KYLIE MINOGUE (with HuffPost's Noah Michelson)
DJ Louie is joined by HuffPost\u2019s Noah Michelson to discuss Australian Queen of Pop, Kylie Minogue. Louie and Noah trace the singularity of Kylie\u2019s two-tract pop career: In most of the world, she\u2019s an A+ list arena-trotting superstar with more than three decades of hits and yet here in America, she\u2019s perceived as either a one-hit-wonder or a niche gay icon. They discuss why that is, break down Kylie\u2019s entire career from late \u201880s teenybopper to mid 90s avant boundary-pusher to her later period resurgence with the smash global hit \u201cCan\u2019t Get You Out Of My Head\u201d and her recent solid run of well-made albums that relish in well-worn Kylie tropes. Louie and Noah then break down Kylie\u2019s influence on the pop stars who came after her like Lady GaGa and Britney Spears, what makes her so beloved amongst the gay community, and the differing requirements for pop stars in America vs. the rest of the world. Finally, they take on the extraordinarily challenging task of ranking Kylie in the Pop Pantheon.\nCheck out Louie's Playlist of Kylie Essentials on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5wIrtrsbNMesqLHXcj3IdW?si=9a1f1897a76a4d1e\nFollow DJ Louie XIV on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/djlouiexiv/\nFollow DJ Louie XIV on Twitter: https://twitter.com/djlouiexiv\nFollow Pop Pantheon on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/poppantheonpod/\nFollow Pop Pantheon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/PopPantheonPod\nFollow Noah Michelson on Twitter: https://twitter.com/noahmichelson
