Born and raised in Melbourne, Minogue first achieved recognition in the Australian soap opera Neighbours (1986–1988). She began her music career in the late 1980s, releasing four studio albums under PWL. By the early 1990s, she had amassed several top five singles in Australia and the UK, including "The Loco-Motion", "I Should Be So Lucky", "Especially for You", "Hand on Your Heart" and "Better the Devil You Know". After taking more creative control over her music, she signed with Deconstruction Records and released the albums Kylie Minogue (1994) and Impossible Princess (1997), the former holding the number-one hit "Confide in Me".

Minogue returned to mainstream dance-pop after joining Parlophone with Light Years (2000), including the number-one hits "Spinning Around" and "On a Night Like This". Her next album, Fever (2001), was an international breakthrough and became her best-selling album to date. The lead single, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" topped the charts of over 40 countries and sold over five million units. It became one of the most commercially successful singles of the 2000s. Follow up singles include "In Your Eyes" and "Love at First Sight" which both peaked in the top-five. She continued reinventing her image and experimenting with a range of genres on her subsequent albums, which spawned successful singles such as "Slow", "I Believe in You", "2 Hearts" and "All the Lovers". She later partnered up with BMG Rights Management, with "Dancing" as their first release. After releasing Disco (2020), she became the only female artist to have a number-one album from the 1980s to the 2020s in the UK charts. Her sixteenth studio album Tension (2023) received widespread acclaim from critics, with the lead single "Padam Padam" noted as her recording comeback.
