Pop fans have been waiting decades for a crossover between music icons Madonna and Kylie Minogue \u2013 and their wish finally came true last week.<\/p>\n
Following the huge critical and commercial success of the Queen of Pop\u2019s latest release Confessions II, she dropped a new remix of the album cut Love Sensation, with a guest feature from Kylie herself.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, it was reported that the two divas were on course to return to the top 10 thanks to Love Sensation, and while many initially fans held off allowing themselves to get excited… they\u2019ve only gone and done it.<\/p>\n
Yes, on Friday evening, the Official Charts Company revealed that Love Sensation had entered at number eight, marking Madonna\u2019s highest-charting single since Celebration in 2009.<\/p>\n
In that time, she\u2019s only had one top 10 single, thanks to her feature on The Weeknd\u2019s hit Popular, but Love Sensation is her first time achieving this accolade as a solo artist in 17 years.<\/p>\n
She now has a total of 65 top 10s to her name \u2013 with only Elvis Presley and Cliff Richard boasting more.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Love Sensation is now the third Confessions II track to reach the UK top 40, following the Sabrina Carpenter duet Bring Your Love and the surprise hit Danceteria earlier in the summer.<\/p>\n
What an early birthday present for Madonna, who will be celebrating turning 68 this weekend.<\/p>\n
As for Kylie, she\u2019s been on something of a roll in recent history, since her chart resurgence off the back of her 2023 offering Padam Padam.<\/p>\n
Last year, the Australian star even managed to top the Christmas chart thanks to her festive offering XMAS.<\/p>\n
Madonna and Kylie have long been vocal fans of one another, previously sharing the stage on the Like A Prayer singer\u2019s Celebration Tour in 2024, where they performed a surprise duet of I Will Survive.<\/p>\n
More than a decade ago, Kylie opened up to HuffPost UK about her hopes to team up with Madonna one day, enthusing: \u201cThat would be incredible! It\u2019s like maybe the world would stop mid orbit! Yeah, it would be incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n
