[edit] Music video
"In Your Eyes" featured a music video that was directed by Dawn Shadforth. The video features Minogue in a studio filled with colourful neon lights. There are two sequences; the first features Minogue and a group of dancers in front of a colourful background, the second is simply Minogue spinning before a background of flashing lights. Throughout the video, the two scenes are intercut and gradually fade.
The video featured an extension of the futuristic theme first introduced in the music video for "Can't Get You out of My Head" the previous year. Minogue and her artistic director William Baker had become interested in the street interpretation of robotic, jerky movements and included this is the video. The costumes also represent this interest and were described by Baker as being a mix of "hip hop chic with sci-fi lunacy".[1]
Released to music video channels prior to the single's commercial release, the video was a hit, charting at number one on MTV's Hit List UK and at number four on MTV Europe's top twenty countdown.[2] The video was first released commercially as a DVD single in Australia in 2002, but was also included on the Ultimate Kylie companion DVD, released in December 2004.
[edit] Chart performance
"In Your Eyes" was released on February 18, 2002. It was originally scheduled for release in January, but was delayed because of the airplay popularity of "Can't Get You out of My Head".[3] It debuted at number three on the UK singles chart, becoming Minogue's twenty-second top ten single. The song remained on the chart for sixteen weeks, three of which were in the top twenty. It was also an airplay hit in the UK, where it reached number one. The song also peaked at number seven on the Club Chart.
The single became a hit elsewhere in Europe, reaching the top five in Croatia, Georgia, Greece, Hungary, Poland and Slovenia. "In Your Eyes" was released Canada and Mexico, but not in the United States where "Can't Get You out of My Head" had just been released. The song reached number eleven on the Canadian single sales charts and number one of the Mexican Airplay chart.
In Australia, "In Your Eyes" was released as scheduled on January 21, 2002. The song was certified gold prior to its release on pre-sales only.[4] It debuted at number one on the ARIA singles chart and became the fourth single by Minogue to reached the top position since 2000.
