It’s been a pretty great year for Kylie Minogue, all things considered. The pop goddess has celebrated her 50th birthday, had another number one album with ‘Golden’, and this week saw her kick off her new tour in support of that album which is already getting rave reviews.
A couple of weeks ago – largely following her Reel Stories show with Dermot O’Leary that we reviewed on this here blog – we went on a full on binge of her old albums, videos and other things from her career to date. We do this about once a year with our favourite artists, and it means we don’t have to think too deeply about what we play on our Spotify.
But the purpose of the exercise was also for us to draw up this: our list of her actual 40 best singles according to us. Of course, everyone has their favourite, but this is ours. So without any ado…let’s reveal the chosen ones.
1. Confide In Me
2. Can’t Get You Out of My Head
3. I Believe In You
4. Step Back In Time
5. Love At First Sight
6. Put Yourself In My Place
7. Slow
8. Did It Again
9. Shocked
10. All The Lovers
11. Better The Devil You Know
12. In Your Eyes
13. Breathe
14. What Do I Have To Do?
15. Better Than Today
16. Some Kind Of Bliss

22. Hand On Your Heart
23. Into The Blue

And also, for balance of probability, we also drew up our list of Kylie’s 10 actual singles we really do not care for…

We love you Kylie.
