You can count on the fingers of one hand the number of “pop” artists who’ve lasted more than a decade, let alone more than two decades! In July 1987 Kylie released her first single, a remake of the 1962 Little Eva hit "Locomotion". The song hit No.1 in Australia and remained in the top spot for seven weeks, becoming the biggest Australian single of the ‘80’s. Twenty years later she now holds the record for the most played female artist on UK radio over the last 20 years!

Since then she has released nine studio albums, two live CDs, seven live concert DVD’s, plus her Greatest Hits and the Ultimate Kylie double album and multiple video packages. This is of course in addition to 43 singles released internationally, all of which have been hits.

Kylie’s performed for Royalty in Britain and Europe, she’s received countless gold and platinum discs; three Grammy nominations; she’s been honoured with numerous prestigious awards and in 2000 closed the Sydney Olympics. She’s sold-out six world tours, including the critically acclaimed 2006/2007 “Showgirl Homecoming” concert which saw her concluding the original Showgirl tour that was cut short due to her illness.

She’s graced the covers of the world’s leading magazines, including Attitude, Australian Style, Cleo, Cosmopolitan, Elle, The Face, FHM, Follow Me, Glamour, GQ, Harpers Bazaar, Heat, Hello, ID, Melody Maker, Ministry, Music Week, OK, Paris Match, Rolling Stone, Sky, Select, Time and multiple covers of Vogue (Australian Guest Editor in 2006), the list is endless.

In February 2004 Kylie received a Grammy for ‘Come Into My World’ which was the ‘Best Dance Recording’. During 2004, polls released by the PPL reveal that Kylie is the most played female artist on UK radio over the last 20 years and 4th overall !

In 2005, ‘Kylie – the Exhibition’ opened in Melbourne. The free exhibition featured costumes and photographs spanning Kylie’s entire career and went on to tour Australian capital cities receiving over 500,000 visitors, before opening at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London in January 2007 where the show set a new attendance record with 8,000 visitors in one week.

When the tickets went on sale for Kylie’s biggest concert tour to date, ‘Showgirl’ a greatest hits extravaganza celebrating her extraordinary career thus far, dates sold out instantly. She performed 23 sold out nights at only four venues in the UK including seven nights at Earls Court Arena where she set the record for the most dates by a female artist ever at a UK venue. She went on to do the same at Wembley and Manchester in 2007.

Also in 2007 Madame Tussaud’s in London unveiled a new waxwork of Kylie, her fourth waxwork there - only the Queen has had more models created.

Kylie’s range of perfumes, first released only 12 months ago have already broken sales records around the world. Her latest scent entitled “Showtime” is being announced in Paris this month.

Kylie’s latest album, her eagerly awaited 10th studio album, entitled “X” is set for release on Saturday 24th November. The first single from the album, 2 Hearts is already topping playlists around the world.
