Who is Kylie Minogue?
Kylie Minogue is one of the most successful chart stars of her generation, with a long and enviable pop career that has survived peaks, troughs and changing times. Kylie’s debut single, I Should Be So Lucky, produced by pop’s legendary “Hit Factory” Stock Aitken and Waterman, climbed to Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart in February 1988, marking the first of Kylie’s 7 UK Number 1 singles and 10 UK Number 1 albums.
Following her early chart-topping successes of the late ’80s/’90s on Pete Waterman’s record label PWL, Kylie’s pop career enjoyed a glittering renaissance in the early 2000s through Parlophone Records when comeback single Spinning Around, with its accompanying gold hot pants-adorned video smashed straight in at Number 1. The warmly-received comeback kicked off a run of 14 consecutive UK Top 10 hits for Kylie – the longest unbroken run of her career to date – including the iconic Can’t Get You Out Of My Head.
In November 2020, Kylie’s 15th studio album DISCO landed at Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart, and helped Australian singer Kylie make chart history as the first ever female artist – and second artist overall – to claim a UK Number 1 album in five consecutive decades.

Kylie Minogue was gifted an early XMAS present in December 2025, sleighing her way to secure her 11th UK Official Number 1 album with Kylie Christmas (Fully Wrapped).
A reissue of her 2015 release Kylie Christmas, which originally peaked at Number 12 took her level with the likes of David Bowie, Eminem and Rod Stewart in the league of artists with the most UK Number 1 albums.
Congratulations to Kylie Minogue on securing the Christmas Number 1 2025 with her single XMAS. Official Charts can confirm that in securing the Christmas Number 1 crown, Kylie Minogue becomes the first female artist to boast UK Number 1 singles across four different decades -the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2020s.
