence. All of which would have happened with or without Radio 1. The fact she's done so well is proof of how little it matters.
It's not 2010 where being playlisted on Radio 1 was of the upmost importance and where their misogyny and ageism were at it's peak. The power of Radio 1 is so minimal, nobody really cares who they do or don't play. They are stuck in their ways and won't change even if they lose listeners, which they are. And even if Kylie made the playlist, it would be of little consequence anyway as the same people who listen to it would already know it from playlists on streaming.
