Kylie Minogue has rubbished reports that she has parted ways with record label Parlophone after disappointing sales of her recent album, Kiss Me Once.
Taking to Twitter to deny the claims, Minogue tweeted:
Whoaahhh... @parlophone!! According to 'sources' we r 'breaking up'! 😳 Not true. Exciting times ahead! 💖💋👯#LOVEu4EVA

The Australian star joined the third series of The Voice UK to promote the record, but despite exposure on primetime television, the album peaked at No.2 on the UK charts and lead single 'Into The Blue' flopped, reaching only No.12 in the charts. Subsequent singles 'I Was Gonna Cancel' and 'Crystalize' failed to crack the Top 40. Now, The Sun newspaper reported she ditched label Parlophone, which she now denies.
"The deal with Parlophone has come to a natural end," said a source to the tabloid. "She has the option to re-sign with them, but has decided against it because of what happened with Kiss Me Once.
"Kylie is one of the world's leading pop stars, so she was bitterly disappointed about the performance of her album. Kylie did everything she could, even agreeing to be a judge on The Voice for a year, which is something she would've liked to avoid."
