This was Minogue's first hit in the US since 1988, when her cover of "The Locomotion" hit #3. She has been very successful in England and her home country of Australia.

This is known as "The La La Song," because the chorus is her singing "La La La, La La La La La" over and over.

Minogue is an actress and sex-symbol. She dated INXS singer Michael Hutchence, has appeared in Australian Soap Operas, and had a part in the movie Moulin Rouge shortly before this was released.

In England, this sold over a million copies and was in the Top 40 for 5 months.

This was written by Cathy Dennis and former Mud guitarist Rob Davis. Dennis had a few hits as a solo artist in the early '90s, including "Just Another Dream" and "Too Many Walls."

This was originally offered to Sophie Ellis-Bextor, but she turned it down. (thanks, Adam - Dewsbury, England)

At the 2002 Brit Awards, Kylie performed a version of this to the beat of "Blue Monday" by New Order. This remix was released as the B-side of her 2002 hit "Love At First Sight."

This song's first week on the UK charts was Kylie's personal 262nd week on charts, making her the most successful chart act not from the US or UK. This is her biggest seller in the UK, selling 1,037,235 copies. It was the biggest single and the most played song of 2001 there (it was aired 45,577 times on UK radio).

The song was accompanied by a state-of-the-art video. The video director Dawn Shadforth had Kylie dressed in clothes and driving a car in a future from the '60s perspective utopia style. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England, for above 2)
