KYLIE is a
phenomenon of truly international proportions. To date she has released
six albums, five long-play videos, in addition to the Greatest Hits double
album and video package and 29 singles throughout the world, all of which
have been hits. Today Kylie is one of the world's most successful female
music artists, with countless Platinum albums, music industry awards, No.
1 hits around the world and sales well into the tens of millions!
"Kylie" is literally a household name throughout the world. |
She has received dozens of
awards, Gold and Platinum discs and countless international hits; over a dozen
throughout Japan, Europe and South-East Asia, several in Canada and South
America, three top 40 hits and a Gold album in the U.S. She has been the guest
of Royalty in Britain and Europe, and the subject of several invitations for
Royal Command Performances.
Two sell-out world tours, the Lennon Memorial Concert in Liverpool in 1992 and
most recently her critically acclaimed Intimate & Live Concert Tour
resulting in 24 packed houses throughout Australia and another 3 in London which
left U.K. fans clamouring for more.
Kylie's third duet "Where The Wild Roses Grow", a "Murder
Ballad" penned by Nick Cave and recorded with Nick and his band The Bad
Seeds was released internationally in 1995, becoming her 25th consecutive hit
peaking at No. 2 in Australia and 11 in Britain.
The 7th album Kylie Minogue (aka Impossible Princess) was released in March
1998. With all lyrics by Kylie Minogue, Impossible Princess, featuring
collaborations with The Manic Street Preachers, Brothers In Rhythm and Dave Ball
(Soft Cell, The Grid), became yet another No 1 for Miss Minogue (Australian
Music Report).
Recent collaborations include the successful cult underground dance track G.B.I.
recorded with leading Japanese artist Towa Tei (of Dee-lite fame); a track
called In Denial with the Pet Shop Boys for their album, a duet with Ben Lee on
The Reflex for a Duran-Duran tribute album, and another duet with Robbie
Williams for his next album!
October '99 saw Kylie release a collectible art book featuring contributions
from many of the world's most respected artists, on the theme of
"Kylie". Demand for the book was unprecedented with a second printing
within the first month of release! Kylie has just finished her first album for
Parlophone "Light Years", amidst huge anticipation. Suffice to say
that she is already claiming that it is her strongest album yet, a confidence
amplified by all who have heard it.
As Kylie has diversified, this consummate pop artist has seen her audience
evolve with her. She is now a truly international superstar with not only 26 Top
20 consecutive UK hits to her name, but the promise of many more to come.
