Kylie Minogue had achieved an extremely high level of success on the UK singles chart up to this point, with 12 top ten singles, including 10 in the top five, and 3 at number one. In addition, a duet with Jason Donovan was also a number one hit single, and she had 3 top ten albums, including 2 that topped the charts.
However, "The Word Is Out" marked a blip in Kylie's success up to that point, staying in the UK singles chart for just five weeks and only reaching sixteenth place. The accompanying album, "Let's Get To It", was also significantly less successful in the UK albums chart than her first three LPs, reaching a peak position of fifteenth place.
