Despite having tremendous success in other countries, Kylie Minogue has not had the same luck in the United States.
According to Reuters, Kylie Minogue’s first album in four years, X, debuted at No. 139 on the Billboard 200, with only 6,000 copies sold.
Regardless of her low album sales, the Australian singer was in the United States the week of her April 1 album release doing TV interviews on NBC's "Today," CBS' "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" and the "Ellen DeGeneres Show." She also sang on ABC's "Dancing with the Stars."
X, Minogue’s fourth U.S release, was released internationally in November and debuted at No. 1 in Australia and No. 2 in Britain.
However, not being a well-known superstar in the U.S may have its benefits.
“It's a slightly weird situation for me because I can still walk the streets here [in Los Angeles] and no one will recognize me. I love it," Minogue told Reuters.
A spokesman for Capitol Records, which released X in a partnership with Astralwerks, said a lot of Minogue’s U.S fans bought imported copies of her album and insisted that the album’s campaign was still in its early stages, according to Reuters.
Minogue kicks off a European tour in France on May 6.
