Ultimate Kylie - Definition and Overview

Ultimate Kylie is the title of Australian-born singer Kylie Minogue Greatest Hits album released in November, 2004. Spanning two CDs, the album containes work from all seven of her studio albums plus two new tracks, "I Believe In You" (written with the Scissor Sisters) and "Giving You Up" (written with Xenomania).

Although not her first compilation, or "Greatest Hits" album, it is notable as the only album to include her Stock Aitken Waterman, Deconstruction and Parlophone Records recordings in one package.

Advertisements for the album claimed it contained every single Minogue had released in the UK. These were misleading, as several of her charting singles were not included.
