By wearing Kylie’s name on her T-Shirt at the 2000 MTV Europe Music Awards, even Madonna knows that Kylie Minogue is quite a contender for the title ‘Queen if pop’ and at 32, entertaining the world for over 14 years, she certainly deserves the title. Kylie Minogue, who hails from Australia, began her career as an actress in 1986 starring as Charlene in the popular soap ‘Neighbours’, fans were devistated when she and then real-life boyfriend Jason Donovan, decided to no longer appear on the soap.
Soon afterwards, at a charity gig, she and a couple of friends from Neighbours decided to sing a cover of The Locomotion and it was that day which brought us Kylie Minogue, the singer. She later released The Locomotion in Australia which was a massive hit and a number 1 for a long time. She then released I Should Be So Lucky both in Australia and Europe where I Should Be So Lucky became one of the most successful songs of
1988.
She released her No:1 debut album ‘Kylie’ (which is also the second most successful debut album from the youngest artist second only to Britney Spears) in 1988 which got her a string of hits around the world, even her only US hit single. She had another UK number one when she duetted with then boyfriend Jason Donovan on Especially For You, her second most successful hit to date. She released ‘Hand on Your Heart’, her 3rd UK number 1 which was from her second album ‘Enjoy Yourself’ in 1989 along with her first lead film role in ‘The Delinquints’ from which a cover of ‘Tears On My Pillow’ was released, her 4th UK number one and
another hugh European hit.
