10th anniversary for Kylie classic
It’s ten years today since Kylie Minogue’s Can’t Get You Out of My Head was released, eventually marking her first US top-ten single in 13 years and arguably becoming her signature song.
Recorded for her eighth studio album Fever (2001), it was written and produced by Cathy Dennis and Rob Davis and was released as the album’s lead single in the third quarter of 2001.
It went on to sell over four million copies worldwide, with many critics calling it the best single of her career.
It also made UK radio history by gather 3,000 radio plays in a single week and the accompanying video clip even won an MTV Video Music Award for best music video choreography.
In December 2009, the staff of Rolling Stone listed the song in their 100 Best Songs of the Decade list at number 45.
“The pint-size Aussie disco dolly seduced the U.S. with this mirror-ball classic, chanting that obsessive melody in a sea of “la-la-la” vocals. We’ve been hearing it at the gym ever since,” they wrote.
Do you think the track was Kylie’s best? Add your thoughts below.
Altho a perfect pop gem and a classic, Confide in me and What do I have to do are the best Kylie songs, for me at least!
10 years later and we still hear it on the radio here in the US. This is a pop classic of astronomical proportions! Still sounds as fresh and cool as it did a decade ago. Many artists have hit songs and great careers, but few have a song like this one.
What Do I Have To Do was my favourite until this one came along!
10 years ago? No way!!!!
A true pop classic from a true pop princess
Still can’t get it outta my head a decade on ….
La la la!!!
