Minogue signed a recording contract with Mushroom Records in early 1987, and released her self-titled debut album the following year. Written and produced by Stock Aitken Waterman, the album was distributed in the UK by Waterman's label, PWL Records. The album spent six weeks at number one in the UK, eventually becoming the fifth highest-selling album of the decade. It has sold over five million copies worldwide. Her second album, Enjoy Yourself (1989) debuted at number one in the UK and became the sixth best-selling album of the year. She subsequently released Rhythm of Love (1990) and Let's Get to It (1991), both of which reached the top twenty in Australia and the UK. Her final release under PWL Records, Greatest Hits (1992), was her third number-one album in the UK.
During her years under Deconstruction Records, Minogue released her self-titled album in 1994 and Impossible Princess in 1997. Both albums peaked inside the top ten in Australia and the UK.
After moving to Parlophone in 1999, Minogue earned her first number-one album in her home country with Light Years (2000). She scored the best-selling album of her career with Fever (2001), which sold over six million copies worldwide as of May 2008. It was the thirtieth best-selling album globally in 2002, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry.

Released during her short-lived management contract with entertainment company Roc Nation, Kiss Me Once (2014) became her fourth number-one album in Australia. She collaborated with record producers Fernando Garibay and Giorgio Moroder for two EPs, Sleepwalker (2014) and Kylie and Garibay (2015), before releasing her final record under Parlophone—the Christmas album Kylie Christmas (2015), with a re-release Kylie Christmas: Snow Queen Edition the following year.
