Listen to my new Best Of, Step Back In Time on Deezer today
Regarded at first as a novelty act when production team Stock Aitken Waterman flew her to London to rush out a single on the back of her starring role in Australian soap opera 'Neighbours', Kylie Minogue immediately amazed the world over with her durable appeal. Appearing on TV shows from the age of 12, she topped the Australian charts for seven weeks in 1987 with 'The Locomotion', yet it was the popularity of 'Neighbours' with British teens that made 'I Should Be So Lucky' an instant smash. Her initial rush of pop fame faded in the early 1990s, but she reinvented herself with a sexier image, embracing dancier music and in 1995 collaborated with Nick Cave on the ballad 'Where the Wild Roses Grow'. Continuing to shift direction she had a number one in 2000 with 'Spinning Around', then another with 'Can't Get You Out of My Head'. In 2005 she overcame breast cancer and continued to wow fans with her music and infectious personality. That same year she embarked on her 'Showgirl' tour which saw her take to the road with some of her greatest hits. Her tenth album was released in 2007 under the title 'X' with collaborations with Calvin Harris, Cathy Dennis and Guy Chambers. Her eleventh album 'Aphrodite' was released in 2010 with its lead single 'All the Lovers' giving Kylie her 33rd top ten UK single. She celebrated 25 years in the music business in 2012 with her 'Anti Tour' of the UK and Australia which saw her perform lesser-known album tracks, b-sides and demos from her extensive catalogue. She also released 'The Best of Kylie Minogue' that year as well as 'The Abbey Road Sessions' which contained the singles 'Flower' and 'On a Night Like This'. In 2013 Kylie embarked on a new venture as a voice coach on BBC One's 'The Voice UK' alongside will.i.am, Ricky Wilson and Tom Jones. Soon after she revealed that she had been working on new material for her next album which was to be titled 'Kiss Me Once'. The album peaked at number one in Australia and number two in the UK. In 2017 she signed a new deal with BMG Rights Management for her next record 'Golden'. The album's lead single 'Dancing' peaked at number five in the UK with the album itself managing number one.Artist biography compiled by BDS/West 10. All rights reserved
