Kylie Minogue showed off her amazing physique in the premiere of her glamorous music video for her new holiday song, “XMAS,” on Monday.

The famous Australian singer, 57, looked amazing in a short, satin dress. It featured a black and white polka dot pattern and a large bow.

Kylie styled a playful look with a short, pixie-cut wig, leather opera gloves adorned with bows, and fashionable sunglasses, all while surrounded by presents.

As a huge fan, I was so excited to see Kylie perform the ‘Padam Padam’ dance – it’s so fun and energetic! And the video ended with her looking incredible in a Santa outfit, set against a beautiful snowy backdrop. It was the perfect festive finish!

She looked stunning in a short red dress with white fur trim, paired with tall black leather boots.

Kylie Minogue and the band Wham! are in a close race for the top spot on the charts, and the rise of music streaming is the reason why.

Despite being originally released 41 years ago and not being re-released, George Michael’s ‘Last Christmas’ is currently predicted to be the year’s most popular holiday song. Amazon, however, is heavily promoting Kylie’s new single, ‘XMAS,’ hoping to challenge its dominance.

Her new track is only available to download via Amazon and is not on Spotify or Apple Music. 

There’s a lot of talk in the music industry that Amazon might succeed, thanks to a hidden advantage: Alexa, its voice assistant.

Amazon will include XMAS’s song in its holiday playlists, so when Alexa users request Christmas music, her song will be played.

According to one insider, Amazon is strategically including Kylie Minogue in numerous playlists. The goal is to increase the chances that anyone asking Alexa to play a Christmas song will hear Kylie’s music, boosting her streams and helping her reach the top of the charts.

Wham! is really popular on Alexa too, making it hard to predict who will be number one this year. However, if anyone has a chance of surpassing them, it’s Kylie.

Because fewer people are buying physical copies of music, the way charts are calculated has changed. Now, 100 streams are equivalent to one sale.

This change has significantly impacted the top Christmas songs, giving an advantage to well-known classics and songs that are popular on streaming services.

According to Martin Talbot, head of the Official Charts Company, how the Christmas number one song is determined has changed dramatically thanks to streaming.

Popular songs from the past have a good chance of becoming hits again every year. This is because they stay popular on streaming playlists, something that wasn’t possible when people bought music on CDs or records.

Mariah Carey’s popular song “All I Want For Christmas Is You” has become even more successful thanks to streaming, consistently ranking among the top three most-played holiday songs in recent years.

Mariah explained that streaming has revolutionized the music industry, allowing songs to reach and resonate with younger audiences.

Both The Pogues’ “Fairytale of New York” and Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” are likely to be popular songs on the charts this year.

This method makes it harder for artists like LadBaby, who consistently release charity singles – including their 2019 chart-topper ‘Sausage Rolls For Everyone’ – to gain attention.

Two recent singles – “Lullaby,” a fundraiser for Palestine featuring artists like Peter Gabriel, and “Brighter Than The Night” with Vicky McClure, which supports dementia research – are gaining popularity, but aren’t expected to reach number one.

Kylie caught everyone’s attention posing with Tess Daly and Dianne Buswell backstage before performing her Christmas routine on Sunday’s Strictly semi-final results show.

Taking to Instagram, host Tess shared a sweet snap with Kylie behind the scenes.

Kylie turned heads in a white latex dress that showed off her amazing shape, and Tess looked stunning in a tight-fitting red gown.

Oh my gosh, there’s another picture and it just kills me! She was beaming right next to Dianne, who is absolutely glowing – seriously, she looked incredible in this gorgeous pink outfit, and she’s pregnant! It’s just… perfect. I can’t stop looking!

Earlier in the day, the star paid tribute to the Bondi Beach horror shooting victims. 

Taking to social media, Kylie penned: ‘My heart is with you Bondi,’ with a broken heart emoji.

Oh my god, it’s just… devastating. It happened Sunday night, right in the middle of Chanukah by the Sea – this beautiful, festive event they had at Bondi Pavilion, meant to be a fun night for families. And these two… these guys just opened fire with rifles! It’s just… I can’t even wrap my head around it happening at something so joyful. I was following updates all night, just hoping everyone was okay. It’s just awful, absolutely awful.

Australian authorities have confirmed the violence was a targeted act of terrorism.
