‘Can’t Get You Out of My Head’ is the best pop song of the 21st century
Kylie Minogue's Can't Get You Out of My Head is 20 years old and fans are celebrating 'one of the greatest pop songs ever written'. "Can't Get You Out of My Head" is a song that was recorded by Australian singer Kylie Minogue for her eighth studio album Fever. Released by Parlophone Records on 8 September 2001, the song is a dance-pop, techno-pop and neo-disco song that is known for its "la la la" hook. "Can't Get You Out of My Head", which was written and produced by Cathy Dennis and Rob Davis (of Seventies Glamrockers Mud), is about obsession with a love interest. Music critics
label this Kylie’s thrilling chart banger as the best pop song of the 21st century!
With over 6 million copies sold, it is by some distance Kylie’s most commercially successful LP. And, by consensus, her artistic zenith. The song reached number one on charts in 40 countries worldwide. “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart for four weeks and was certified two-times platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). The song also topped the Australian Singles Chart and received a three-times Platinum certification from the Australian Recording Industry Association. Even in the United States, the song peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and became Minogue's first US top-ten single in 13 years.
“Can’t Get You Out of My Head”, turns 20 on 1 October. Two decades on Fever remains an enthralling listen. More than that it’s one of those rare LPs that takes you to a universe of its own making. Just like Minogue at the start of the song's video, it’s a project that rushes towards a sparkling horizon - and that sense of possibility is as exciting today as it was 20 years ago!
To celebrate the anniversary of the singer's classic album, a special 20th anniversary limited-edition will be released on white vinyl, including a unique print; the new edition will also be available on a frosted recycled clear cassette.
