Kylie Minogue’s DISCO dances in at Number 1, sets incredible Official Albums Chart record

I take it you haven't read the Madonna thread on that vile website.

I'm a big fan of Kylie but not a big fan of the album "Disco" BUT there are at least 6 decent tracks out of the 12 of the standard edition "Say Something" is nice even though it doesn't have a proper chorus until the last minute of the song, "Magic" is charming. And true "Supernova" is the REAL big hit in there. Quality wise it's very close to the quality of the "Fever" or of the "X" era.

But "Real Groove", "Where Does The D.J. Go" and "Celebrate You" are quite good too. I'm not too found off the rest of the album though to be completely honest. I think all the songs sound the same (it's the pleague of the 2020 albums this year : Chromatica of Lady Gaga has the same problem : all the songs sound the same). And the bonus tracks of the deluxe edition are no exception to that rule, this time.

I would have liked a more energetic album but "DISCO" is a decent effort and it's number one place is well deserved. Even though the album is not perfect, it's still quite good and enjoyable through and though nonetheless. Never since her Stock/Aitken/Waterman days have I heard one of her albums like this where I cannot name a bad song on it.

I completely agree, but for me the first 8 tracks seamlessly flow and seem very varied in sound/feel; the only two tepid tracks for me was DJ and Unstoppable. My only gripe could be, I wish some of the tracks were extended to give it a little more life

At least as far as albums is concerned, Kylie is arguably at the most successful part of her career, having 3 #1s in as many years and still on top. Madonna hasn't achieved that. I don't think many have.

Hilarious! I'd hardly call Little Mix competition! And she had to promo HARD for this win! Like, face on every channel! Plus the amount of formats for this LP are just mind boggling! She only has 8 uk number 1 albums and 2 of those are greatest hits collections!!! 🤣 Madonna is a GLOBAL act sweetie! Madame X may have only sold 58K in the UK but that was without airplay or extensive UK promo and she came up against a legend on fathers day, Bruce Springsteen... she is and will remain these islands favourite and biggest seller! 13 number 1 albums (6 that have shifted over 1 million each!) and THIRTEEN number 1 hits!. Kylie anybody???? Enjoy it while it lasts! The chance of Kylie claiming another 6 number 1 albums to beat Madonna is very very slim! And lets face it, Golden was a rip off of Madonna's Country style album Music, and Confessions is a rip off of Confessions. Madonna will return with another stellar long player, it certainly wont be anything as predictable as Disco... even the title FFS! Bland!

You're a tool.

Bothered??

didnt you say you like kylie?

uff! thats really old stuff. and childish ...

madame x wasn't promoted, because she knew it was a thundering flop by her own standards!

confessions is a rip off fever, you mean! after american wife flopped, madonna ran back to dance and the abba sample saved her career

Madonna never left electro pop! American Life sold 8 million world wide and peaked at number 1 in 21 countries. Kylie could only dream! And Fever ripped off Madonna's Music album, kraftwerk sample and all! Confessions was a disco pop odyssey. Global too! As for the ABBA sample, stay pressed! ABBA like the rest of the word knew a global megastar would do it justice, its why they never gave it to bargain basement Kylie!. As for the fever tour it was a blatant copy of Madonna's groundbreaking Drowned World tour! Before Fever Kylie could barely fill theatres in her home made frocks!

And Madame X may not have peaked at number 1 here but 12 others have, and it did in 13 countries world wide. More than i can say for Kylies last flops! Same old same old, just the Uk! She hasnt landed a studio album at number 1 in each decade either, like Madonna! Of Kylies 15 studio albums only SIX have hit number 1! Of Madonna's 14 studio albums, TEN have!

Kylie is a local act who follows Madonna's lead. She is no threat to Madonna's 315 million album sales! 😆

blah blah blah...kylie is quite content being a local act! madonna totally lifted the confessions opening future love+i feel love from kylie's fever tour! even beyonce copied her iconic opening! LOL...

Madonna fans are insecure, hysterical and wont stop at attacking anyone who come close to their old queen

A disco ball and a robot? Only a stupid Kylie fan could make that connection! But then William Baker Kylies creative director and longtime Madonna fan did say recently that Madonna's blond Ambition tour inspired LOTS of his ideas for Kylie who could only manage mass touring from 2001! The opening act from
blond ambition was inspired by fritz langs metropolis, which william later used as inspiration for the opening segments of her Fever tour and the dull X tour! Ah yes the discofied skull, and ball scene ripped off from
madonna's confessions tour & Girlie show tours respectively. Kylie doesnt create her tours, others do! Madonna is responsible for 90% of her visual output. She doesnt need a creative director

Madonna is the queen of never giving credit! thats why...

If she had her way, her album/tour credits would read
vocals, backing vocals, all lyrics, production, engineering, remixes, dance choreography, tour concepts, stage design, lighting, sound system, photography, make up and styling by madonna and no one else

Silly boy! You've obviously NEVER seen one of her tour documentaries or read the written accounts of Stuart Price or William Orbit her previous musical directors. Madonna uses tours as a vehicle to convey her messages and creations, she directs them. Tells a story. Its the same blueprint used by Kylie and countless other acts. Its well documented in her work ethic and by her co collaborators. Kylie is directed. She didnt even come from a musical background. She has zero connection to music or theatres roots! She was a soap actress. Manufactured by a pop production stable. Shes benefitted massively from the path Madonna laid for her and countless others, using her ex producers, creative designers and even photographers. Its why Madonna is the biggest selling female artist and touring artist of all time. Not local act, Kylie. Sorry!

Yes! Her retarded pressed fan base? No. Bitter because she's lived in and been compared to Madonna's shadow most of her career. She only has herself to blame.

? who? kylie? believe me: fan-bases are always a bit retarded ... using childish arguments making their misguided points ... madonna-fans are not different ... but senseless discussion ..,

yes, madonna invented concert stage touring with 4 acts and costume changes. even micheal jackson, u2, pink floyds etc were inspired by madonna. Pity about her live singing though..

Pink Floyd were Rock, never incorporated segments, acts or costume changes in their tours at all, pretty much the same with U2 & Michael Jackson. Rock. Their tours especially in the early days were never used as a vehicle to sell a theme or image or anything other than an album. Lighting, a band maybe pyrotechnics. They were purely functional in support of an album. Madonna with Blond Ambition, and to a lesser extent with 1987's Who's That Girl Tour, changed touring and its format forever. She segmented her productions, brought in 'acts' as you would in theatre, she incorporated costume changes on a major scale, and used this platform to convey a story, transport you to another place. Tell me, what did Kylie entering the stage on a giant skull for her X tour mean exactly?? What was she saying? Nothing! The song she sang as she sat alight that thing had no connection. No meaning. But i can tell you why Madonna entered the stage on a Crucifix, in a cast iron cage or inside a confessional booth! They represented something and deeply connected to the song she was performing. That is the difference! I can also tell you why she decided to tour smaller theatre's on Madame X. Because it reflected the albums intimate nature! Or are you going to argue with pop culture icons such as Rolling Stone, Billboard and other acclaimed critics who already cite Madonna as the bluprint for modern tours. Madonna is a legend on a global scale, in her own right. Deal with it. You've had long enough

Theres only one singing Budgie, the queen of autotune Kylie

kylie riding the crystal skull was her conquering cancer. madonna riding crucifix was needless religious provocation.

even madonna's PR team wont write defensive thesis like you. Madge should put you on her payroll on minimum wage and confer a PHD on madonna studies! LOL

LMAO! Conquering cancer?? She was singing an awful song called like a drug.... Live To Tell was a song about child abuse, needless religious provocation? So you are happy with the 'needless' scandal of child abuse within the catholic church?

Madonna only released 3 studio albums or compilations during this past decade (and yes they all got to #02 in UK but did achieved #01 in many other countries and 2 of them were Global Year End TOP 40 albums).

Kylie is doing amanzingly in UK lately and I hope it continues. I'm still disapointing how unfairly hight the streaming points are in the charts and how her singles despite peaking #02 and #04 on UK Single Sales Charts were not even TOP 40 Hits on UK Official Singles Charts. I'm sure that her singles made more money than some Official UK #01 songs based on streamings as streaming pays really bad and streaming based chart units count sometimes 1000 more than single sales that earned the same amount of value (it's insane this huge gap and makes no sense except if labels want to control charts as 80% of streams come from huge public playlists controlled by music labels!).

Streaming ratios probably reflect the right proportions. Singles chart is effectively a streaming chart these days such is it's dominance. Almost nothing sells physically (or even as download) for singles any more. Streaming is about 600:1 on chart ratios (depending on format: video/audio) and if it's on ACR or not.

It wasn't Madonna's ex-producers that made Kylie, it was Stock-Aitken-Waterman, both in production and promotion for 6 years (1987-1993)

They created the manufactured pop star everyone loathed and media outlets mocked! In a bid to rid herself of this tacky image she turned to Madonna's producers to give her edge! Have you not read Pete Watermans biog or William Bakers?? You Kylie stans are still delusional even after 30 years! 😂 she owes her survival to Madonna. The rest is luck

I've read both Pete's and Mike's autobiogs. No Kylie biogs of any kind. If Madonna's producers are to credit with Kylie's career after PWL / 1993-1999, they almost killed it. By far her commercial duldrems. I'm not sure they are responsible for the commercial failure of that period. That's probably too much credit, but one way or another 1993-99 was her lowest point commercially. If there is anyone to thank for her continued career it is probably Cathy Dennis, Dawn Shadforth, or as you say, William Baker, and I honestly don't get why she (Kylie) still has such a career either.

Although both artists' best work was before 1992 and wouldn't bother me if her career ended there. As above, the main reason Kylie is on my radar is the same reason long forgotten acts like Brilliant, Spelt Like This and Carol Hitchcock are! And slightly less forgotten acts like Bananarama, Dead Or Alive and Rick Astley.

I bought a few in between, most recently Golden. There were too many very expense other pre-orders for me this time, but I will get it.
