Kylie Minogue's new record label have championed her upcoming album, and believe it could their biggest ever.

The Australian, who made her live comeback last night (March 13) at London's Cafe de Paris, will release her fourteenth studio album Golden on April 6. It will be her first album with BMG UK, after leaving Parlophone, who she released seven studio albums with.

Alistair Norbury, BMG's UK president, repertoire and marketing, has huge confidence in Kylie's change in direction with her new album. "It’s going to be a defining moment for this label," he told Music Week. “We have taken our time and I feel proud that we’ve given her [Kylie] the space to make the record she wanted to make."

Kylie has an amazing track record on the Official Albums Chart, with five Number 1 LPs and a further 10 UK Top 10 albums. BMG UK believe Kylie will deliver huge numbers with her next release - with Norbury continuing: "We believe this is going to be the biggest ship of a BMG record in the UK that we’ve ever had. We anticipate that it will be the biggest-selling week one record we’ve ever had on BMG UK."

So far, Golden has spawned two country-tinged singles, Dancing and Stop Me From Falling. Both singles feature on this week's Official Trending Chart Top 20.

Kylie is currently previewing her new album with a string of intimate live shows across Europe, and she will embark on UK arenas later this year.

When released on April 6, Golden will be available on a variety of formats, including black, clear, and picture disc vinyl variants. Look through at the must-have vinyl albums coming in 2018.
