It just seemed too amazing to miss. We live in Scotland so would be flying down, at least for 2 concerts it’s…more economical??

I’m really looking forward to the Hyde Park show, it’ll be the first Kylie gig since Golden I have attended and into double digits for the amount of times I’ve seen her now which is just nuts.
Like @Cowboystyle said above I'm never any less exited no matter how many times I’ve been to her gigs, and because this has been the longest gap I’ve experienced between her last show to the upcoming, and how much I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the present and previous albums/eras, to put it simply I’m as ready as I’ve ever been for Hyde Park. Also really glad fellow PJer @Chris-Jae Is coming too with my partner & I.

So today marked 20 years since the release of this gem of a single:.
Loved it then and still do.

We can’t get Kylie out of our head and now we know why…
Ahead of being awarded the BRITs Global Icon accolade this Saturday, PPL can exclusively reveal that Kylie Minogue has amassed 230 million seconds of UK radio & TV airplay in the 21st century, the equivalent of being played for seven years straight. The phenomenal ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’ makes up one year alone, almost 20% of Kylie’s total UK airplay.
The success of recent viral sensation ‘Padam Padam’ is clear, coming in at number 12 with less than a year of airplay under its belt and already overtaking big hitters such as ‘Come Into My World’ (14), ‘Slow’ (16), and ‘I Should Be So Lucky’ (17). ‘Padam Padam’ makes up 2% of Kylie’s total airplay and has already been broadcast for over 4 million seconds.
1 Can’t Get You Out Of My Head
2 Spinning Around
3 Love At First Sight
4 In Your Eyes
5 Kids (with Robbie Williams)
6 I Believe In You
7 All The Lovers
8 Wow
9 Red Blooded Woman
10 Better The Devil You Know

Justice for Red Blooded Woman getting into that top 10 there! Guess much more radio friendly than Slow in hindsight.
How is Slow so low? It's one of her most recognisable videos, surely it would have got a lot of TV airplay over the years?
Surprised On A Night Like This wasn't in the top 10 too.

Listening to this makes me realize that "Toxic" ended up in the right hands with Britney Spears. The juxtaposition of Britney's lower register during the verses and her falsetto during the chorus is what makes "Toxic" what it is.
During the time of Body Language, Kylie was all about her upper register, which wouldn't have given the song the light and shade that it needed.
Fixed that…..
Oh, yes - Toxic absolutely went to the right person. I don’t think anybody could’ve sold it like Britney did.
I thought about going there...but I was going out for the afternoon and decided against it!
If she was a troll she’d do Padam Padam in full three times with a bit of CGYOOMH.
I thought the same but I wonder if radio switched to "Kids" quite quickly at the time (only a month of difference between their release) and also "On a Night Like This" probably doesn't get much love from those stations that replay the oldies (crumbled into dust when I typed that) from 20-25 years ago for being a bit heavier dance and it probably doesn't get much play from the equivalent dance stations for being too pop.
That said, I'd put money on it being #11 on that airplay list.
Speaking of Kids, it's funny how the release of that single was a Robbie one in all but name. The album version from Sing When Your Winning being used plus all B-sides on both CD singles, were Robbie only tracks. I guess it was because it was his label that handled the single release, but shame it was nothing Kylie related for her fans too. Aside Kids itself obvously.
I think it would have been nicer to have a Kylie CD and a Robbie CD where each artist had their own b-side and/or remix and brand aesthetic on the artwork but I suspect the Official Charts Company would have split the sales. But also, from EMI's point of view, Robbie was a superstar, Kylie wasn't one (again... yet) and Robbie had regular massive single sales under his belt over the previous few years - "Rock DJ" sold 199,000 in its first week compared to "Spinning Around" on 82,000 and "On A Night Like This" with 51,000. Kylie's sales weren't particularly stellar until that single in 2001. Making it a Robbie lead single makes sense from a mid-2000 perspective.

Didn't think of that, guess that was perhaps the main reason. May have peaked lower than #2 if they had done.
It would have been #1 if they released it a week later than they did - they'd have beat Steps by about 7K, giving Clare another single release week to moan about.
Never knew that! Kylie really could have easily had another another #1 in that case.
