Throughout her decades-long career, Australian Kylie Minogue can boast an impressive list of accomplishments. With over 80 million albums sold worldwide, 5 billion streams, two GRAMMY Awards, and a total of nine UK No. 1 albums, she has proven herself as one of the greatest stars in pop history.
Born and raised in Melbourne, Minogue first achieved recognition starring as Charlene Robinson in the Australian soap opera Neighbours (1986–1988). She began her music career in the late 1980s, releasing four bubblegum and dance-pop-influenced studio albums under PWL. By the early 1990s, Minogue had amassed several hit singles in Australia and the UK, including “The Loco-Motion”, “I Should Be So Lucky”, “Especially for You”, “Hand on Your Heart” and “Better the Devil You Know”. Taking more creative control over her music, she signed with Deconstruction Records in 1993 and released the albums Kylie Minogue (1994) and Impossible Princess (1997).
With massive hits like “Can’t Get You out of My Head,” “Spinning Around,” and last year’s catchy new tune “Padam Padam,” she sweetens life with danceable disco and sparkling pop.
In film, Minogue made her debut in The Delinquents (1989), and appeared in Street Fighter (1994), Moulin Rouge! (2001), Holy Motors (2012) and San Andreas (2015). In reality television, she appeared as a judge on The Voice UK and The Voice Australia, both in 2014.
Kylie Minogue has a unique ability to reinvent herself and continuously explore the dynamics of pop music, making her music feel current while celebrating the pop traditions we grew up with. With 16 studio albums behind her, she is once again in the spotlight with new music in the form of her brand-new album Tension II, which has received glowing reviews.
