Kylie, 39, has only had two top ten hits in the US, The Locomotion in 1988 and Can’t Get You Out Of My Head in 2002.

Earlier this month, she appeared on The Today Show, Dancing With The Stars, The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The Late Late Show to promote the US release of her album X. But the record failed, debuting outside the top 100, coming in at #139 on the Billboard 200 with sales of just 6,000 copies.
