Kylie Minogue
Kylie Ann Minogue (born May 28, 1968) is an Australian singer and actress. She rose to prominence in the late 1980s as a result of her role in the Australian television soap opera Neighbours, before commencing her career as a pop singer and recording artist. Her first album, Kylie, a collection of dance songs, reached number one on the British albums chart and became the years highest selling album. It sold over 7 million copies worldwide, and included the biggest hit, "I Should Be So Lucky". Her follow up album, Enjoy Yourself (1989) was a success in the United Kingdom and Australia, and contained several hit singles. Rhythm of Love (1990) presented a more sophisticated and adult style of dance music and also marked the first signs of rebellion against her production team and the "girl next door" image. During 1993 - 1998 Kylie's singing career was losing popularity.When the singles "Put Yourself In My Place" and "Where is the Feeling" failed to make the top ten in Britain or Australia, some commentators predicted the end of her career. In 1999 Kylie reinvented herself. The single "Spinning Around" became her first British number one in 10 years, and its accompanying video, featuring Minogue in revealing gold hot pants, received widespread television airplay. The subsequent single releases, including the duet "Kids" with Robbie Williams, also sold strongly. She joined Madonna as the second artist to achieve British number one singles in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. As of 2005, Minogue has sold more than 40 million singles and 25 million albums worldwide, and has had at least one number one hit in over 45 countries. In November 2005, Following Kylie's Successful Recovery from Breast Cancer, Minogue's tour management in Australia announced that Kylie Minogue will continue her Showgirl: The Greatest Hits Tour in late 2006. It was announced in June 2006 that the first of these performances would be at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on November 11, 2006. In her exclusive first interview since she announced the news of her diagnosis which aired on channel 9 in Australia on July 17, Minogue explained there would have to be some changes made to the format of the show and that getting back onstage would be a very emotional moment for her.
