Kylie Minogue is still only five feet tall but, in many ways, she\u2019s never been bigger.<\/p>\n

In the six years since BMG have been releasing her music, she\u2019s had three No.1 studio albums: Golden<\/i> (2018, 400,000+ global units), Disco<\/i> (2020, 750,000+) and Tension<\/i> (2023, 500,000 and still rising).<\/p>\n

Last year, Padam Padam<\/i> became her first Top 10 UK single in a dozen years. She won a Grammy, the BRIT Awards Global Icon gong and became a hit on TikTok, while America \u2013 where her last pre-BMG album reached the giddy heights of No.184 \u2013 is now her biggest streaming market.<\/p>\n

Alistair Norbury<\/strong> \u2013 BMG UK President, Repertoire & Marketing, and a man whose penchant for flamboyant shirts masks his considered, under-the-radar approach to running a huge music company \u2013 would never take credit for such successes, of course.<\/span><\/p>\n
