Kylie Ann Minogue was born on 28 May, 1968. The eldest of three children, Kylie's acting career began early, but it was her role as Charlene in the Australian soap Neighbours which established Kylie as an international star. Her singing career began purely by accident when a record company executive heard Kylie's rendition of Little Eva's 1962 hit "The Loco-Motion". She signed with PWL Records and hit-makers Stock/Aitken/Waterman in 1987. Five albums and a greatest hits compilation followed, and she made history by having more than 20 consecutive top ten hits in the UK. Her motion picture debut came with the starring role of Lola in The Delinquents. She left PWL Records in 1992 to head in a decidedly more mature musical direction, and her self-titled debut on deconstruction records was released in 1994, spawning chart hits like "Confide In Me" and "Put Yourself In My Place". Kylie's doings were always a favorite subject of the press, but she really made waves with her controversial 1995 duet with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, "Where the Wild Roses Grow". 1997 saw the release of Kylie's first single in more than 3 years, "Some Kind of Bliss" co-written and produced by James Dean Bradfield and Sean Moore of The Manic Street Preachers.

For the music video Kylie recreated scenes made famous by Brigitte Bardot in the movie ...And God Created Woman. August 1992: Featuring 19 of her videos to date, "Kylie: Greatest Video Hits" debuted at #1 on the UK Music Home Video charts. Including 19 hit singles, and 3 new tracks, "Kylie - Greatest Hits" debuted at #1 on the UK charts, giving Kylie her 3rd album to reach #1 on the UK charts. (August 1992) 16th November 1992: A cover version of Kool And The Gang's "Celebration" (which was originally recorded for inclusion on the "Let's Get To It" album), was held back and remixed for "Greatest Hits" (1992). The song debuted in the Top 20 at #20 in the UK, making it Kylie's 19th consecutive UK Top 20 hit and 21st Internationally. Other chart activity includes: #4 in Israel. #21 in Australia. #36 in Slovenia. A long time favorite of Kylie's, this was her final single release for PWL, before she signed a new record deal with deConstruction Records in 1993. The accompanying video was filmed entirely on location in Rio to recreate the spirit of the Mardi-gras. October 1995: Single "Where The Wild Roses Grow" (duet with Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds) peaks at #2 in Australia and #11 on the UK charts. This murderous love ballad was released as a single in place of "Time Will Pass You By", which would have been the fourth single from the album "Kylie Minogue". To date, this remains one of Kylie's personal favorite recordings, and she often reveals in interviews that she can't imagine her career without having recorded this duet. This song was Kylie's 23rd UK Top 20 single and 25th internationally. Other chart activity includes: #1 in Croatia, Israel & UK Indie Charts. #2 in Sweden. #3 in Belgium, Norway & on Latvian Airplay. #4 in Austria & on Slovenian Airplay. #5 in Finland & Iceland. #6 in Lithuania. #9 in The Netherlands . #10 in New Zealand. #11 in Switzerland & on MTV Euro Top 10. #12 in Denmark & Germany. #26 on German BRAVO. #45 in France. In March 1996, it was nominated at the UK Music Week Awards for best video 1996. Although it was considered an unlikely pairing, in October 1996, the song won Best Single, Best Pop Release & Best Song Of The Year at the 1995 Australian ARIA Music Awards. July 1995: Third single from the album "Kylie Minogue", "Where Is The Feeling? (BIR Dolphin Mix)" debuted at #16 in the UK. This song was Kylie's 22nd UK Top 20 single and 24th internationally. This was to be the final single release from the album, after the fourth single "Time Will Pass You By" was canceled in favor of a new track "Where The Wild Roses Grow". Other chart activity includes: #6 in Israel. #31 in Australia. A club hit for Within A Dream in 1993, "Where Is The Feeling" was initially planned as the follow up to "Confide In Me", although it nearly didn't make the "Kylie Minogue" (1994) album at all. The track was originally scheduled for release in April 1995 but delayed until July while Kylie completed filming on the movie Bio-Dome. Dramatically remixed for single release by Brothers In Rhythm and featuring sexy spoken word vocals Kylie had recorded for an early incarnation of the track, "Where Is The Feeling" became a casualty of the lengthy eight month gap since the last single release. November 1994: Second single from the album "Kylie Minogue", "Put Yourself In My Place" narrowly missed out on the Top 10 with a #11 debut in both Australia & the UK before hitting Top 10 in the UK. This song was Kylie's 21st UK Top 20 single and 23rd internationally. In September 1995, the video won Best Australian Video of 1994 at the 1995 Australian ARIA Music Awards. To this day, this remains one of Kylie's personal favorite recordings. The accompanying revolutionary music video by Kier McFarlane which saw Kylie recreate the opening sequence of the classic Jane Fonda movie, Barbarella, is also one of Kylie's favorites. Other chart activity includes: #2 in Israel. #6 in Croatia. Written by New York based songwriter Jimmy Harry especially for Kylie and recorded along with "If I Was Your Lover" during the "Kylie Minogue" album sessions in 1994, "Put Yourself In My Place" is regarded as Kylie's finest down tempo moment and is a regular favorite in her live shows. September 1994: Kylie's fifth studio album of new material titled "Kylie Minogue"debuted at #3 in Australia, and #4 in the UK. Instantly attaining Gold status, the album sold over 500,000 copies worldwide. This self-titled album is often referred to as "KM-94". She wrote and recorded this album from March 1993 through May 1994 at deConstruction Records with the likes of the Rapino Brothers, St.Etienne, Brothers In Rhythm, M-People and Farley & Heller in London and Jimmy Harry in NY. In December 1994, it was voted amongst the 10 best albums at the Smash Hits Awards. August 1994: The first single release from her eponymously titled fifth studio album "Kylie Minogue", "Confide In Me" debuted at #2 in the UK Charts and #1 in her native Australia, where it remained for five weeks. The single release featured an epic 10 minute remix by Brothers In Rhythm and two cover versions recorded during the album sessions: St. Etienne's "Nothing Can Stop Us" (which was her first recording with deConstruction Records) and a haunting take on Prefab Sprout's "If You Don't Love Me". "Confide In Me" was Kylie's 20th UK Top 20 single and 22nd internationally. To date, this remains one of Kylie's personal favorite recordings. The accompanying music video is also one of Kylie's favorites. Other chart activity includes: #1 in Croatia, Finland, Israel, Lebanon, Lithuania, New Zealand, Turkey. #5 in Japan. #7 in Slovenia. #9 in Macedonia & South Africa. #10 in France & Sweden. #16 in MTV European Top 20. #20 in Switzerland. #27 in Island. #38 in the Netherlands. #39 in Billboard Hot Dance / Club Play Charts.

Also winner of Best video & biggest selling Australian Single at the 1994 Australian ARIA Music Awards. Kylie has also recorded a French language version of this song. With its epic instrumentation, eastern influences and soaring vocals, "Confide In Me" was Kylie's biggest international hit of the 1990's. September 1997: Recorded in 1997, "Some Kind Of Bliss" (the first single from her 6th studio album "Impossible Princess") was released in the UK unfortunately the same week as the death of Princess Diana. This was a week that no-one bought music and consequently the single peaked at #22 in the UK, and it is to date her only UK single to not reach the Top 20, although it was a substantial airplay hit. Other chart activity includes: #1 in Israel. #3 in Hungary. #7 in Greece. #15 in Estonia. #17 in Italy. #20 in Russia. #22 in the UK. #24 on the Eurochart. #27 in Australia. #36 in Slovenia. #46 in New Zealand. The sweeping guitar based track was written by Kylie with James Dean Bradfield and Sean Moore of the Manic Street Preachers but its undeniable indie influence ultimately cast a shadow over the upcoming album which was actually more danced based. October 1997: Second single from the album "Impossible Princess", "Did It Again" was released and peaked at #14 in the UK, becoming Kylie's 25th consecutive Top 20 hit. The song was originally titled "Clever Girl (Did It Again)". Other chart activity includes: #1 in Israel. #8 in Yogoslavia. #15 in Australia. #19 in Greece. #21 in Slovenia. #29 in Macedonia. #50 in Hungary. The song was accompanied by a ground-breaking video, directed by Pedro Romanhi featuring four different Kylie's (Indie Kylie, Cute Kylie, Dance Kylie and Sex Kylie) fighting it out for supremacy. In April 1998, the video won an award for Special Effects at the Creative & Design Awards 1998, held in London. January 1998: Her sixth studio album of new material "Impossible Princess" is released in her native Australia where it debuted at #1 on the Australian Music Report and ARIA charts, also going Gold in the week of it's release. In the UK, the album title was changed to simply "Kylie Minogue" out of respect for the death of Princess Diana. This also led to a delay for the UK album release date. The album was eventually released in the UK in March 1998 where it debuted in the UK Top 10 at #10. To celebrate Mushroom Record's 25th Anniversary in Australia, her 1990 hit, "Better The Devil You Know", had an Australian only 1998 re-release with brand new mixes by Movers & Shakers. This re-release peaked at #59 in Australia. Her first live album, "Intimate & Live" peaked at #25 in the UK & #28 in Australia. (November 1998) November 1998: Released only in her native Australia, the fourth (and final) single to be lifted from the album "Impossible Princess", "Cowboy Style" , peaked at #31. The single included a non-album track "Love Takes Over Me", previously available on the Limited Edition EP "The Other Sides". The accompanying music video clip for the single was filmed at a dress rehearsal on the Australian leg of the "Intimate & Live" tour in July 1998. "Cowboy Style" was later reworked on Kylie's 2002 "Fever Tour" 'street style' section introducing a fresh hip hop flavor which referenced Eminen and Malcolm McClaren. The accompanying video projections were influenced by the work of artist Keith Haring. December 1997: Single "German Bold Italic (GBI)" with famous acclaimed Japanese artist Towa Tei released in Japan where it received a fabulous critical re-action. Shot on a hand held digi-cam, the wacky video featured Kylie in full Geisha attire roaming the streets and subways of New York. The single finally surfaced in the UK and Australia a year later in October 1998, but only managed a peak position of #68 in the UK and #50 in Australia. This was due to the fact that there was no promotion. "GBI" received its live debut on Kylie's Fever 2002 Tour. March 1998: The third single from the album "Impossible Princess", "Breathe" became her 28th consecutive UK Top 40 hit when it entered the UK Charts at #14. The song was released in a slightly remixed form. This was the final single release from the album "Impossible Princess" in all territories apart from Australia. Australia received a fourth single from the album "Impossible Princess" to co-incide with her "Intimate & Live" tour Australia-wide. Other chart activity includes: #1 in Israel. #3 in Russia. #9 in Greece. #11 in Slovankia & Slovenia. #13 in Spain. #20 in South Africa. #23 in Australia. Featuring mixes from club heavyweights Todd Terry and Sash, the gently hypnotic "Breathe" was Kylie's last U.K. single release from DeConstruction Records. September 2000: Second single from the album "Light Years" was "On A Night Like This". The single debuted at #2 in the UK and #1 in Australia, giving her the honor of being the artist with the most singles to enter the chart at #1 in Australian pop history. This became her 15th UK Top 10 single. The single was awarded Gold status in Australia in pre-sales alone, and would be eventually given a Platinum certificate. The single featured non-album track "Ocean Blue" and a special remix of "Your Disco Needs You" by Almighty Definitive.

In October 2000, fueled by her explosive performance of the song at the 2000 Olympics and massive exposure everywhere, the song re-entered the top position of #1 in Australia. In typical Kylie form, another record is broken with this achievement - she now holds the record for the biggest jump back into #1 from the lowest position. The previous record was held by The Bangles with "Eternal Flame" who had their song re-enter #1 from #3. Kylie did it from an impressive #5 position. September 2000: Her seventh album of new material "Light Years", was arguably the most anticipated album to date. Released to massive critical & commercial success, the album debuted at #2 on both the UK & Australian charts and, in its third week of release, became her first Australian No.1 album ever. The album achieved platinum sales in the UK, and became 4xPlatinum in Australia. She began working on the album in April 1999, and the album featured collaborations with Robbie Williams, Guy Chambers, Johnny Douglas, Steve Anderson and Richard Stannard. This was also her first release on the Parlophone label. There is also a hidden track "Password" located before the start of the album. To access it the listener must hold the rewind button past the first track "Spinning Around". In October 2000, (in its third week of release), the album continues to move out of stores at rapid pace, and gives Kylie her first Australian #1 album ever. In January 2001, it achieved platinum sales in the United Kingdom and triple platinum sales in Australia. In March 2001, it was awarded 4 x platinum sales in Australia.

It was the first of her singles to debut at #1 on the UK charts, and also her first UK #1 since "Tears On My Pillow" in 1990, making it her 5th UK #1 single. It was also her first Australian #1 single since "Confide In Me" in 1994, and also her fifth Australian #1. Reaching #1 in the UK gave her the honor of being one of two artists (the other being Madonna) to have a #1 UK single in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. The track achieved Gold status in the UK & Platinum in Australia. The single was backed by two previously unreleased tracks, "Paper Dolls" and "Cover Me With Kisses".

Denied the top spot in the UK by U2, "Kids" debuted at #2 in the UK, to become her third consecutive Top 2 hit since signing with the Parlophone label.
