Kylie - Tension II (Album XVIb)

Wasn't this announced some months ago?
I actually like what I heard in this clip.
I hope it comes out soon with a big video etc
Why not?

All around a good result. It’s all a bit WTFH part two from Steps but on a bigger level, but you can’t expect much more. And to grab the #1 in the UK and AUS is brilliant.
 
I expect the week two position will be pretty brutal, but that's par for the course these days.
 
That's her 5th consecutive No1 album in the UK, right?
Well done Kylie :disco:

Unless they're clever and release a deluxe version.

I haven't actually bought anything yet. I've been burned by Kylie too many times in the past. I plan on waiting until Thursday and if nothing appears, I'll just pick something out. I noticed the ltd edition CDs have been reduced on her website.
 
Tension managed two weeks in the top 10 but I guess sales for that were significantly higher. She had 2.2k sales in streams with this...I'm not sure where that alone would have got her.

I’m going to assume week two will be around #50 at best, but that’s standard as @VoR says and there’s no big hit to keep it much higher.
 
Some updates sales for the following albums:

Album Totals
2,142,128 - Kylie Minogue - Kylie
1,752,093 - Kylie Minogue - Fever
96,532 - Kylie Minogue - Tension
 
Listening to Kylie on Rylan Radio 2 - its been years since I have heard Chocolate on radio , he's going to play The One too :disco: and REAL GROOVE
 
I honestly can't see it being anything other than Lights Camera Action. That seems to be the sole purpose of the song.

In other news, bracing myself for a low Billboard 200 position due to stocking problems :eyes: in Walmart and Target.
 
Interesting interview with Kylie's long standing A&R Jamie Nelson and a senior executive at BMG in Music Week this week:

BMG senior execs on Kylie Minogue's No.1 run and creative hot streak as Tension II hits the summit

Following the chart-topping result for Tension II, Kylie Minogue has now achieved 10 No.1 albums in the UK – five of those in partnership with BMG since 2018. Here, Anna Derbyshire, senior director, marketing and SVP A&R UK Jamie Nelson reflect on BMG’s journey so far with the Australian superstar…

Absolutely don't buy the GUFF about the US now being her biggest market though.
 
I had a first listen last night, and it's definitely Tension II :D

I got the extended mixes download in the end, so hopefully I'll grow to love it.
 
I wonder how long it will take Tension to sell the 3.5k it needs to clear Gold certification.

It will likely take Tension II a number of years to achieve the same.

Debuts at #98! Ouch!

That's her lowest performing BMG album.

I was reading that this was affected by the physicals not being sent out in time in the US? Not sure how true that is, STOCKING PROBLEMS.
 
Down to #52 in week two :bruised:

I suspect they’ll be revising the Tension tour setlist to include LCA and Edge of Saturday Night at most.

Ouch. I think they'll be foolish to revise the list though. It was still a #1 album.

I'm pretty sure the first album plummeted in its third week.

So a significant drop in the third week. Disco was practically a blockbuster in comparison and it didn't have a hit single to drive sales.
 
Didn’t they have some promo in the second week of Tension I? Like more formatting or something?
