According to Warner Music Australia, Kylie has sold over 40 million albums worldwide. Signed to a contract by the legendary British producers Stock, Aitken & Waterman in 1988 she achieved a string of hit records throughout the world. Her popularity began to decline during the early 1990s, leading her to part company from Stock, Aitken & Waterman in 1992.

Her projects were widely publicised, but her albums failed to attract a substantial audience and resulted in the lowest sales of her career to date. She returned to popularity as a dance-pop artist in 2000, and became well known for her provocative music videos and expensively stage shows. She is has one of the longest and most successful careers as a performer in contemporary pop music, especially in Europe and Australia, despite being dismissed early in her career (they christened her The Singing Budgie) by some critics, she has been acclaimed for her achievements.
