[edit] Chart performance
On March 1, 2004, "Red Blooded Woman" was released in the United Kingdom. The song became Minogue's twenty-third top five single when it debuted at number five on the singles chart, beaten to number one by American pop-singer Britney Spears, who debuted in the top spot with "Toxic", and George Michael's comeback single "Amazing", which debuted at number four. "Red Blooded Woman" spent a total of nine weeks in the top seventy-five in the UK. Outside of the United Kingdom, the song was also successful. It reached number one in six countries including South Africa, where it became Minogue's seventh number one on the singles chart.
Due to favourable reception of Minogue's previous releases, "Red Blooded Woman" was released in the United States. Minogue had previously found success in the dance clubs with "Can't Get You Out of My Head" (2001) and "Slow" (2003), "Red Blooded Woman" became her sixth consecutive release to reach the top forty on the Billboard Dance Chart, where it peaked at number twenty-four. It also performed well on the Hot Dance Airplay chart, where it reached the top spot. The song however was not a success of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, failing to make an impact outside of the dance market, although several key top 40 stations, including KIIS-FM in Los Angeles, embraced the track and gave it heavy airplay, thanks to the song's more "urban" sound. The single reached number-four on the Russian Top 100.[1]
