Lifted from Madonna’s 13th UK Number 1 album CONFESSIONS II, the track marks her highest-charting single in nearly 17 years, since "Celebration" reached Number 3 in 2009. The success extends her record as the female artist with the most Top 10 singles in Official Chart history, bringing her total to 65. Madonna now stands behind only Elvis Presley with 76 and Cliff Richard with 68, spanning four decades of Top 10 hits across the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and 2020s.
Kylie Minogue secures her 37th Top 10 single with the track, following her 2025 Official Christmas Number 1 "XMAS." The achievement extends Kylie's run of UK Top 10 hits across five consecutive decades, dating back to the late 1980s. Together, the duo now boasts a combined total of 102 UK Top 10 singles.
The pair on Aug. 6 released the “Love Sensation (Afterhours Radio Edit)” and Love Sensation (Afterhours Mix),” two new versions of “Love Sensation” from Madonna’s July album Confessions II.
Helmed by Stuart Price, who also produced the album, the remixes present two different versions of the song, with the “Afterhours Radio Edit” maintaining many elements of the original while adding Minogue’s take on the second verse, for which she perfectly matches and compliments Madonna’s vocal tone. This edit comes in at three minutes and 35 seconds, seven seconds shorter than the original.
Recently Madonna brought out Kylie Minogue for a surprise performance of ‘Love Sensation’ at WorldPride Amsterdam – watch footage below.
It went down at the latest of Madonna’s ‘Club Confessions’ album launch shows at the AFAS Live venue last night (August 1), with the Queen of Pop playing for approximately 30 minutes after sets from Honey Dijon and Bebe Rexha.

As ‘Love Sensation’ began, Minogue emerged in a metallic purple outfit and joined Madonna to sing the track from the recently released ‘Confessions II’.
The Australian singer stayed on stage as Madonna closed out the set with ‘Sorry’ and ‘Hung Up’, both from 2005’s original ‘Confessions On A Dance Floor’ album.
