Congrats to Kylie who scored her 5th number one with 11th studio album Aphrodite in the UK. The #1 album came 22 years to the week of Kylie’s first #1 album. Aphrodite also put Kylie in the record books for having an amazing four #1 albums over four consecutive decades. Amazing!
Other charts to make mention of are her native Australia where her album came rolling in at #2 which really isn’t so bad considering the somewhat poor charting of the lead single.
In the US Kylie is on track from a top 20 position which most fans will acknowledge is quite a feat for Kylie who hasn’t made much of an impression since Can’t Get You Out of My Head (which she most likely won’t ever be able to repeat). Kylie did do some promotion in the states to help get herself the position she did. She kicked things off with her small American tour which put her on peoples radar far before she had an album to promote. Once the album was getting nearer she hit the Today Show and later that evening performed at Splash in New York premiering her megamix which was widely made available across the internet and also distributed in CD form at various concerts across the country.
All hail the queen.
