Not only did Kylie Minogue belt out her Aphrodite hit “All The Lovers” on Australia’s Dancing With The Stars last night, she also “outed” her parents along with sister Dannii Minogue’s babydaddy Kris Smith, who were all sitting in the audience.

In Australia, “All The Lovers” peaked at #14 on the ARIA chart (and is currently at #29). In the UK, the single hit #3, while in the U.S. it jumped from #10 to #4 last week on the Billboard Hot Dance Songs chart.

First off, congrats to Kylie Minogue for landing Aphrodite at #19 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart here in the States. Her only LP to reach higher than that was Fever, which hit #3 in 2002—and that one had the benefit of her massive hit “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head” behind it.

To cap off the Kylie mania, Instinct has posted the second part of my d’luvvly interview with her on their website. So be sure to check that out. (Read the first part here.)

And below are some leftover bits from the interview that you won’t read in either the magazine or on the Instinct site.

You expressed some thoughts you have now about X in hindsight. But I have to say, I still have that CD in my car and I listen to it at least once a week.
KYLIE MINOGUE: Oh! A lot of people tell me they…

Kylie Minogue’s Aphrodite bested new releases from Enrique Iglesias (#6) and Feeder (#16) on the UK album chart, where it bumped Eminem’s Recovery off the top spot. (In Australia, however, Eminem stayed at #1 while Kylie entered the chart at #2—HATERS!!!!!)

It should be a pretty victorious week for Kylie, as Aphrodite also cracked the Top 10 in Belgium (#6), Ireland (#5), The Netherlands (#4) and Spain (#3), and looks to be on course for becoming Minogue’s first U.S. Top 20 album since Fever (which reached #3 in 2002).

“Thank you all around the world for your #Aphrodite LOVE!!! Amazing chart positions everywhere and I am absolutely thrilled!!!! Love Kylie x,” she tweeted today.

And here she is sending the gays into a frenzy at G-A-Y at Heaven in London last night:

Sorry, Enrique—but that’s what euphoria looks like. Aphrodite is now Kylie’s fifth album to hit #1 in the UK, following Kylie…

Here’s part of the interview I did with Kylie Minogue for Instinct (click the image to make it a readable size). It was fashioned into the mag’s “Soapbox” feature, wherein I asked her a series of questions loosely based around one theme (in this case, fandom). She also talks about her BFF Jake Shears a bit here.

Yes, I get the tiny little “moderated by” by-line that’s nearly hidden in the spine in the lower left corner above. (A rule I believe I had a hand in establishing back when I worked there full time!)

I also reviewed Aphrodite in the July/August issue. Here’s the writeup:
Rest of Kylie interview to come!

Alright, Kylie stans, Chart Rigger has a nice little pack of goodies to giveaway ahead of the release of her album next week. This includes:

* The deluxe “Experience” edition of her full Aphrodite CD

* The 7″ picture disc of “All The Lovers” (containing B-side “Los Amores”—i.e. “All The Lovers” in Spanish)

* “All The Lovers” CD single (containing B-side “Go Hard Or Go Home”)

* “All The Lovers” remix CD (with Wawa & MMB Anthem Remix, Michael Woods Remix, XXXChange Remix and the music video)

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO: Now, pay attention pop chyldren. The first person to name 1.) my favorite Kylie album (excluding Aphrodite, so just pick from the other 10 studio albums), 2.) any one of my 10 favorite Kylie singles and 3.) one of my two cats (both of which have been mentioned and pictured more than once on here) in the comments section—as well as emails…

Blargh! Katy Perry’s piece of summer treacle “California Gurls” has now asserted itself at the top of the UK chart like a prize whore taking the dominant position with a skittish john on a ripped up mattress in the alley behind a Holiday Inn.

But enough about that creamy slut! Kylie Minogue’s “All The Lovers” hangs in there like a pert-assed trooper this week, only dropping two positions to #6. Kylie has been ramping up the promo blitz ahead of the release of Aphrodite by appearing on Friday Night With Jonathan Ross on, well, Friday, and surprising the crowd at Glastonbury yesterday by performing with Scissor Sisters. She needs to fly back to her homeland, though—”All The Lovers” debuted at #14 in Australia (betraying HATERS!!) last week and has now dropped to #22 there.

And speaking of Scissor Sisters and flops, their lead single off Night Work, “Fire With Fire,” debuts at…

Based on downloads alone (physical release next Monday), Kylie Minogue’s first Aphrodite single “All The Lovers” charts this week at #4 in the UK. Damn the football anthems!

So far it’s Kylie’s highest-charting song since “2 Hearts” went in at #4 in November 2007 (see: A History Of Kylie Minogue At #4). In Australia, “All The Lovers” debuts at #14. (Haters—turning on one of their own!) At least it went to #1 in Belgium, where the ball and chain is jetting off to on Tuesday!

By my count—and granted, I had a lot to drink last night—”All The Lovers” marks Kylie’s 26th Top 5 single in England, if we include the Robbie Williams duet “Kids.” We’re also one month shy of when Kylie made her major return to pop divadom 10 years ago with “Spinning Around.” Bitches need to keep downloading and then go buy that CD single when it comes out….
