This is Billboard Explains: Kylie Minogue Dancing Up the Charts.
The Australian hitmaker got her first Hot 100 top 10 chart debut back in 1988 with her massive hit the “The Loco-Motion,” which peaked at No. 3. Fourteen years later, she made it to the top 10 again with her sensational hit “Can’t Get You Out of My Head,” a song that we definitely couldn’t get out of our heads in 2002.
Her sweet spot is the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, where she had 18 songs, including her big hit “Padam Padam,” which peaked at No. 7 in June 2023. The song even won her a Grammy in the newly formed Best Pop Dance Recording category.
Kylie is also no stranger to the Billboard 200. She’s had 11 albums chart, including Fever, which hit the top 10, peaking at No. 3 in 2002.
With her long span on the Billboard charts, it’s no wonder Kylie is the 2024 Billboard Women in Music Icon honoree.
