Kylie Minogue’s self-titled debut album produced hits, controversy and a perfect mainstream storm. The then soap and children’s television star ‘crossed over’ to music with hit writer/producers SAW — and the shamelessly commercial approach of all involved saw the ‘real’ music industry get its back up. This book interrogates the way that commercial pop albums are remembered in both the popular music press and in academic research. The authors ask: is there a way of dealing with ‘mainstream’ pop without denigrating the music and (just as importantly) without validating it according to the terms of a ‘high art’ canon? It sheds light on the way that notions of ‘mainstream’ and ‘other’ play out in a local context—specifically, Australia and New Zealand music on a global stage.
