'No one else could have probably pulled this song off'

'Padam Padam' has become Minogue's highest-charting single in Australia in over a decade, making an impressive debut at No 39 in its first week. The momentum continues as the track climbs the UK charts, reaching the coveted No 1 position on the UK Big Top 40 chart, which takes into account radio airplay, iTunes sales, and Apple Music streaming. Latest predictions indicate that the song is on track to enter the top 20 on the official singles chart by the following week.

In his analysis of the unexpected success of 'Padam Padam' George Griffiths from the Official Charts said, "It's a confident, left-of-centre turn, and people have been responding to it because of how confident it sounds, and how much it feels like a Kylie single. No one else could have probably pulled this song off," he added.

Who is Kylie Minogue dating?

Kylie Minogue is currently single, having recently ended her five-year relationship earlier this year with Paul Solomons, creative director of British GQ magazine. Solomons has been involved in the fashion and publishing industry for several years, working with notable brands and publications. He gained attention in the media when he began dating Minogue in 2018.

"Kylie had seen the signs that the relationship wasn’t going anywhere, but she’s not worried about what single life will look like," a source close to the singer told OK! "She’s of an age where she knows what she’s worth so she’s not concerned about the prospect of starting all over again with someone new. She’s already picking herself up. She’s focusing on herself and her career."
