[[List of awards and nominations received by Kylie Minogue|Her accolades]] include two [[Grammy Awards]], four [[Brit Awards]] and eighteen [[ARIA Music Awards]]. Minogue is the highest-selling Australian female artist of all time, with sales surpassing 80 million records worldwide.<ref name="NFSA">{{cite web |author=Taylor, Beth |date=23 November 2020 |title=Kylie Minogue: 50 Fun Facts |url=https://www.nfsa.gov.au/latest/kylie-minogue-fun-facts |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201205223808/https://www.nfsa.gov.au/latest/kylie-minogue-fun-facts |archive-date=5 December 2020 |access-date=20 April 2024 |publisher=[[National Film and Sound Archive]]}}</ref> In 2024, ''[[Time 100|Time]]'' named her one of the most influential people in the world. Born and raised in [[Melbourne]], Minogue first achieved recognition starring as [[Charlene Robinson]] in the Australian soap opera ''[[Neighbours]]'' (1986–1988). She began her music career in the late 1980s, releasing four [[Bubblegum music|bubblegum]] and dance-pop-influenced studio albums under [[Pete Waterman Entertainment|PWL]]. By the early 1990s, Minogue had amassed several hit 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]]". Taking more creative control over her music, she signed with [[Deconstruction Records]] in 1993 and released the albums ''[[Kylie Minogue (album)|Kylie Minogue]]'' (1994) and ''[[Impossible Princess]]'' (1997). By joining [[Parlophone]] in 1999, Minogue returned to mainstream dance-oriented music with ''[[Light Years (Kylie Minogue album)|Light Years]]'' (2000), including the number-one hits "[[Spinning Around]]" and "[[On a Night Like This]]". The follow-up, ''[[Fever (Kylie Minogue album)|Fever]]'' (2001), was an international breakthrough for Minogue, becoming her best-selling album to date. The lead single, "[[Can't Get You Out of My Head]]", became one of the most successful singles of the 2000s, selling over five million units. Follow-up singles, "[[In Your Eyes (Kylie Minogue song)|In Your Eyes]]" and "[[Love at First Sight (Kylie Minogue song)|Love at First Sight]]" became hits as well. She continued reinventing her image and experimenting with a range of genres on her subsequent albums, which spawned successful singles such as "[[Slow (Kylie Minogue song)|Slow]]", "[[I Believe in You (Kylie Minogue song)|I Believe in You]]", "[[2 Hearts (Kylie Minogue song)|2 Hearts]]" and "[[All the Lovers]]". In 2017, she signed with [[BMG Rights Management]], leading to several number-one albums in Australia and the UK - ''[[Golden (Kylie Minogue album)|Golden]]'' (2018), ''[[Step Back in Time: The Definitive Collection]]'' (2019), ''[[Disco (Kylie Minogue album)|Disco]]'' (2020), ''[[Tension (Kylie Minogue album)|Tension]]'' (2023) and ''[[Tension II]]'' (2024). She is the only female artist in the UK charts with chart-topping albums and a top ten single in five consecutive decades. In film, Minogue made her debut in ''[[The Delinquents (1989 film)|The Delinquents]]'' (1989), and appeared in ''[[Street Fighter (1994 film)|Street Fighter]]'' (1994), ''[[Moulin Rouge!]]'' (2001), ''[[Holy Motors]]'' (2012) and ''[[San Andreas (film)|San Andreas]]'' (2015). In reality television, she appeared as a judge on ''[[The Voice UK (series 3)|The Voice UK]]'' and ''[[The Voice (Australian TV series)|The Voice Australia]]'', both in 2014.

Frequently referred to as the [[Honorific nicknames in popular music|"Princess of Pop"]], she has achieved recognition in both the music industry and fashion world as a major style icon. [[List of awards and nominations received by Kylie Minogue|Her accolades]] include two [[Grammy Awards]], four [[Brit Awards]] and eighteen [[ARIA Music Awards]]. Minogue is the highest-selling Australian female artist of all time, with sales surpassing 80 million records worldwide.<ref name="NFSA">{{cite web |author=Taylor, Beth |date=23 November 2020 |title=Kylie Minogue: 50 Fun Facts |url=https://www.nfsa.gov.au/latest/kylie-minogue-fun-facts |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201205223808/https://www.nfsa.gov.au/latest/kylie-minogue-fun-facts |archive-date=5 December 2020 |access-date=20 April 2024 |publisher=[[National Film and Sound Archive]]}}</ref> In 2024, ''[[Time 100|Time]]'' named her one of the most influential people in the world. Born and raised in [[Melbourne]], Minogue first achieved recognition starring as [[Charlene Robinson]] in the Australian soap opera ''[[Neighbours]]'' (1986–1988). She began her music career in the late 1980s, releasing four [[Bubblegum music|bubblegum]] and dance-pop-influenced studio albums under [[Pete Waterman Entertainment|PWL]]. By the early 1990s, Minogue had amassed several hit 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]]". Taking more creative control over her music, she signed with [[Deconstruction Records]] in 1993 and released the albums ''[[Kylie Minogue (album)|Kylie Minogue]]'' (1994) and ''[[Impossible Princess]]'' (1997). By joining [[Parlophone]] in 1999, Minogue returned to mainstream dance-oriented music with ''[[Light Years (Kylie Minogue album)|Light Years]]'' (2000), including the number-one hits "[[Spinning Around]]" and "[[On a Night Like This]]". The follow-up, ''[[Fever (Kylie Minogue album)|Fever]]'' (2001), was an international breakthrough for Minogue, becoming her best-selling album to date. The lead single, "[[Can't Get You Out of My Head]]", became one of the most successful singles of the 2000s, selling over five million units. Follow-up singles, "[[In Your Eyes (Kylie Minogue song)|In Your Eyes]]" and "[[Love at First Sight (Kylie Minogue song)|Love at First Sight]]" became hits as well. She continued reinventing her image and experimenting with a range of genres on her subsequent albums, which spawned successful singles such as "[[Slow (Kylie Minogue song)|Slow]]", "[[I Believe in You (Kylie Minogue song)|I Believe in You]]", "[[2 Hearts (Kylie Minogue song)|2 Hearts]]" and "[[All the Lovers]]". In 2017, she signed with [[BMG Rights Management]], leading to several number-one albums in Australia and the UK - ''[[Golden (Kylie Minogue album)|Golden]]'' (2018), ''[[Step Back in Time: The Definitive Collection]]'' (2019), ''[[Disco (Kylie Minogue album)|Disco]]'' (2020), ''[[Tension (Kylie Minogue album)|Tension]]'' (2023) and ''[[Tension II]]'' (2024). She is the only female artist in the UK charts with chart-topping albums and a top ten single in five consecutive decades. In film, Minogue made her debut in ''[[The Delinquents (1989 film)|The Delinquents]]'' (1989), and appeared in ''[[Street Fighter (1994 film)|Street Fighter]]'' (1994), ''[[Moulin Rouge!]]'' (2001), ''[[Holy Motors]]'' (2012) and ''[[San Andreas (film)|San Andreas]]'' (2015). In reality television, she appeared as a judge on ''[[The Voice UK (series 3)|The Voice UK]]'' and ''[[The Voice (Australian TV series)|The Voice Australia]]'', both in 2014.
