Kylie Minogue is an Australian-British singer and actress that gained recognition when she starred in Neighbours (an Australian soap opera). She played the character Charlene Robinson, a tomboy mechanic.

Here are a few interesting facts about Kylie Minogue you may not know about:

1. In 1988, she became the youngest female that topped the UK albums charts when her self-titled album went straight to No.1.

2. She is the only performer that placed her first 13 singles in the UK Top 10.

3. She is only one of two women that topped the UK charts during the 80s, 90s and 00s. The second woman is Madonna.

4. Kylie Minogue has always emulated Madonna. Madonna repaid the compliment when she wore a Kylie Minogue t-shirt when she performed "Music" during the MTV Europe Award show in 2001.

Kylie Minogue has had many successful singles during her music career, among them are the songs "The Loco-Motion", "I Should Be So Lucky", "Hand on Your Heart", "Especially for You", "Love at First Sight", "Better the Devil You Know", "Confide in Me", "Spinning Around", "Slow", "All the Lovers", "2 Hearts" and more.

In November 2011, Kylie Minogue was inducted by the Australian Recording Industry Association into the ARIA Hall of Fame, and in December 2016, Billboard ranked her on the 18th spot of the list of most successful dance artists of all-time.

The song "Especially For You" by Kylie Minogue (featuring Jason Donovan) was written and produced by the team of Stock, Aitken & Waterman.

Waterman admitted that when he heard the finished version of the song, he hated it. He thought the the song had absolutely no passion, and everybody he played it to in the office hated it as well.

But, the song was going to be a smash hit because of who was singing it. So, Waterman and Stock spent some time remixing it, and somehow it came together at the last moment.

They then rushed to the pressing plant and got it out in time for Christmas.
