Apparently the whole world is dancing to a new beat thanks to the ElectroPop masterpiece that is Kylie Minogue‘s 16th studio album, ‘Tension.’
Released Friday (September 22), the Aussie Pop royal went to chart battle with the critically acclaimed effort led by singles ‘Padam Padam‘ and its title track.
Undoubtedly facing high expectations given the gargantuan success of ‘Padam,’ early reports of the commercial response to the 11-song effort suggest ‘Tension’ is well on its way to meeting the challenge on a global front.
Less than 24 hours after landing on digital download and streaming services, ‘Tension’ has risen to the top of many of them – most notably the iTunes real-time sales tallies of leading global markets like United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, Germany, Egypt, Italy, South Africa, and more.
At writing, the LP’s performance as sales leader in 40 countries (and counting) makes it the tally’s best-performing new album in the entire world.

Faring handsomely on Apple Music charts as well, the ‘Tension’ sales – once added to numbers being amassed on streaming outlets – could lead to an impressive debut on the Billboard 200 in the United States.
She was last spotted on the tally in 2020 when her album ‘Disco‘ landed at #26 – her highest mark met there since capturing the #19 spot with ‘Aphrodite‘ in 2010. Her personal best on that hitlist remains the #3 peak of 2001’s ‘Fever‘ (due in great part to the success of its single ‘Can’t Get You Out of My Head‘).

Nice. Congratulations are in order to Ms. Minogue, the legit Kylie.
Tension is a good album. Can’t wait to see her in Vegas. Congrats Kylie!
Congrats gorgeous Kylie the Queen. 😃👏🏽🥳
i’m predicting PADAM will finally hit the Hot 100 this week due to streams and albums sold… hopefully lol
It’s weird that the song could hit #1 on the dance chart but completely miss the hot 100
I’m so proud of her!!! This gives me hope to keep going and even when I think I’ve done enough there’s still so much to come like wtf!!!
Exactly 👍
After my mother’s death on 2018, and two extremely painful breakups since, music just didn’t sound the same to me. Kylie changed that, I’ve found amazing comfort in her music. I thought her music had died down since “I can’t get you outta my head” and recently found literally gem after gem, discovered albums like Impossible Princess, Disco and Golden (omg, Kylie rocks)! Tension is a masterpiece, I’m in debt with this wonderful woman..she restored my faith in music and hopefully I’ll find true love someday 🥰❤️
Great post!
That is brilliant news! @KylieMinogue deserves all the success in the world.
Yasss 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🎉🎉🎉🎉
Well deserved, Tension album hit #1 Billboard Dance/Electro chart in the USA. Well deserved beautiful princess Kylie 👏👸
Kylie’s Tension album dropped out of the Billboard top 200 albums chart after ONE WEEK. It debuted at 21 and then just dropped out of the top 200.
Yeah. That is very dissapointing. I really thought this album was going to de well in the US.
