Kylie is the debut album by Australian pop singer Kylie Minogue. It was released by PWL on July 4, 1988, and received mixed reviews. Chris True of Allmusic describes the album's songs as "dated at best", but writes that Minogue's "cuteness makes these rather vapid tracks bearable". Kylie was a number one album in the United Kingdom, and it produced three number one singles in Australia. In North America the album peaked low on the Billboard charts, yet still impressively managed to sell over 500,000 copies and was certified gold. Later on the album continued selling strong and reached Platinum status.
In Australia, the album was re-issued as The Kylie Collection and featured bonus remixes. In January 1989, Kylie was certified six times platinum in the UK, and has sold over 5 million copies worldwide.
In 1987, during a Fitzroy Football Club benefit concert the other cast member of Neighbours put on their own talent stage show. Minogue had not prepared anything so she got up on stage and performed a cover version of "The Loco-Motion" and was signed to a recording contract with Mushroom Records The song was released as a single in Australia, and became the highest selling single of the 1980s. Its success resulted in Minogue travelling to London with Mushroom Records executive Gary Ashley to work with Stock, Aitken and Waterman. They knew little of Minogue and had forgotten that she was arriving; as a result, they wrote "I Should Be So Lucky" while she waited outside the studio. Minogue recorded the song in less than an hour, and returned home to Australia to work on Neighbours. The song became a chart success, and Mike Stock travelled to Melbourne to apologize to Minogue for forgetting about her previous recording session. Stock successfully convinced Minogue to return to London in the beginning of 1988 to record songs for her debut album.
Kylie debuted on the UK albums chart at number two on 10 July 1988, and reached number one for four weeks on 21 August 1988 and a further two weeks on 13 November 1988, and was certified six times platinum on 5 January 1989. It sold 1.8 million copies in 1988 and became the year's best selling album. In Australia, the album reached number two, and was certified double platinum on release.
The album reached the top ten in Germany, Norway, and Switzerland, and sold 143,627 in Sweden. Kylie reached number fifty-three on the Billboard 200 albums chart in the United States. In 1989, the album was certified gold in the U.S. and platinum in Canada.
