Your Top 5 in Tracklist Order:
Slow Secret (Take You Home) Red Blooded Woman Chocolate Loving Days:sip2: To quote Mariah Carey: "But that's your nostalgia though" is what I think about this top 5 Everybody gets caught up in their nostalgia over the singles instead of examining the album as a body of work

I'm not familiar enough with Kylie to know what most of her singles even were and these are what I have left: 1 2 3 7 8 ... so I think it's safe to say she chose some pretty good singles from this one.

The right two album tracks made the top 5.

I loooove "Sweet Music." I actually think it should have been the second single after the lukewarm-ish response to "Slow." It was the safest track on the album and is really the only track that has a classic pop/dance feel comparable to LY or Fever. And I think that's why the track doesn't rank as high for me on BL as a body of work. So much of that album has sultrier R&B undertones, "Sweet Music" is a fairly straight-forward Kylie dance track. A great one though! Don't get me wrong.
"Slow" and "Chocolate" are absolute highlights in her discography. They belong in the top five. I'm flummoxed by "RBW" though. Love it, but top 5 on this album? No ma'am.

RBW is one of the few Kylie songs I hate. Hope it exits the rate soon!

4. Red Blooded Woman This actually did a lot worse until some last minute #1s lifted it higher. It is the only song to have a standard deviation higher than 4. This was in the running with "Cruise Control" for the North American lead single from this album, but ultimately the success of "Slow" oversees changed the minds of Capitol Records. However, this still went to Mainstream Top 40 radio, though it failed to crack the Top 50. IMHO, having lived through the BL era as it was happening stateside, "Slow" did not fit at all with what Top 40 was playing at the time whereas this fit better (as did Cruise Control). For an industry so reliant on trend-chasing and so dependent on predicting what will hit with audiences, I don't know how Capitol mis-handled this era so badly. It's a forever coulda-woulda-shoulda for how any number of decisions could have rolled out this album better in North America and solidified her as a main pop girl in the US finally but it was all lost. Just look at how badly X performed 4 years later.

I'm happy RBW came this far. It is easily my favorite discovery of this series thus far and is now my favorite Kylie Minogue song, period. What a fantastic bop.

I don't dislike RBW, and it was a good single choice at the time, but I like all the songs I put above it more and it might have aged the worst out of all her Parlophone hits.

I definitely use the Narcotic Thrust mix of RBW more than the album version.

When I first heard the album, this was the one that really jumped out at me. I think I wanted it as a single over Chocolate then, but they made the right choice because Chocolate is one of her sultriest singles that has really grown on me over the years.

Predictable winner, but it's hard to argue given how iconic and timeless the song is.

Thanks Everybody!!!!I'm so happy with the amount of participation this set received. I have a two-part announcement about what's coming next. Part 1
I send PMs to some people asking if they would be more likely to do the next set of B-Sides if they could get the list early and have time to sit with the songs. So I have decided to provide that option to all and will make a YouTube playlist! These B-Sides will happen after we do X, Aphrodite, and the special set for #KM25. The SongsI Don't Know What It Is King or Queen Carried Away Cherry Bomb Do It Again Magnetic Electric Rippin' Up the Disco White Diamond Go Hard or Go Home Heartstrings Mighty Rivers Silence Sparks Skirt Black and White If I Can't Have You Your Body Glow Part 2
The next set is X and Aphrodite!!I am pushing the due date out to late April because I will be getting very busy with final projects for my semester in early April. Expand the spoiler below to see the song lists. {Set 7}{Spoiler}X 2 Hearts Like a Drug In My Arms Speakerphone Sensitized Heart Beat Rock The One No More Rain All I See Stars Wow Nu-di-ty Cosmic
Aphrodite All The Lovers Get Outta My Way Put Your Hands Up (If You Feel Love) Closer Everything Is Beautiful Aphrodite Illusion Better Than Today Too Much Cupid Boy Looking For an Angel Can't Beat The Feeling
