Kylie Minogue is a phenomenon of truly international proportions. To date she has released nine albums, six long-play videos, in addition to the Greatest Hits double album and video package, live album and video and 39 singles throughout the world, all of which have been hits.

Kylie’s recording career began in 1987 when she released her first single, a remake of the '60's Little Eva hit "Locomotion." The song hit No.1 nationally around Australia and remained there for seven weeks, becoming the biggest Australian single of the decade. The success of "Locomotion" led to Kylie teaming up with famed British record producers Stock, Aitken and Waterman in London.

Kylie’s eponymously titled debut album, released July 1988, contained the hit singles "I Should Be So Lucky," "Got To Certain", a re-recorded version of "The Loco-motion" and "Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi." It sold over 5 million copies worldwide. Her duet with Jason Donovan, "Especially For You" debuted at #2 and shipped silver on release bringing Kylie's single sales in the U.K. to well over 2 million in under 12 months.

In October 1989 Kylie released her eagerly awaited second album Enjoy Yourself which shot to No.1 in the U.K. with pre-sales of over 600,000 copies. The album spawned 4 worldwide hits including the No.1 singles "Hand On Your Heart" and "Tears On My Pillow."

Two more albums - Rhythm Of Love and Let’s Get To It – and more classic singles – "Better The Devil You Know," "What Do I Have To Do," "Shocked" - followed before the release of Kylie's Greatest Hits in 1992. The album collected all 19 hits along with three new songs and debuted at #1 on the UK charts.

September 1994 saw the release of her album simply entitled "Kylie Minogue". Greeted with much critical acclaim the album debuted at no. 4 in the U.K. All three singles released from the album became worldwide hits.

Kylie’s sixth studio album Impossible Princess (aka Kylie Minogue) was released in March 1998. With all lyrics by Kylie Minogue, "Impossible Princess," featuring collaborations with The Manic Street Preachers, Brothers In Rhythm and Dave Ball (Soft Cell, The Grid), became yet another No. 1 for Miss Minogue (Australian Music Report).

June 2000 saw the much anticipated release of "Spinning Around" the first single from Kylie's debut studio album for Parlophone Records. In true style she caused a sensation by debuting at Number 1 in both the UK and Australian charts. Spinning Around also gave Kylie the honour of being one of only two artists (the other being Madonna) to have a number one in the eighties, nineties and noughties!

September 2001 saw the Kylie phenomenon reach fever peak with the release of her global smash hit "Can’t Get You Out Of My Head" from the multi-platinum selling album Fever. The album generated a further three smash hit singles "In Your Eyes," "Love At First Sight" and "Come Into My World" and sold over six million copies worldwide.

In June of 1991, after the release of her 13th hit single, entitled Shocked, the British industry "Bible" Music Week magazine declared that Kylie was the ONLY act in the history of the British pop music to have their first 13 releases all go Top 10. Kylie now has 30 consecutive U.K. hits, none of which failed to peak in the Top 20, 20 in the Top 10.

Kylie spent the summer of 2003 recording her ninth studio album, Body Language in London, Ireland and Spain. Body Language was released in various territories on 17th November 2003. It was preceded by the hypnotic single “Slow”, written by Kylie Minogue/Emiliana Torrini and Dan Carey which debuted at number 1 in Australia and the UK.

Kylie's new album Body Language is in US stores now.
