"Can't Get You Out of My Head" may fall to #7! This week and "Fever" may fall to #3 becuase we have tons of new realses of other artists... all good things most come to an end. |

We deleted all the multimedia files from FinerFeelings.co.uk. Kylie is to perform a romantic duet with Nicole Kidman. The two hit it off on the set of Moulin Rouge and now plan to record a single together.Kylie says of Nicole, "She has a fabulous voice and I would love to do a duet with her. All it needs is a date to be set". More UK tour dates to be added and from 7 dates at the original UK tour it became 21 UK tours!! Can't Get You Out Of My Head is the #1 world single for its 3rd week. Amazingly, tickets bought for Kylie's upcoming 2002 tour in the UK have outsold the UK leg pf Madonna's 'Drowned World' tour - An outstanding accomplishment! Moulin Rouge has recently become the highest grossing musical in UK history. Since Kylie exploded onto the music scene in 1987, many pop stars have dreamed of collaborating with her. Some even got the chance. This time it is Michael Jackson who hopes Kylie will record some songs he wrote especially for her.The tracks, called I'll Try Anything Once and Time Bomb, have been written by Michael Jackson with the express hope that they will be included on her new album to be released in the US. Kylie, who has failed to make a major dent in the US public consciousness, despite being pop royalty in both her Autralian homeland and all across Europe, is set to release an album in the States in the coming months. It will feature songs from both her current UK Number 1 album, Fever, and her highly successful album from last year, Light Years.Kylie is currently fluttering up the US dance chart with her song Butterfly. The track is released through producer Mark Picchiotti's own label, BluePlate. But while club-goers are taking to this track, it is hoped that her album will see the rest of the American music buying public taking notice of her again.*According to the Daily Star, The Royal Shakespeare Company want Kylie to play Juliet in their new production of Romeo and Juliet. In 1999, Kylie played Miranda in the Shakespeare play The Tempest and says, "I'd just love to be in another one of Shakespeare's plays." |

Still no offical charts for Sunday but we'll wait. Kylie broke a record! "Can't Get You Out of My Head" is the most airplayed song in England since the airplay chart exists! Another record that Kylie broke today is conceret sales... tickets sold out so quickly that they smashed box office records - the first date went in just 50 minutes, shattering the previous record held by Robbie Williams - Kylie sold the venue out in a third of the time that Robbie took! In London (and just reported on the local ITV news bulletin) demand was so hot that the phone network crashed in Wembley! In Birmingham, the poor NEC box office couldn't cope, and many were frustrated when after entering credit card details, their computers returned error messages. Extra dates have been added in Manchester, Newcastle, Wembley, Cardiff, and Glasgow. Hmm... also Butterfly is #14 on US charts. Kylie's new tour is rumored to include 22 songs, 8 from FEVER. Kylie Minogue has recorded the theme tune for a new British soap opera. The track, entitled 'Always And Forever', will feature on ITV's new offering, 'Night And Day', when it begins in November.S Club 7 writer Dave Arch worked with Kylie on the track. The show's producers have called the collaboration "a coup". |

Sales figures from Monday are out, and all indications are that Kylie will not be at Number 1 on either the singles or albums charts in the UK this Sunday. Having had a fantastic four week stint at the top with her single, Can't Get You Out Of My Head, on Monday she was beaten down to second place by Afroman's new release, Because I Got High. Britney Spears' new effort is currently 3rd in the midweeks, but she is hot on the heels of Kylie.It looks unlikely that Kylie will be able to bounce back in the same way that she did last week, after trailing to Michael Jackson's comeback single on the midweek chart every day only to recover on Saturday to keep her lead on Sunday, when it counted. There was never a difference of more than 1 or 2 thousand sales between the pair of them. However, this week is a different story, with Afroman having a lead of 8,000 already.ylie's album, Fever, also looks unlikely to stay at the pinnacle of the albums chart on Sunday following the release of Steps Greatest Hits album. Fever has been nudged down to second place on the midweek chart.It was a fantastic run, four weeks at the top of the singles chart and two on the albums chart. More than anyone would have dreamt, a couple of months ago. Kylie mania is still in full swing. |

According to today's Sunday People (UK), Scotland Yard are investigating a threatening package sent to Kylie via the offices of EMI. The report says the package contained a soil sample, claimed to be contaminated with both the foot-and-mouth and anthrax viruses. Four days before the package arrived, EMI are reported to have received a phone call warning them to drop Kylie. A senior police source is quoted by the paper as saying: "A receptionist got a call from a woman threatening that she was going to send a package. Then four days later staff received a brown envelope containing soil and a note. The note threatened to infect the staff with foot-and-mouth or anthrax unless Kylie was dropped. The letter attacked Kylie for her TV show Neighbours and for posing semi-naked in men's magazines. The author thought it unfair she got her fame from doing all that." An EMI insider is quoted as saying: "When the parcel arrived, it really freaked everyone out." The report claims that the soil sample is now undergoing tests at the Government laboratory at Portland Down. Test results are yet to be revealed. Kylie is said to be shaken by the threat..." |
