The record was released and shot to number one in Australia, in 1987 and climbed to the top five on the U.S. charts.

Resume: Her second hit single, \"I Should Be So Lucky,\" paved the way for more number one hits in Australia and the U.K., including 1990\'s \"Better the Devil You Know\", her fourth album, Let\'s GO to It, a self-titled fifth album, and her sixth album, Impossible Princess. Each album represented an evolution in Kylie\'s music, culminating in a revival of her pop roots with 2000\'s Light Years. The album produced hits such as \"Spinning Around,\" but it was 2001\'s single, \"Can\'t Get You Out of My Head,\" that brought Kylie international success and made her a U.S celebrity.
Following her hit single, the album, Fever in October, won her two Brit Awards in February 2002 for \"Best International Female\" and \"Best International Album\". In 2004 she released, Body Language, and soon after began her worldwide Showgirl tour. In mid-May, 2005, at age 36, Kylie was unexpectedly diagnosed with the early stages of breast cancer and began undergoing treatment.
Romance: Had a romantic relationship with INXS singer Michael Hutchence. Briefly dated actor Pauly Shore. Dated rocker, Lenny Kravitz. Currently engaged to actor Olivier Martinez.
Know for: Her sexy image. A stylish fashion sense.
Quotes: "I never say never about a lot of things. Whatever you want, then more power to you. If someone feels they have to live up to a certain image, then I can kind of understand that pressure because I\'m considered to be one of those images, and I know how unreal they are." - Kylie Minogue
"I don\'t have to try to be a sex bomb, I am one!" - Kylie Minogue
"Since my first hit, I can\'t believe how quickly time has passed. This collection is very dear to me and holds a lifetime of memories. There is nothing like time to give you a sense of perspective and I hope the listener gets as much enjoyment out of these tracks as I do. At this point in my career, I am happy to celebrate the past and look forward to the future." - Kylie Minogue
