Kylie Minogue’s heart-pounding new single, ‘Padam Padam’, is a smash hit, becoming her highest charting Aussie track in over a decade.
The hopelessly addictive dance-pop tune debuted at No. 39 on the Australian ARIA singles chart this week, marking the home-grown superstar’s first top 50 hit in over a decade.
Not since 2012’s ‘Timebomb’, which peaked at No. 12 on the ARIA charts, has Ms Minogue had such a hit.
Highest In A Decade
‘Padam Padam’ also launched to great heights across the pond, earning No. 1 on the UK Official Singles Sales Chart, and landing at No. 26 on the generally ranked Official Singles Chart.
“She’s only gone and Padam (Padam) it, landing the UK’s best-selling single of the week, smashing back into the Official Chart Top 40 with Padam Padam, her highest-charting single in nearly a decade,” wrote song-tracking company Official Charts.
And there’s no stopping there. With over 4.5 million streams on Spotify and a live performance debut on American Idol, the momentum for ‘Padam Padam’ is only increasing.
It has the chance to be one of Ms Minogue’s biggest hits, period.
“A Cultural Reset”
