20 is a great place for Step Back in Time, and I wish I gave Put Yourself In My Place a 10
I hope I gave it a 10 but I don't think so.
It's her best ballad single (if that means anything in the 1st place) and one of Kylie's best single in my opinion. The chorus is the kind of chorus you sing along to as loud as you can whenever you feel down. I love that song.

I agree! I used to dislike it but now it's really grown on me. It's so comforting. I'm kinda disappointed KM94 isn't doing as well as I wanted it to.
All of the KM94 singles are easily top 20 worthy. Their performance is not excellent but good enough!
However, if "Confide In Me" doesn't make top 3 at least I will be fuming. I hope Kool_Aid_King kept his trolling down a notch this time.
But first, a little background info. Around the time that this song was released, Kylie was finalizing a US record deal. She had two options - sign with the major label, or the smaller subsidiary, Imago Records. She chose that subsidiary. It soon crumbled.
Put Yourself in My Place, arguably the last ballad Kylie released as a single, peaked at eleven in both of her biggest markets, but is the definition of a fan favorite - she's performed it at almost every tour since 1998.
Iconic. Who else gets a parody single at the time and gets sampled by J-Poppers twenty years later? THE IMPACT.
If Locomotion started it all, I Should Be So Lucky cemented Kylie's position in pop. A true event, the single started it's chart life in the UK in the nineties, and rose to number one, where it stayed for five weeks. It even went top forty in the US! Without this single, Kylie wouldn't exist. Recognize and respect it's brilliance.
The most tens of any song so far, Wow also is Kylie's biggest selling single in the UK of the past five years, give or take All the Lovers. The second single off of X, the album helped push copies (IN THE UK) because it very effectively reminded listeners of old Kylie and 80s Madonna.
"Put Yourself in My Place" is probably one of Kylie's most moving singles, not to mention that sexy-ass production. I think I would have liked to see it in the top ten?
Ooh, "I Should Be So Lucky" was robbed! I'm a little shocked (though maybe not, considering how early Kylie was dissed and dismissed in this rate).
"Wow" is cute and fun, but sort of leaves me shrugging. I could have probably stood to see it go earlier.
I should have taken ii's advice and excluded this song from the rate.
It's very cute, but c'mon.
Co-written by Kylie and Karen Poole (who also co-wrote Wow, and the next two songs on the list), Timebomb became the first song of Kylie's Parlo career to go top ten NOWHERE.
