From the beginning....... 
On this page I'll describe my star's life and career: the successes and failures, the joys and sorrows. Kylie's acting career began as a child, but it was her role as teenage mechanic Charlene Mitchell-Robinson in the Australian soap ''Neighbours'' which made her an international star in 1986. The next year she followed in the footsteps of many TV stars by recording a version of the 1962 dance song The Loco-Motion, arranged by the UK producers Stock-Aiken-Waterman. It was the most popular song in Australia during 1987 and the highest selling single of the decade. 7 albums and various greatest hits and remix albums have followed. Having become one of Europe and Australia's biggest recording stars, she left Neighbours in 1988 and starred in the movie: The Delinquents. Her pop music career was revived in 1992 after a couple of years out of the media spotlight with a new label - deConstruction Records (M People). With this company Kylie created some musical gems such as Confide In Me and Put Yourself In My Place. However, after the commercial flop of Impossible Princess (Did it Again, Some Kind Of Bliss & Breathe), in the UK it was time to leave DeConstruction & find a new home.
That brings us to today. Kylie signed up with Parlophone Records/ EMI in the UK and collaborated with some of the pop worlds best talent. Light Years is the result. Spinning Around debuted on the UK and Australian singles chart at No.1 . On a Night Like this has also been a chart topper throughout Europe and Australia. Kids, the duet with Robbie Williams (who also does backing vocals on Your Disco Needs You) debuted at No.2 on the UK charts. Kylie's back - in a BIG way!
