In the league of pop singers, a certain Australian comes second only to [[Madonna (Music)|Madonna]]. That woman is now old enough to be some of our tropers' mothers (well, so is Madonna, but let's not get into that).

10 Australian number one singles to her name (7 UK, 5 US Dance Play), Kylie started off as an actor, appearing in ''Neighbours'' as [[Wrench Wench]] Charlene Mitchell. Her character, of course, married Jason Donovan's character.

In between her many hits and her many music videos where she doesn't wear very much, she has continued to appear in acting roles every so often. ''[[Moulin Rouge]]'' is one example (''[[Street Fighter (Film)|Street Fighter]]'' is another, but [[Old Shame|let's gloss over that]], and don't even ''start'' with ''[[Bio-Dome]]''), but her most recent was in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' 2007 [[Christmas Special]] "[[Doctor Who/2007 CS Voyage of the Damned/Recap|Voyage of the Damned]]".

In the UK she was one of the leading lights of the late-80s [[Stock Aitken Waterman]] (SAW) hit factory, along with Jason Donovan and [[Rick Astley]]. SAW were responsible for producing early number one singles such as "I Should be So Lucky" and "The Locomotion", with minimal input from Kylie herself. "Lucky" in particular was both popular and hugely reviled by the music press on account of its epic cheerfulness, and Minogue was a byword for naff for many years afterwards.
