We can’t get Kylie out of our head and now we know why…
Ahead of being awarded the BRITs Global Icon accolade this Saturday, PPL can exclusively reveal that Kylie Minogue has amassed 230 million seconds of UK radio & TV airplay in the 21st century, the equivalent of being played for seven years straight. The phenomenal ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’ makes up one year alone, almost 20% of Kylie’s total UK airplay.
The success of recent viral sensation ‘Padam Padam’ is clear, coming in at number 12 with less than a year of airplay under its belt and already overtaking big hitters such as ‘Come Into My World’ (14), ‘Slow’ (16), and ‘I Should Be So Lucky’ (17). ‘Padam Padam’ makes up 2% of Kylie’s total airplay and has already been broadcast for over 4 million seconds.
