Kylie Minogue scores highest UK chart position in more than 10 years with Padam Padam

Then tell that to Kylie's fans instead of directing it at Madonna's alone. We didn't bring it here, Kylie's fans did. Let's wait and see what happens tomorrow when the charts are announced. I'm willing to bet my house they'll be bashing Madonna if Kylie goes top 10.

She is indeed Damian! Hopefully next Friday!

One has sold 400 million albums ww and the other wishes she had sold that... go figure

Hilarious is your comment! That's not true, it's just your humble and hilarious opinion.

Madonna is the best selling female artist in the world!
Over 400 million album units until the end of 2022 worldwide!
No other female artist is even close!

Madonna have 13 #01 Hits, 63 TOP 10 Hits, 68 TOP 20 Hits and 72 TOP 40 Hits in UK Charts making her Female with Most #01 Hits, Most TOP 10 Hits, Most Top 20 Hits and Most TOP 40 Hits ever in UK Charts - and none is even close!

On TOP 10's in UK Kylie is 2nd having 34 TOP 10 Hits...

Madonna sold around 25 million albums in UK - that's almost twice as much the 2nd best selling female best selling artist in UK (Kylie is 5th now with over 11 million album units sold).

Madonna have 4 albums that sold over 20 million units worldwide each (very soon will have 5) being those 4 albums among TOP 100 best selling albums of all time in the world.

Like it or not Madonna have many good albums, some even EXCELENT - as 1989 "Like a Prayer" was considered the best pop album ever made by a female artist by worldwide critics and as 1998 "Ray of Light" was also considered the best pop album ever made by a female artist by worldwide critics.

Madonna 2005 album "Confessions on a Dancefloor" is still on Guinness Records for being #01 in 40 countries official charts (the most ever for any artist - male, female or groups) while "Hung Up" is still on Guinness Records for being the song that was #01 in the most countries official charts among all artists too (41 countries).

I love Kylie too but she was never on Madonna level - especially worldwide.
She does have some amazing songs too (including "Confide in Me", "Where The Wild Roses Grow" with Nick Cave and "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" among others).

idk how sale numbers make their music good but that’s nice for her 🗿

Even my mum and 12 year old niece love this song.

Stop taking your meth please. Talk about deluded! Lol if it IS a cultural phenomenon world wide then the world wide charts that matter do not reflect your personal opinion. And its rather pathetic it took a last minute addition to her new album, to be noticed outside the UK. Its rather cringe tbh

That's nice!!!

But once again, she isn't the Queen of Pop and never will be. Let's see if Kylie can better 31 monthly Spotify listeners and score a top 40 hit when she's 64 (along with other streaming elixirs) - WORLDWIDE and not just in one country. lol

Kylie’s monthly Spotify listeners are growing and once Padam Padam take off in the US you will begin to see her streaming grow. I’m certain Kylie will be having hits long after 64.

IF it takes off, which is highly unlikely. Her monthly listeners only increased by a million since Padam came out. If you think she'll better 32 million within a matter of days like Madonna did, you're obviously deluded. Kylie having hits at 64? lmao.I In your dreams.

It isn't a competition between the two of them. Grow up and allow other women to be platformed alongside Madonna. She'd hate you for slagging on Kylie to make her seem better.

Lmao. Kylie fans trying everything to hush the detractors. It wasn't Madonna fans that started it this week, but you're right, there's NO competition whatsoever since Madonna is a much bigger artist worldwide with more hits to her name.

Loved it! I'm also a hyper Kylie fan since day 1! So happy for this moment!!

Growing???? Lol so is your nose

I've never tried to suggest Kylie is bigger than Madonna. I like both artists. That's a thing that can be done. Madonna wouldn't neg on Kylie. They admire each other. I don't see why either side has to be so immature.

So why quote me? I'd have a morsel of respect for you if you said something to the moron who started it, but since you didn't, it's pretty obvious you're not as impartial as you make out.

I didn't see the rest of it. I just saw you slagging off Kylie to big up Madonna. And not for the first time on here. It's so pretty on both sides. They're both great in different ways. Raise them both up. Zero need to drag either down.

So basically, you were jumping in before getting your facts right. The other person was slagging off Madonna yet you said nothing to them. Why?

Just ignore the troll it's too weird and it's the same routine on here every time.

again, kylie isn’t the queen of pop. but she’s done incredibly well to get this far and i hope she’s happy as you are <3

It's a shame legacy artists don't get more exposure. The songwriters probably wish hey gave it to a current artist.

Yessss...absolutely!!!

Believe hit number 1 in 39 countries, Kylies single will barely scrape the top 10 in just the UK official charts....

I'm actually really surprised by Vulgar and I think that's because it's mainly Madonna and not him. It will be interesting to see if she manages to go top 10!

Agree. Pure streams too. I just wish it were longer with some mixes and a video

And FEL spends its 28th week on the chart, becoming the longest charting remix album.

Its spent over 30 weeks

It’s only spent 8 weeks in the top 75. Nothing to really foam at the mouth in delight over

Peaking at #3. How long did Kylie's remix album spend on the charts? Oh yeah 2 weeks (peaking at #28). lol

Abbey Roads is a re-recording of some of her biggest hits which spent 9 weeks in the top 40.

Kylie outsold Weeknd/Madonna on pure streams.

A pity about it's longevity compared to Madonna's remix album. lol

lmao.

8 weeks in the top 75 yeah such longevity pmsl 🤣

The UK chart goes from 1-100, not 1-75, so 28 weeks. No need to look at other pathetic trolls spewing wrong information. lmao.

The official charts has always been top 100 but only top 75 was used outside of the music industry. The many chart books have always used the top 75. Selling ten copies to re-enter at no 97 is nothing to brag about.

Hey this is a news story about Kylie, not weird old madge.

Now where have I heard that before? I' don't give a fk what the chart books say. Like we've told the other troll, this website goes from 1-100, not 1-75. Keep trying though.

Chart stats focuses on top 75 always has. The only troll I see is you darling

and yet the OCC goes from 1-100, not 1-75. Go complain to them, but don't be surprised if they tell you to "F-off" in polite terms.

Kylie isnt in any streaming charts, its sales are purely physically driven which is why her management released 3 physical formats/digital. World wide it has 1.5 million streams. Madonna's Popular received that in one day from US streams alone. Kylies old fan base dont stream.

Nobody knows Kylie. Its flopped outside the UK

FEL has spent a total of 33 weeks on the UK chart and now holds the title of longest charting remix album in UK chart history besting JLo 3 weeks ago. Disco Guest List edition flopped, hard!

Madonna achieved this with No new music and no promo with just 6 formats. Kylies last studio efforts and that hits compilation (her 8th!!!) benefitted from new music, mass promo and over 35 formats between them. Kylie is just churning out albums in a bid to beat Madonna's number 1 album tally. Its a case of quantity over quality as elsewhere she continues to fail musically

Its the album 100. Are you thick???? Ah yes... a Kylie Minogue fan, figures

It spent 33 week on the Album Streaming Chart.
It spent 28 weeks on the Official Album Chart.

Its spent 33 weeks on the official album chart in the UK. How else did it break J Lo's record? Its spent longer on chart than all Kylie preleases since Aphrodite

You silly nobody. With 85 million records sold and selling out concerts globally for 35 years, I think KYLIE is pretty well known. LOL

"Selling out globally, Pretty well known"? lmao. In your dreams. If she was global, then how come she's never been on the top 20 list of highest-grossing concert tours of all time in the last 4 decades? Madonna makes the list five times with different tours, Kylie doesn't even make one appearance lol. You must be extremely dumb to think you can spew any lie without anyone questioning it. Oh and Madonna's sold 400 million records - a far cry from Kylie's 85 million. lol

Frankly, you just sound weird and jealous.

Jealous of a women WAY LESS successful than Madonna? In what way does that make sense to you?

What a pest - go away creep! #BLOCKED

@jack korn-hole Get a life, freak. *BLOCKED*

Hopefully Popular will be in the top 40 when Vulgar is released next week. 2 top 40 hits aged 64 is incredible.... shouldn't be, but in todays ageist market its a real
achievement. No physical formats, no remixes of either tracks... pure streams and she just surpassed 31 million listeners on Spotify too.

Pity she didn't release solo singles and have hits. Popular is in the chart mainly due to The Weekend and features Madonna. Vulgar what a load of tripe and doubtful it will be top 40. When she has a solo hit then you can brag. Number 12 and done on her own merits 😂😂😂😂

Pity you have to be so negative rather than praise others achievements. You don't have to diss one because you like the other.

You look about 50, is this really how you spend your life?

And Sam smith is not the streaming giant they think he is. Even the recent song with Ed Sheeran only managed 80 something. Calvin Harris couldn’t give him a top 20 hit. Well let’s wait and see.

Maybe take your own advice. People who live in glass houses and all that.

Get a life, you sad sack of .

I’m not the one endlessly commenting. Perhaps you should also take your own advice hun. It’s a great life when Queen Kylie is having a massive hit. A great time being a Kylie fan. It’s even taking off in the US and I’m certain it will enter billboard charts top 100.

Er, you were the one that started it and now you're scuttling off. lol.

I’m just finishing it love. When did Madonna last release a solo hit song? It seems so long. I would say hung up, when was that again? Three decade wonder. Poor Madge.

At least I'm not to frightened to show my face lol frightened you'll scare people 😂😂😂😂

"I'm just finishing it". lol. That's interesting, I said exactly the same to another Kylie troll on Twitter yesterday.Maybe it was you. Last solo song was Living for Love, hon. Or are you going to say 26 isn't a hit? If you do, that'll make you a complete hypocrite after you praised Padump Padump for going in at the same position. Besides, Imagine thinking the UK is the be and end all of the music industry. lol

He's bigger than Kylie will ever be.

If Sam Smith isn't a streaming giant, and Vulgar is a hit, that means it'll be due to Madonna's involvement. Thanks for clarifying.

On her own merits??? At least Madonna has A listers begging to work with her unlike Kylie and her band of Z list rejects... jack Saviretti anyone one, jessie ware? Didnt exactly light up the charts did she

Her management company must be bankrupt the amount its cost them in promo and formats! Lol and i dont see that novelty song anywhere in the streaming charts world wide. It dropped off the Australian charts in a week. The success of Kylies single in the UK only is largely down to a platform Madonna pioneered last year and a paid for leak plus paid for memes... outside the UK its just another flop for Kylie. Meanwhile Madonna is heading for yet 2 more top 20 singles. Seethe old gay

"Seethe old gay"
Sorry Jack, I've been laughing for the last fifteen minutes at your comment. Funniest thing I've seen all day!

One day you'll be fifty. Have a bit of respect.

Sad we currently live in ageist world.
No matter what Madonna does even breathing is wrong for some people
Madonna released bonafide singles like Ghosttown, Living for love, Girl gone wild, I don't search I find, Crave, etc but somehow it wouldn't put a dent UK chartwise.
Vulgar & Popular will chart eventually, how high or low remains to be seen?
On Popular it was The Weekend who asked Madonna to team up and not the other way round, also he expressed his desire to produce a classic album for Madonna, it's all over the internet.
Who aporoached who on Vulgar, I don't know?
But at least Madonna is coming back to the charts even if its through the back-door.

Im stunned at Kylie stans delusion.... this novelty record comes on the back of serious pay for promo in the UK. It is literally flopping everywhere outside the UK. 😂😂😂 who cares if it made the top 20 in the UK?! Madonna is a decade older. Will the singing budgie be headlining a global world tour with over 31 million followers on streaming and top 40 hits globally when SHE is 64?! Lol

People barely know her now!

Why do you loathe Madonna?
Madonna loves Kylie, it would be nice if they teamed up.
They're both survivors and ALIVE.

It's back in the Australian chart, the Irish,UK chart and more. A Listers Sam Smith 😂his last album was least successful than Madame X which is only silver. Can't wait for the Madonna tour well the dates she won't cancel the out of tune voice or probably miming it's going to be an utter car crash and the laughing stock of the music world and Kylie is number 3 in the worldwide I tunes chart. When Madonna has a top twenty hit on her own in the future then come back and not when she is leaning on other people because she won't do it on her own but Kylie is currently 12 on her own and climbing three weeks on the trot 😂😂😂 I bet you are the one seething. I wouldn't bet on vulgar being a hit as Kylie is higher on all the streaming charts in the UK even her extended mix is higher😂😂😂😂

Its in the lower reaches of ALL charts that dont really matter. Australia (her own nation where shes less popular than Madonna) Ireland?! LOL.... no comment! As for the world wide itunes chart 😂😂 seriously, who downloads music these days??? No matter how many remixes Kylie releases, she'll only ever be a mediocre success in the UK. She cant even fill a UK stadium off her own back 😂😂😂 no wonder she has under half the albums & singles sold in the UK that Madonna has. Top 10,20,40,100 hits too, number 1's both album & singles....

Madonna's popular is at 20 million streams WW, Kylies novelty single just 11 million after 4 weeks. Oh dear. Its just not cutting it with younger gays. The singing budgie cant relate. She too tried to 'lean' on other acts but failed dismally! Z lists dont cut it either sadly. She even roped in Dua Lipa AFTER she collaborated with Madonna 😂😂😂 shes so basic. Queen of mediocrity.

As for Madonna's upcoming sold out world wide tour, an old Kylie stan coming for a Madonna tour is just laughable, especially given Kylies last outting was as a festival circuit add on that just toured the UK 😂😂😂😂. Madonna has never cancelled a tour once. Her Madame X tour was shut down by world regulations in the wake of Covid. Kylie??? She couldnt get a tour promotor or financial backing no doubt. Its what happens to local acts.

We'd rather you didnt tbh. But as Kylies sole representation....

It wont. It has sold just 2000 digital copies there, has not been picked up by radio and her streaming numbers world wide are poor. Madonna's popular is at 20 million streams in 5 days with only 1 digital release, Kylies novelty single is at 11 million streams worldwide with 3 digital versions, and that took 4 weeks of relentless promo.

Shes not an international star. Madonna is and has been since her first hit single in 1982. Shes on another level to Kylie, who basically makes mediocre pop. Always has! When she strays from that lane it flops. Impossible Princess? Kiss Me Once? Kylie? Lets Get To It? Body Language?

Madonna is global. When are Kylies small fan base going to accept that fact?! Lol not everyone likes re hashed Madonna from 4 years prior which is basically what Kylies been doing all her career! Sorry but this single is a fluke, in the UK anyway.

It's ridiculous, isn't it? It's how kids behave in the school playground. I listen to both artists, have never felt the need to compare them. I think those that do are just insecure about their favourite. I'm pretty sure Madonna and Kylie don't feel threatened by each other, so God knows why their fans do.

Kylie's last tour Golden in 2018/19 toured UK,Ireland,Europe and Australia so get your facts right. She will be touring with her new album. Madonna cancelled Madame X dates because she injured herself apparently or the arthritis was playing up. Can't wait to see clips of the new tour. Car crash waiting to happen and I bet her arthritis won't leave her open her legs as she loves doing that being her children have different fathers or she goes out with a man the same age as her child! So sad😂😂😂😂

You forgot flops Madame X and Rebel heart

Kylies last tour was a festival circuit tour, an add on guest because her fanbase isnt large enough to support a full on tour; she played such exciting venues as Lytham Festival near Blackpool 😂. Quite apt for her considering her reputation as the queen of cheese with her dreadful vocals and non existent dancing! Her Golden tour played a few dates in her local demographic years ago. Just a few countries where she's known. Was it even a local tour??? Madonna cancelled 6 dates on her last tour due to a knee injury for which she underwent surgery. When it reached France she played 2 dates then the French government shut down ALL live shows due to covid..... Everyone knows what happened next except brainless Kylie stans it seems. Kylie has cancelled 2 whole tours in her career, Madonna? None.

Her greatest hits tour comes 4 decades into her best selling record breaking career. She has the top 2 most successful tours of all time for a female artist. And this is her first hits tour. Kylie was doing greatest hits tours back in 2004 after she got cancelled for the whole of the 90's. She doesnt even have a tour in the top 20 most successful for a female. Not surprised considering her dull as dishwater shows, which are basically lame, mediocre rehashes of what Madonna was doing 15 years ago. But thats nothing new. Take her new video... shes ripped off Madonna's Nothing Really Matters aesthetic from 1999. Its tragic! Her album Golden, basically Madonna's Music for dummies, Disco, a rather version of Confessions on a Dancefloor with so gs that could have been lifted from any of her 00's effort.

Shes the queen of mediocrity. And one top 20 placed novelty song wont change her dwindling career. Get back to us when shes 64 and is able to sell out 1.8 million concert tickets on every continent.

See you at skeggness Butlins 2033 for the Kylie Show 🤣🤣🤣🤣

LOL Both those albums peaked atop more world wide charts than kylies last 5 studio albums combined. And sold more 😂But Kylie stans only see things on a local level.... bless!

I don't live worldwide I live in the UK the place Madonna hasn't had a number one album since 2012😂😂😂😂

Absolutely agree!

Absolutely agree

Kylie hasnt had a million selling album since 2001. Her last number 1 single was 2003. Madonna hasnt released a studio album this decade so....

16 albums released and still shes only sold 11 million albums in the UK compared to Madonna's 23 million. 😬😬😬😬

3 decade wonder??? LOL i wouldnt exactly call kylies chart record staggering. Her albums during the 90's were laughed at. A greatest hits album in 1992 saved her. She barely dented the top 10 albums or singles chart between 1992 - 2000 and only scraped 2 number 1 albums in the 00's. The only reason she claims the first female to have a number 1 album in 5 decades, is because of a greatest hits collection. Take them away and she has none in the 90's and only 1 number 1 album in the 00's. Tragic! Madonna hasnt released a studio album this decade, but she will.

And for the record Madonna's last hit single was a number 3 hit in 2009. Give Me All Your Loving in 2012 was on track to be her 14th number 1 but the official chart discounted over 3 days worth of sales (60k copies) in a last minute chart rule change. It was on track to sell over 100k, more than enough to land her that weeks number 1 spot. Still her last number 1 in 2009 sold over 700'000 copies in the UK, Kylies Slow holds the titl of the lowest selling number 1 UK single of all time.

lmao. Your posts are hilarious, but extremely on point and factual. Love seeing her mincing fans put in their places.

I didn't know about the OCC discounting 3 days worth of sales, but it's interesting they changed their rules when she was about to score her 14th #1. Didn't Billboard pull a similar stunt with her?

Facts are facts. Madonna need never release an album or single again and Kylie Minogue would never achieve what she has. Her last 3 studio albums were the pinnacle of mediocrity. Madame X had more creativity in it than Minogue's entire back catalogue combined. She makes music for the cerebrally challenged. None of her albums or singles are ever mentioned in the same sentence as iconic, legendary or great. It is what it is. One top 20 song aged 54 isnt going to flip Kylie & Madonna's successes no matter how hard her conservative, rather basic fanbase try. 😂

The OCC discounted the first 3 days sales (around 60k from what i recall) as it was seen as an incentive to buy the album rather than single. Interscope also released GMAYL on a Friday meaning it charted at 37 with just 2 actual days sale and only 2 days pre sale. The UK charts back then ran Sun - Sat. Before the OCC did this, Lady Gaga, Beyonce & Rihanna had all benefitted from this tactic and were allowed number 1's this way on the single chart.
Say what they want but it was done on purpose to sabotage the singles chances of being her 14th number 1. They cant beat her, so they cheat her.

Kylies single in the UK is actually performing poorly in streaming. The only reason its charting is because her management are drip feeding formats. CD single, cassette single, 3 digital packages and next a remix package. Its just clever marketing. None of Madonna's singles since GGW in 2012 have had an official physical release. Madame X had just 2 official single releases both of which did well on the sales chart

Flops? You're so delusional.

"Rebel Heart" global album sales stand at 2.7million units as 2022 Year End.
Was the #39 best sellling album of 2015 worldwide.
Was still Madonna best selling album in iTunes in 2020 (ahead of "TIC", "Celebration" and "Madame X")

"Madame X" was an World music album! It was not pure dance pop!
Even have 4 songs in Portuguese.
"Madame X" global sales stand at over 1 million units as 2022 YE.

Kylie "Disco" album global sales stand at over 550k units as 2022 YE

Rest my case.

Still she had 12 #01 albums among 29 album releases and 14 studio albums.

Kylie had how many? 8...
And released how many albums? Much more!

Right...

Sunday update and no Madonna in the top 20 what a pity while Kylie is at 10 not even the Weeknd can help her lol I'm not surprised by vulgar it's utter tripe 😂😂😂

LOL predicting charts based on 2 days sales/streams??? Is that a thing... Pre charts are pre charts, the same pre charts that had Kylie at number 6, reality it landed at number 12. And it took CD singles, cassette singles, extended mixes, edit and an album version to get there. 😂😂😂😂😬 and its still not present on ANY major chart world wide. Sad.

Not looking good for a first week showing for Vulgar. I absolutely love the music! Kinda Turkish/ Arabic vibe to it

Well its on 1 format only and both are unable to promo it due to touring commitments. Unlike Kylie Whos promo for this novelty song has become desperate, Sam & Madonna are most likely putting energies elsewhere. Popular globally has been very well received and becomes Madonna's 74th top 40 hit and is looking likely to enter the US official charts and many more globally. Again, with zero promo, no remixes or physical formats or video and little to no radio support especially in the UK. Kylie on the other hand has had to sell her right kidney to push this song which has only truly impacted the UK main chart. Its streaming figures are poor, shes had to reduce its price to 59p on itunes and release CD, cassette singles, a separate extended mix and 2 other digital packages. It all wreaks of desperation tbh and its overshadowing anything shes done prior. Interesting to see how much her management has paid for all these positive non descript media stories that are flooding the web alongside the dubious memes and Capital FMs odd biased support of a near geriatric fading star?

59p on iTunes, cassettes, CD's and digital packages? When you lay it all out like that it most definitely does reek of desperation. and I'll bet they've already got a vinyl lined up if she doesn't get in the top 10 on Friday.

Its a good marketing strategy. But ultimatley costly for the label and a bit old fashioned. Artists Kylies age are having to work 100 times harder for not much to show. But, where Madonna is concerned she has NO record deal that encompasses NEW music releases at the moment. Her $100 million deal she signed with Warner December 2021, is for marketing her vast back catalogue only in the form of historical digital releases, special editions of her classic albums, remixes, vinyl and streaming of older hits. All these collabs, featured songs, they're marketed by the main artists label, not Warners. Its a great strategy thats keeping her in the limelight and charts whilst this 3 year historic releases deal either merges to encompass new albums, or not. Only time will tell.

47 midweek for Vulgar and I bet it will be even lower by the end of the week. Popular also down to 28 . Oh some people don't have luck. I live in the UK so only the UK chart counts for me . Two singles and not one top twenty and you were hoping the two would be in the top twenty. I suppose you can dream 🤣🤣🤣

How did it take cassette they are not even out yet lol and she is on charts around the world. I suppose vulgar might stay top 75 by Friday 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And yet popular is still outstreaming & outperforming Kylies novelty song on the worldwide stage without discounting it to 59p on itunes, a CD single, cassette single, extended mix, album version, single digital download or delux album single. Rather sad

Thanks Jack for that. I didn't know about the flipping to sales mode at 59p on Itunes. I agree with you. It's a novelty. I still don't have an issue with her, I quite like her but it's the animosity of her fans towards Madonna I don't understand.

Jealousy. What Kylie lacks in credibility & depth Madonna has in spades, always has. She came up the credible hard way and worked to rule the pop world. Susan Sarandon once said, pop is divided into a time before Madonna and after Madonna. Kylies fans simply cannot stand the fact their idol practically xeroxed Madonna's career in the same way Gaga did decades later. In a way Gaga took the heat off Kylie. The original Madonna wannabe

Oh don't get me started on Gaga. So overrated it's a joke!

I actually think the way this is gathering momentum she could be heading for top ten and the album Tension is guaranteed a number one as she always is in the UK, if nowhere else. I've always had a soft spot for her.

Since 1987 it has always been a great time to be a Kylie fan!
