Favourite Kylie Minogue UK #1 singles

[BoysForSeles]

The Madonna version of these polls generated a nice selection of positive posts about her work and some interesting career remembrances and titbits so I thought I’d try the same for Kylie.

Generous multiple choice again as the aim is to get a feel for the most popular songs by bringing more into play. Less than 4 in this round I feel would result in a runaway 2 or 3 with lots of zeros. I wouldn’t have expected there to be 8 choices this time last month.

Vote for up to FOUR in this category, rank them if you like and I’ll do the next batch in a couple of weeks.

Just crown SLOW already

 

[BoysForSeles]

Slow definitely sounded like a bit of a curveball at the time. I’ll never tire of it or Breathe.

 

[POP!]

Slow
Head
Spinning Around
Hand on Your Heart

 

[Sheena]

1. Slow
2. Can't Get You Out Of My Head
3. Hand On Your Heart

4. Spinning Around
5. Especially For You

6. Tears On My Pillow

7. I Should Be So Lucky
8. XMAS

 

[Loufoque]

Good Lord, her #1s are largely a bit shit compared to her mighty discography. Slow and Head tower above everything else. Hand and Spinning Around are also higher-but-not-really-God-tier Kylie.

 

[BoysForSeles]

I factored in how obsessed young me was with ISBSL so:

1 Slow
2 Can’t Get You Out Of My Head

3 Hand On Your Heart
4 I Should Be So Lucky
5 Spinning Around

6 Especially For You
7 Tears On My Pillow

8 XMAS

 

[Suedehead]

1. Slow
2. Can't Get You Out of My Head
3. Spinning Around
4. Hand on your Heart
5. I Should be so Lucky
6. XMAS
7. Tears on my Pillow
8. Especially for You

I thought we could only choose 1! Oops!

 

[Eddie]

Can I redo my vote?

 

[BoysForSeles]

Can I redo my vote?

Yes, I changed it to allow….for a while. Usually don’t have the change option just because there’s a final poll based on the previous responses to each category.

 

[Eddie]

Thanks!

I’m a Spinning Around girlie

 

[BoysForSeles]

Spinning Around is an odd one for me. I liked DeCon era Kylie a lot but it was exciting to have pure pop Kylie back which elevated the song along with the video but it wouldn’t even be my top choices from that album. It was a hugely important song for her career here though.

 

[Music]

Slow and Can’t Get You Out Of My Head both still sound so FRESH after 20 years.

 

[RJN]

I love the same 2 as everyone else (Head and Slow)

 

[Eddie]

Slow
Can't Get You Out Of My Head
Hand On Your Heart
I Should Be So Lucky
Spinning Around
Especially For You
XMAS
Tears On My Pillow

 

[Eddie]

Slow is in my top 3 Kylie songs of all time

 

[Eddie]

My top 5 for anyone wondering:

1. Say Something
2. Confide In Me
3. Slow
4. What Do I Have To Do?
5. Padam Padam

 

[BoysForSeles]

^ Looking at what you picked you’ll likely get to vote for most of them once we get to the final round.

 

[Suedehead]

My top 10:

1. Confide in Me
2. What Do I Have To Do
3. Slow
4. I Believe in You
5. On a Night Like This
6. In Your Eyes
7. Put Yourself in my Place
8. Can't Get you out of my Head
9. Breathe (Single Mix)
10. All the Lovers

 

[straightorbroken]

Hand On Your Heart was my sole pick as none of the others reach that Kylie jackpot place for me. It's the bursting point of her pop as pure pleasure machine era, albeit they let some air out of the Hi-NRG that propelled the debut. When they tacked on style and glamour (Rhythm of Love), she was untouchable, and yet never reached the top of the hit parade despite all the singles dishing up what was hot at the time.

 

[Eddie]

No I'll

My top 5 for anyone wondering:

1. Say Something
2. Confide In Me
3. Slow
4. What Do I Have To Do?
5. Padam Padam

I have more difficulty rounding out my top ten.

6. Where The Wild Roses Grow
7. In My Arms
8. In Your Eyes
9. Step Back In Time or Better The Devil You Know
10. Tension or Can't Get You Out Of My Head

 

[Eddie]

The last two positions really depend on the mood that I'm in.

Love At First Sight has lost its place in the top 10 because it's so overplayed that when I return to the studio version for some reason the vocals have begun to sound out of time with the music!
