My ranking:

Slow
Can't Get You Out of My Head
Confide In Me
Better the Devil You Know
I Believe In You
Spinning Around
Padam Padam
All the Lovers
Hand On Your Heart
Into the Blue
I Should Be So Lucky
Say Something
Some Kind of Bliss
Word Is Out
What Kind of Fool (Heard That All Before)
2 Hearts
Dancing

Everything from All the Lovers-upwards are 10/10 classics. I listened to all her lead singles back to back earlier this week and it's shocking how poorly Dancing has aged in only 5 years. 2 Hearts was such a bizarre choice for the lead single considering the wealth of amazing songs Kylie recorded for X (including the b-sides and unreleased songs).
 
For the most part, Kylie has a bulletproof collection of lead singles, and she chooses the right song. The only ones I'd swap would be Some Kind of Bliss for Breathe, Word is Out for Do You Dare? and 2 Hearts for In My Arms.
 
My ranking:

1. Confide In Me
2. Better The Devil You Know

Gate Times have ranked Kylies lead singles including Padam, I know it’s all subjective and somethings have to be near the end but poor Into The Blue and Word Is Out.

https://www.gaytimes.co.uk/originals/kylie-minogue-lead-singles-ranked/

Also, was Sparks not released on iTunes at the time? I was obsessed with it and knew every word yet I didn’t have a record player at the time and I’ve never really been one for leaks etc so im thinking it must have been released officially somewhere.

You arrive at #7, see BTDYK, start syaing "how can it be possible ? BTDYK so low ! Unbelievable!" then PP, SA and so on (not to spoil) and you really know Kylie is that singer ! Amazing discography!

I do wonder what our general consensus would be in an official rate, but anyways my rate:

1. Slow
2. Confide In Me
3. Timebomb*
4. Can't Get You Out Of My Head
5. Padam Padam
6. Say Something
7. I Believe In You
8. I Should Be So Lucky
9. Better The Devil You Know
10. All The Lovers
11. What Kind of Fool? (Heard All That Before)
12. Hand On Your Heart
13. Spinning Around
14. Into The Blue
15. 2 Hearts
16. Dancing
17. Some Kind Of Bliss
18. Word Is Out

*Listen, I’m counting “Timebomb” as it has a video, (digital) EP with remixes, and was the lead up to the K25 Time Capsule boxset. *manicure emoji*
 
A lot of her second singles are incredible too so I'm looking forward to what's next.

See: Step Back In Time, On A Night Like This, In Your Eyes, Red Blooded Woman, Wow, Magic

Her second singles are nearly always better than her leads, I even prefer In Your Eyes to Can't Get You Out of My Head to be honest dd

I'll be here all day trying to rank the leads but one thing I will say is I've always thought Confide In Me is absolutely fantastic, one of my favourite Kylie songs ever.

Just an offhand comment unrelated to the conversation at hand to say that Padam (and associated discography listening this week) has really highlighted Kylie94 as one of my top Kylie albums. It never used to be, I'm very much a Light Years onward fan as that's my age range but dipping back into that album now at 35...it's just clicking!

I'm obsessed with how 'Where is the Feeling' sounds like a direct precursor to Light Years.
