It's a great day to be a Kylie Minogue fan! The Australian Pop-Princess has today (Wednesday 6th October) released her brand new single 'A Second To Midnight', alongside Years & Years.

The upbeat new single is the first to be released from Kylie's upcoming new album 'DISCO: Guest List Edition', where the 53-year-old songstress also collaborated with artists such as Dua Lipa, Jessie Ware, and disco legend Gloria Gaynor.

Kylie and Years & Years star Olly Alexander both feature in the fun new video to accompany the release, with the pair donning some pretty spectacular print coats as they dance alongside each other.

Watch the video for 'A Second To Midnight' below:

Kylie has been promoting the new track on her social media pages all week, writing this morning: '#ASecondToMidnight is OUT NOW 🌙 Thank you @yearsandyears for joining me on this song! I had so much fun channeling my inner Olly in this video - felt like a KING 😉 Link in stories'. (sic)

Fans of the legendary performer were quick to express their love for Kylie's new single with Years & Years.

One commented: 'ICONIC!!! ❤️', with another writing: ' THIS IS WHAT WE NEEDED'. A third then added: ' Super song 🙏🏻🙏🏻😘😘'. (sic)

Olly, who also recently worked alongside Elton John, expressed his joy at working alongside his idol, admitting it is a 'dream come true'.

He wrote: 'i can’t believe i’m typing this… 💫🕛A Second To Midnight 🕛💫by @kylieminogue ft. ME (!!!!) is out now 🧜🏻‍♂️Kylie is everything and working with her was a literal dream come true. Her music has consistently inspired me since I was a kid, she is a true icon I am pinching myself this actually happened!! Thank you Kylie for this amazing experience, working together was so fun and I’ll never get over being on set with you, I got chills just being there as you did your thing! Actual Kylie Minogue! I’m so so so happy to have created this song with you'. (sic)

Check out the best songs to sing on karaoke:

1) Queen - 'Don't Stop Me Now'

This is probably the most challenging tune on the list, simply because of Freddie Mercury's falsetto at the beginning. We know you can do it, though - believe in yourself and channel your inner Queen!

2) Rick Astley - 'Never Gonna Give You Up'

Magic Radio fave Rick Astley dropped by the Magic Breakfast Show to give an exclusive performance to celebrate our 100% Christmas Live session. This song is one of the most beloved songs in the entire world, so we couldn't exactly leave it off! The words are easy to remember, and it's not too high or too low! You can count on Rick.

6) ABBA - 'Waterloo'

It wouldn't be a real karaoke night if no-one sang an ABBA song. 'Waterloo' has to be the surest bet here – catchy, fun and a real foot-tapper.

7) Billy Joel - 'Uptown Girl'

Everyone loves 'Uptown Girl'! It reminds us of those old 'NOW' compilation CDs we used to get for Christmas. Bring this out at karaoke and everyone will love you.

8) Robbie Williams - 'Angels'

Even Robbie Williams can't manage to sing 'Angels' live anymore without everyone singing (sometimes shouting) along from the beginning! It's no surprise though... You can't get better than this crowd-pleaser.

9) Mark Ronson - 'Valerie' ft. Amy Winehouse

'Valerie' is a perfect singalong choice! Even if you do get lost, the audience are guaranteed to be singing along with you anyway. No-one will ever notice...
