Born on May 28th, 1968, Melbourne, Australia. Coming from a stage family, Minogue passed an audition for
the Australian soap opera, Neighbours, which eventually led to her recording debut with Little
Eva's hit, "The Loco-Motion". When the television series was successfully screened in Britain,
prolific hit producers Stock, Aitken And Waterman intervened to mould Minogue's attractive,
wholesome, anodyne image to their distinctive brand of radio-centred pop. The first UK single,
"I Should Be So Lucky", reached number 1 in early 1988, presaging an impressive chart run of
instantly hummable UK hits, including "Got To Be Certain" (number 2), "Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi"
(number 2), "Hand On Your Heart" (number 1), "Wouldn't Change A Thing" (number 2), "Never Too
Late" (number 4), "Tears On My Pillow" (number 1), "Better The Devil You Know" (number 2),
"Step Back In Time' (number 4), 'What Do I Have To Do" (number 6) and "Shocked" (number 6).
With solo success enhanced by duets with co-star Jason Donovan, including the UK number 1
"Especially For You", Minogue emerged as one of the most successfully marketed acts of the
late 80s and early 90s, with books and movies, including The Delinquents. In 1991, the former
soap star drastically changed her girl-next door image and adopted a sexier persona, which won
her even more media coverage - particularly when she became romantically involved with INXS
lead singer, Michael Hutchence. Kylie Minogue nude Further hit singles included a duet with
Keith Washington on "If You Were With Me Now", and "Give Me Just A Little More Time" (number 2).
Surprisingly, she even won some acclaim in the music press and found herself championed as an
unlikely "pop goddess", signing to dance music label Deconstruction Records in 1994. She enjoyed
another UK hit single the same year with the mature "Confide In Me". In 1996 she recorded a
single, "Where The Wild Roses Grow", with Nick Cave and the following year was working in the
recording studio with the Manic Street Preachers. The original title for Impossible Princess
had to be changed, as it was felt that it clashed with the death of Princess Diana. Not to
be confused with her 1994 self-titled release, Kylie Minogue was a much grungier album than
expected, but marked a downturn in Minogue's commercial fortunes that resulted in her being
dropped by Deconstruction. She signed a new deal with Parlophone Records in 1999, and returned
to the top of the UK charts the following July with the infectious dance single, "Spinning
Around". Light Years saw Minogue firmly back in the disco pop bracket, an area to which she
is clearly best suited. Kylie Minogue naked . She returned to the top of the UK singles chart
in September 2001 with the highly catchy "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" (written by former
Mud guitarist Rob Davis and Cathy Dennis). A sparkling new album followed to delight her fans.
Minogue's renaissance continued in America, with "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" breaking
into the Top 10 and Fever rapidly ascending the charts.
