1 KYLIE TENSION (DARENOTE/BMG)
After loosely themed albums of country and disco, Kylie returned to mucking about and simply doing what felt right. As cheery as it was to have Padam Padam become a genuine chart-gobbling phenomenon, it was just one classic on a record that was stuffed with big moments. Comfortably in the top three best Kylie albums, while returning to pop that sounds an effortless breeze.
