Full story below…
Already hotly anticipated following its announcement in May, the project quickly became one of Pop’s most eagerly awaited in the wake of the success of its top 10 charting lead single ‘Padam Padam.’
Its title track, which arrived as its official successor, impressively peaked in the top 20 on the Official UK Singles Chart.
All, as has become apparent, helped create the perfect storm of buzz around the album.
Because, with the numbers tallied and verified, ‘Tension’ has launched atop the converted count with 53,000 units sold.
In doing so, the record outsold the entire top 5 combined.
Minogue’s touchdown with ‘Tension’ sees her tie Coldplay and Bob Dylan on the tally of acts boasting the most #11 albums on the Official UK Album Chart – all have 9 apiece. It’s of note that the only female solo artists with more are Taylor Swift and Madonna (with 10 and 12 respectively).
