That's typical record label thinking right there. When you're ignored by a particular country, then they suddenly catch up and totally get you for the first time (or first time in ages) the major labels usual response is to follow the bouncing ball, try and do what the foreign market does better, and lose sight of what made them take notice again in the first place.

Forgive me if this has been posted weeks/months/years ago but it's fresh to me!
A DJ somehow acquired the stems to Sparks, and here is the result. A not perfect mix, but my gosh, GIVE ME THOSE STEMS!

I remember being litreally shocked when I saw her perform Better Than Today on the X Factor. I thought she was going to give Get Outta My Way that big last push! The era really did fall apart didn't it and it's a shame because it's probably my favourite "pure pop" Kylie album. It sounds lush, layered and expensive at all times. At least we got the tour!!
They/Them
Everything went to pot as soon as the album came out. single dates moved and pushed back, wrong choices being made. You name it and Parlophone buggered it up.
Red Blooded Woman being performed on Letterman and an appearance on Ryan Seacrest's TV shows was about the extent of the Body Language promo in the US. It's a shame that Carson Daly was booted from TRL because during the Fever album cycle, she made regular appearances on the show and her videos stayed on the countdown for weeks. The show's re-tooling meant she lost MTV's support.
She gave us more during subsequent album campaigns:
With X, she performed on Dancing with the Stars, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, The Ellen Degeneres Show, and appeared on Today.
For Aphrodite, she performed on The Tonight Show, Dancing with the Stars, America's Got Talent, and popped up on Talk Soup, and Fashion Police.
She also did Dancing with the Stars for The Abbey Road Sessions.

I have no idea about its UK chart run, but I assume that "Get Outta My Way" was long dead by November when she did The X Factor. Considering she'd been promoting "Get Outta My Way" since July, it was a smart move to cut her losses and move onto the next single. The choice of follow-up single though...
It’s funny people say that but I don’t think it’s true either. It may be influenced by R&B on the charts but it is just way too over the top in its presentation to have been played alongside other R&B tracks.
I actually think “Chocolate” is probably the most “US-geared” of the singles. It’s a sleek, laid back, r&b track.
And originally featured a rap by Ludacris.

Capitol should've re-added Ludacris onto "Chocolate" to see if it'd have any impact on the Billboard Charts, but I guess that they abandoned the album campaign after "Red Blooded Woman" failed to chart.
I want to make a tracklist of unreleased Kylie tracks from KM94 to Disco (one per era). Can someone tell me of there’s been a single Light Years solo track that wasn’t released one way or another?
Biff posted a DAT tape of the "Please Stay" sessions on his insta a while back that had a few unreleased song titles
