Kylie Minogue's 'Padam' makes Urban Dictionary with the pop star credited with coining the phrase - as she has her biggest hit in over a decade
Kylie Minogue is topping the charts with her latest single Padam Padam, making it her greatest hit in over a decade.
The Australian pop princess, 55, is also making waves online as the single has gone viral on TikTok, with her lyrical phrase 'Padam' even making it to Urban Dictionary.
According to the dictionary, 'Padam' is 'An onomatopoeia for the sound a heartbeat makes when you’re a diva who’s slaying, coined by Kylie Minogue.'
Kylie is one of few female musicians that has had a long-standing pop career as continues to have her bangers played on radio, and she isn't letting the societal constraints that have been put on middle-aged women stop her.
In her music video Padam Padam, the pop star is her usual sexy self as she dances in several racy red outfits.
The addictive electro-pop tune is racing to the top of the music charts in the UK and Australia.
It reached No. 9 on the UK Singles Chart, while Down Under, the song has climbed to No. 29 on the ARIA chart.
It's the first time that the 55-year-old has had a top ten hit in the UK since her collaboration with Taio Cruz, Higher, reached No. 8 in the 2011.
In Australia, Padam Padam has become Kylie's first major success on the ARIA chart since Timebomb peaked at number 12 in 2012.
According to ARIA's official site, Kylie has had a total of 43 hit singles in the top 30 over the last three decades.
The song has propelled Kylie into an unexpected late career high, not seen since her Can't Get You Out of My Head days.
The catchy dance track has become a viral sensation on TikTok and Twitter, racking up millions of views through hilarious memes.
Kylie addressed her chart comeback on social media this week, thanking fans for their support.
'It has been an incredible week topped off by being my birthday today and I can’t thank you enough. My heart is bursting with joy so thank you so so much,' she gushed.
'What an incredible, another wild turn in my life and my career. Thank you so much for all of your love and support, everyone who has got onto Padam Padam and made this possible for me. I love you, thank you so so much.'
