Minogue was born in 1968, and is an Australian singer and actress. Her initial taste of fame came from the Australian soap opera, [[wikipedia:Neighbours|''Neighbours'']] —a hit throughout large swaths of the English-speaking world. Minogue parlayed this fame into an even more successful musical career, although she still continued to make occasional acting appearances. Minogue has achieved seven UK no.1 singles and thirty-four UK top 10 singles. After her eleventh studio album 'Aphrodite' went no.1 in July 2010, she became the first artist to have no.1 albums in four consecutive decades. She has had five UK no.1 albums. In 2005, Minogue was diagnosed with the early stages of breast cancer. After a year in remission, Minogue joined her sister Dannii Minogue on stage at G-A-Y and soon resumed her Showgirl tour. | Minogue was born in 1968, and is an Australian singer and actress.
