Untitled

Fever is the eighth album by Australian singer Kylie Minogue, released in late 2001 in Europe and Australia, 2002 in North America by Parlophone, Mushroom and Capitol.

Album information

The lead single, "Can't Get You out of My Head", was a number one hit in multiple countries. The album reached number one on the Australian and all European charts and sold a million copies in the United Kingdom alone. To-date the album has sold nine million copies worldwide.[1] It was followed by the Kylie Fever Tour. It became Minogue's highest-selling album in Australia and was her most successful album in the United States and Canada.

There are three different versions of the album cover. The original version had Minogue wearing white and holding a microphone. This version was distributed to Australia, Asia, Europe, Latin America and Canada. When the album was later released in the U.S. and re-issued (in some countries) in Asia, the cover was changed to the headshot with the necklace. This cover is also available in Canada. The cover for the bonus disc edition is similar to the original, but with Minogue wearing a blue PVC costume instead.

The album reached number one in over twenty countries. It reached number one in both the UK and Australia, spending 75 weeks on the Australian albums chart where it had achieved platinum status 7 times.

  • Note #1: Due to an error at the record company, most editions of this disc include a version of "Whenever You Feel Like It" featuring noticeably uneven sound levels, with the chorus playing much more muffled, low volume than the rest of the song. It is reported that some Asian editions are unaffected.
  • Note #2: Due to an error in the disc pressing, the Brazilian editions of the double disc album, came with the discs inverted. The disc that has the words "bonus disc" on it, is actually the regular album, and the other disc has the remixes.

Singles

"Can't Get You out of My Head" was released in September 2001 in Europe and Australia.

In 2002, the song was released in the U.S. and became her second ever top-ten hit, reaching number seven on the Billboard Hot 100.
