Kylie Sets New Chart Record
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver November 10th, 2003
Love her or loathe her, Kylie Minogue is the newly-crowned queen of the pop charts. Her new single, 'Slow', has gone in at number one, 15 years after her first time at the top.

'I Should Be So Lucky' topped the pop charts 15 years and nine months ago. That length of time means that Kylie has been a number one artist longer than any other female artist, ever. That even includes the previous record holder Madonna, whose 2000 release 'Music' peaked some 15 years and one month after 'Into The Groove' had reached the top spot.

Of course, whilst DiS congratulates Kylie on her new record (and fantastic arse, obviously), I would like to point out that 'Slow' is quite, quite terrible. DiSagree?
