Kylie Minogue - "X" (2007)

[🇯🇲 lucy88 🇯🇲]

The tenth studio album that was released between 2007 and 2008 in various territories. After recovering from breast cancer, she enlisted many producers including Bloodshy & Avant, Calvin Harris, Greg Kurstin, and Freemasons for work on the album. X debuted at number one on the Australian Albums Chart and peaked at number four on the UK Albums Chart. The album reached the top 20 in other countries, including Austria, Germany, Ireland, France, Scotland, and Switzerland.

Five singles were released from X. The lead single, "2 Hearts", peaked inside the top 10 in several countries, including Australia, Spain, and the United Kingdom. "Wow" was released in Australia and the UK, while "In My Arms" was issued in Europe. "All I See" and "The One" were released as digital singles: the former to promote the album in the United States and the latter in Europe.

The album has sold over one million copies worldwide and has been certified platinum in the UK and Australia.

So what did you guys think about the album? What are your fave tracks? To be honest, when I listened to it initially, I was not impressed because it was soo different from Body Language and Fever. Those two albums were instant hits with me. I revisited the album last year or the year before, and I started to enjoy listening to the tracks. Quite a few reminded me of Britney, Gwen Stefani, and Janet. My top five tracks are WoW, In My Arms, Speakerphone, Heartbreak Rock, and Nu-di-ty.

Two Hearts #4 UK, #1 Australia, Europe #3

In My Arms #10 UK, #35 Australia, Europe #15

Wow #5 UK, #19 U.S Dance /Mix Show Airplay

All I See U.S. Dance Club Songs #3

The One #36 UK

I always forget how much I love this album until I listen to it again. No skips and a treasure trove to B-sides.

At the time of release, I was also disappointed with the album for how out-of-left-field it seemed for Kylie, but it has aged remarkably well.
"2 Hearts" especially is one that gets better with time.

Who TF said that???? I played it today through good quality speakers and the production pops especially on the opening three songs.

One of my all time favorite Kylie albums. Top 5 for sure. FULL of gems.
