Kylie fans are spinning around and yelling “Wow” after learning that the Brit Awards has snubbed her infectious hit “Padam Padam”.
Despite the awards mainly celebrating the best of British talent, there are also categories dedicated to recognising international artists, into which Aussie pop princess Kylie would have slotted in nicely.
Although the singer did bag a nomination in the best international artist category, many fans also believed she’d be certain for a nod in the best international song category for last year’s gay favourite.
“Padam Padam” was so catchy that it became Kylis’ biggest UK hit in more than 10 years, and her most successful song in the US in two decades.
After learning the track wasn’t nominated by the Brits, fans couldn’t contain their disappointment, with some threatening to “riot”.
One asked: “Why has the @BRITs failed to nominate ‘Padam Padam’ for international song of the year when it clearly should have been at the top of the list?
“Yes, @kylieminogue has been nominated for international artist, but what about some recognition for the ‘Padam’ songwriters and producers?”
