Artistfacts:
| She was born in Melbourne Australia, of Welsh ancestry. |
| A highly successful TV actress during her teens, she was signed to a recording contract after being spotted performing "The Locomotion" in a pub with the cast of her TV show after an awards presentation. Her cover of "The Locomotion" topped the Australian charts for 7 weeks, resulting in a UK record deal. Song went on to reach number 2 in UK and number 3 in US. |
| In 1988, she became the youngest female to top the UK album charts when her self-titled album went to #1. |
| Kylie is the only performer to place her first 13 singles in the UK top 10. |
| She is one of only two women to top the UK charts during the 80s, 90s and 00s. The other is Madonna. |
| Kylie has always emulated Madonna. Madonna repaid the compliment by wearing a Kylie Minogue T-shirt when she performed "Music" during the MTV Europe award show in 2001. |
| She played a cameo as the Green Fairy in the movie "Moulin Rouge". She also recorded a cover version of Olivia Newton-John's "Physical" for the film but it was cut by director Baz Luhrmann. (thanks, Ross - Brisbane, Australia, for all above) |
| In May, 2005, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After undergoing surgery doctors expect she will make a recovery. (thanks, Marielle - Brisbane, Australia) |
| She was nominated for her first Grammy - Dance for "Slow" - in 2004. She was beaten by Britney Spears, who won for "Toxic," a song she picked up after Ms. Minogue rejected it for her album. (thanks, Jo - Newcastle, Australia) |
