Kylie Minogue achieves her first top 10 on Billboard’s multimetric Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, which began in 2013, as “Padam Padam” rises from No. 12 to No. 10 on the tally dated June 10.
The track, which introduces Minogue’s album Tension, due Sept. 22, earned 1.6 million official streams (up 15%) and sold 1,000 downloads in the United States in the May 26-June 1 tracking week, according to Luminate.
Previously, Minogue hit the chart’s top 20 with three hits, among 15 appearances, since Hot Dance/Electronic Songs originated: “Real Groove,” with Dua Lipa (No. 15, 2021), “Magic” (No. 17, 2020) and “Say Something” (No. 18, 2020).
Minogue first entered Billboard’s charts in 1988 and has tallied two top 10s on the Billboard Hot 100: “The Loco-Motion” (No. 3 peak that year) and “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” (No. 7, 2002).
A week ago, “Padam” became Minogue’s first No. 1 on the Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart.
Additionally on Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, fellow genre cornerstone Swedish House Mafia debuts with “See the Light,” featuring rapper Fridayy (No. 22). The track, premiered during the Ultra Music Festival in Miami March 26 but not released commercially until May 26, starts with 709,000 streams. It’s the 15th appearance for the trio of Steve Angello, Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso, and Fridayy’s first.
Speaking of Swedes, on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, production duo NOTD and singer Maia Wright, with all three performers from Sweden, each notch a third top 10 with “AM:PM” (13-10). The track is collecting core-dance airplay on Music Choice’s Dance/EDM channel, iHeartRadio’s Pride Radio and iHeartRadio’s Evolution network, among other outlets. (The Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart measures radio airplay on a select group of full-time dance stations, along with plays during mix shows on around 60 top 40-formatted reporters.)
