Kylie Minogue EXCLUSIVE: Padam Padam becomes her first UK Top 10 song in 12 years

Nick Cave has recalled being “high” while taking to the stage with Kylie Minogue on Top Of The Pops.The Bad Seeds frontman was speaking as part of The Louis Theroux Podcast recently when he discussed the making of his 1995 track ‘Where The Wild Roses Grow’ — which saw him join forces with the Australian pop star.Describing the message behind the song, he said: “It was a murder ballad that ends with the character killing his beloved… It was quite something at the time for Kylie to take on.”“I certainly wasn’t in showroom condition,” he continued. “Her management were like ‘This is a bad idea’ because we were a bunch of dark drug-addicted monstrosities… but she was determined to do that.”The 65-year-old songwriter then told the host that he struggles to “remember much” about his time performing the song with Minogue on Top Of The Pops, although the two did remain close after the appearance.“We have stayed very good friends,” he explained.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music The No.1 albums never stopped for Kylie Minogue in the U.K. – but in recent years that hasn’t been the case with her singles. All that has changed with the lead track from Minogue’s forthcoming 16th album, “Tension,” due out September 22. “Padam Padam” has become her first Top 10 U.K. hit as a lead artist since 2010, and her first appearance in the chart’s top tier of any kind since 2011. That means she has now had Top 10 British hits across a remarkable five consecutive decades. “We were all confident we were going to have a great result,” says Jamie Nelson, SVP of U.K. Recordings at Minogue’s label, BMG, who has worked with the star for over 20 years. “But it’s now flipping into an area that’s unprecedented, not just for her, but for a lot of projects that have got so much history.”
