[edit] Japanese Chart
What is the source of the chart positions on Japanese chart? I'm a Japanese Kylie's fan and I know she has never entered to Oricon Singles Chart (considered as Japanese mainstream/official singles chart) Top30, at least after "Light Years". In Japan it is not general to release singles of overseas artists and for instance there's no Japanese-issued single of "Can't Get You Out Of My Head". How could it get No.5 as described in the article, without physical release, moreover airplay and download point are still not included on Oricon Singles Chart (of course at that time). On Parlophone age, the only single which was physically released in Japan is "Slow" and I don't know whether that entered even Top100. In Japan, it is very difficult, almost impossible to show how a song from overseas is popular by using hitcharts because of the reason. If you want to know their popularity, it's much better to refer to Oricon Albums Chart. Ken--80.193.38.173 (talk) 02:53, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] World sales
I think it's excellent that sales figures are being added BUT it is absolutely vital that sources be cited. If the information is coming from a website, from printed media... whatever: please cite it. This is mandatory for Wikipedia as per Wikipedia:Cite sources. To the person who has been adding this information - please send a message to my talk page if you aren't sure how to add sources and I'll help, but I can't stress enough how important this is. Thank you Rossrs 00:45, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
- The figures are excessive. Best detail found to date says 6m for 'Can't get you out of my head'. Please quote source 60.234.242.196 04:55, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wow
I was looking for ideas about how to format KLF discography, and when I saw this all I could say was 'wow'. Great job! --kingboyk 14:50, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Greatest Hits and Ultimate Kylie
Aren't Greatest Hits and Ultimate Kylie compilation albums? Why are they listed in Main albums? CG 11:23, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- They shouldn't be...but I'm currently in the process of cleaning up and improving this article. Any suggestions would be helpful. -- Underneath-it-All 15:43, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] U.S. dance chart
Wouldn't it make more sense to move these up into the main table rather than having them separated? -- eo 14:43, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New Zealand Releases
A very impressive discography. I can clarify two releases however.
Locomotion was also released in New Zealand (which is why the Loco-motion SAW version was not - it had already charted in New Zealand in 1987).
It's No Secret was also released in New Zealand and did chart. When it charted it was widely publicised here that this track was only being released in the US and NZ.
I can't give chart positions - but both definitely did chart Top 20 here.
[edit] Different figures
The chart positions on this page are different to those on Kylie's main page. I'd fix them myself, but which are correct? Does anyone know? Thanks! :)13:49, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Confirmed rumor about White Diamond (2007)
Kasper Winding from Denmark is rumored to author one or some more songs for Kylie. http://www.kasperwinding.com/whatsnew_eng.htm He has been working a lot with Anne Dorte Michelsen, i. e. in her studio band, starting from the mid-1980s. -andy 80.129.126.158 00:17, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removing Sometime Samurai and Over the Rainbow from singles section
Both these songs were promos only and therefore should be removed and only listed in the Promotional Singles section. Neither were eligible to officially chart. Andypeter 22:22, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Made of Glass released in Australia
In Australia, Giving You Up was listed on the official ARIA chart as Giving You Up/Made of Glass. FMR officially released these songs as a double A-side and therefore it has been updated correctly to Giving You Up/Made of Glass. The * (star) is listed next to the Aus chart position to note this.
[edit] Do They Know It's Christmas missing from discography
Why is "Do They Know It's Christmas?" not on the list of singles? I added it, but it was immediately removed without any explanation.
Why?
The list already includes several collaborative singles. It also has "Keep on Pumpin' It", which was not released under the name "Kylie Minogue". So there doesn't seem to be any logical reason to exclude the single.
Achieving a Christmas number one is possibly the most sought-after achievement a music artist can hope to achieve. To omit this monumental achievement from Kylie's discography seems unfair, and very odd, especially considering the recognition and historical significance that particular Christmas song has.
Consider: • The song was for charity, raising millions of pounds for a very worthy cause. • It sold millions of copies, outselling Madonna's "Like a Prayer" from that year. • Kylie opens the song (singing the first line alone) and is one of the three most prominent performers in the song. • Like the other artists, Kylie generously recorded the song for no profit, at just two days' notice.

UPDATE: After several days with no response from anyone on this issue, I have made the corrections once again. If someone is going to bother to undo my edit then please take the time to give an explanation for why it has been undone.

[edit] Grossly exagerated sales for Kylie's albums
This page has turned into a complete joke with it's total sales for Kylie's albums. How on earth did Body Language sell 7 million copes? or KM94 do 6 million? Or Ultimate Kylie selling 11 million copies. This is beyond rediculous. Can someone who has proper sources please fix up these figures, otherwise, get rid of the sales figures completely.

[edit] Tables are messed up
Someone has edited the singles tables on this page and broken them slightly. They need looking at by someone who can use html properly. Also, the headers to the first table (year, album, etc.) don't appear on the following tables. I think they should. Grand Dizzy (talk) 19:14, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] On A Night Like This was not a UK Number 1!
It is really odd that there is this mistake in the discography page! OANLT was not a number one single in the UK, and for confirmation you can also check the list of UK number one singles right here on wikipedia and you will not find it in the list because it was indeed only number two if I remember correctly. Whoever listed this please go back and correct it, and any others that might be wrong. Dollvalley (talk) 00:55, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fever
Fever has sold 9 milions copies not 6!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.18.66.24 (talk) 19:46, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] 5th single
someone know what the 5th single is? I hope Speakerphone, It could be good for the album sales...
- To me the best choice of 5th single would be "Sensitized"! ---- Digital1 (talk) 00:29, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] ...
The new discography styl is bullshit! -.-* —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.173.176.162 (talk) 17:31, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
