Dannii Minogue

Danielle Jane Minogue (; born 20 October 1971) is an Australian singer, television personality, and actress. As a child she appeared on the television talent show Young Talent Time (1982–1988), before gaining recognition for her role as Emma Jackson on the Australian soap opera Home and Away (1989–1990). Minogue began her music career in the early 1990s, achieving early success with her debut album, Love and Kisses (1991), and the singles "Love and Kisses", "Jump to the Beat" and "Success". Following the release of her second album, Get into You (1993), Minogue's popularity as a singer declined, leading her to make a name for herself with award-winning performances in theatre productions. The late 1990s saw a brief return to music for Minogue, after the singer reinvented herself as a dance artist with her third album, Girl (1997). Her fourth album, Neon Nights (2003), became the most successful of her career: it was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry and spawned the hit singles "Who Do You Love Now?", "Put the Needle on It", "I Begin to Wonder" and "Don't Wanna Lose This Feeling". In 2007, she released her fifth album, Club Disco. In the UK, Minogue has achieved nine Top 10 singles and 13 consecutive number-one dance singles, becoming the best-performing artist on the UK Dance Chart. In her home country of Australia, she has achieved 12 Top 30 singles and 6 gold-certified singles. As of January 2017, Minogue has sold over 7 million records worldwide. Minogue has served as a judge on television talent shows, including The X Factor UK (2007–2010), Australia's Got Talent (2007–2012), Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model (2013), The X Factor Australia (2013–2015), Let It Shine (2017), and The Masked Singer Australia (2019–2021). As a television presenter, she has hosted It's Not Just Saturday (1996), Dance Boss (2018), Ultimate Beastmaster (2018), I Kissed a Boy (2023–present), and I Kissed a Girl (2024).
