Aphrodite is #1 in the midweeks! More than double the sales of Eminem at #2!
Have to admit, I quite like it, been playing it a lot, it's a good one for lifting the mood!!

OMG yes! He's a little wonky looking, but he's totally the kind of guy I would end up having a major crush on in real life. :drama:

Kylie and Stuart Price interview:

i don't think kylie has ever been that willing to discuss the music when promoting her albums in such detail and so enthusiastically. she looks genuinely overwhelmed by the result. and if the first signs of commercial success are anything to go by, the next album will have stuart's production stamped all over it again.

I would hope that next time they let him solely produce the whole thing. He did an amazing job on Night Work.

lookin all lovely and gorgeous and triumphant on that stage but why the hell did she launch this album from ibiza? she should have dragged her butt over here, in mykonos or even cyprus, birthplace of aphrodite. we could have even handed mount olympus or the acropolis for the occasion.

calm down, bitches, ain't he like straight and married? :lol2:

no idea how the american market works, but ain't itunes top5 quite a big deal? i notice both editions are listed in the top20, which is just insane. being realistic, she's definitely gonna fall as the week goes by, but this goes to show she really has a solid, yet restricted fanbase in the states which had never showed its purchasing strength due to the fact her albums have never got a simultaneous release date with the rest of the world.

a week ago i would have thought low top100 is all she can aim at, but now it's looking like top40 is highly likely to happen, even with the absence of a minor hit single to push it.

Yes, it's quite surprising really. I think that last year's mini US tour did a LOT to "reactivate" her US fanbase. The simultaneous release is also a big step too. Very, very wise.

The sticker on the US CD seems to imply that PYHU will be the 3rd single...

a debut based on just two days of sales. hardly pitiful i reckon.

but then, two days of sales were enough for aphrodite to debut at number three in spain, thus outpeaking each and every album of hers over there - fever included :shock: :drama:
