Dannii Minogue
Danielle Jane Minogue (; born 20 October 1971) is an Australian singer, television personality, and actress. She first appeared on the television talent show Young Talent Time (1982–1988) before gaining recognition for her role as Emma Jackson on the soap opera Home and Away (1989–1990). Minogue began her music career in the early 1990s, achieving early success with her debut album, Love and Kisses (1991), and the singles "Love and Kisses", "Jump to the Beat" and "Success". Following the release of her second album, Get into You (1993), her popularity as a singer declined, leading her to make a name for herself with award-winning performances in theatre productions.
The late 1990s saw a brief return to music for Minogue, after the singer reinvented herself as a dance artist with her third album, Girl (1997), and the lead single "All I Wanna Do", which became her first number-one UK dance hit. Her fourth album, Neon Nights (2003), became the most successful of her career and spawned the hit singles "Who Do You Love Now?", "Put the Needle on It", "I Begin to Wonder", and "Don't Wanna Lose This Feeling". In 2007, she released her fifth album, Club Disco.
In the UK, Minogue has achieved nine Top 10 singles and 13 consecutive number-one dance singles, becoming the best-performing artist on the UK Dance Chart. In her home country of Australia, she has achieved 12 Top 30 singles and 6 gold-certified singles. As of January 2017, Minogue has sold over 7 million records worldwide. She is also recognised as the younger sister of fellow singer Kylie Minogue, with whom she has occasionally collaborated throughout her career.
Minogue has served as a judge on television talent shows, including The X Factor UK (2007–2010), Australia's Got Talent (2007–2012), Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model (2013), The X Factor Australia (2013–2015), Let It Shine (2017), and The Masked Singer Australia (2019–2021). As a television presenter, she has hosted It's Not Just Saturday (1996), Dance Boss (2018), Ultimate Beastmaster (2018), I Kissed a Boy (2023–2025), and I Kissed a Girl (2024–present).
