Kylie Minogue, one of the top selling female artists in the world, releases "Ultimate Kylie", the only comprehensive collection of her greatest hits from 1987 to the present day, on Parlophone on November 15.

The two CD set, the only one to feature each of her 31 hit singles, also includes two brand new tracks, one of which, "I Believe In You", Kylie wrote and recorded with Jake Shears and Babydaddy from the Scissor Sisters. This stunning collaboration will be released as Kylie's new single on November 29.

Since "The Loco Motion" became her first Australian No 1 in 1987, Kylie has been a record breaker. When "I Should Be So Lucky", her first UK single, became No 1 in March 1988, it entered the record books as the first single in over 10 years to stay at No 1 for five weeks. She has been breaking records ever since.

The statistics speak for themselves, and could fill pages: in essence, she has broken records in every decade of her career - most recently, 2001's classic No 1 "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" marked Kylie's 5th top 10 single since the beginning of 2000, making her the most successful female singles artist of the millennium. "Ultimate Kylie" features;

31 INTERNATIONAL TOP 40 HITS 7 UK NO 1 SINGLES 25 UK TOP 10 SINGLES

Her total single sales worldwide are estimated at a staggering 20 million copies, whilst album sales easily take her record sales worldwide to over 40 million.

Suffice to say that in 1991, industry bible "Music Week" declared that, in the history of the British charts, Kylie was the only act to have their first 13 releases go Top 10, a feat that The Beatles, Elvis, Madonna and Michael Jackson had not achieved.

A fuller list of some of Kylie's achievements is overleaf, including chart positions for each of the singles and UK release dates.
