Artist Collection (Kylie Minogue album)
Artist Collection is a compilation album by Australian singer Kylie Minogue, released in 1988. It differs from other compilation albums in its focus: rather than spanning her entire career at the time, it presents a collection of songs specifically chosen by Kylie herself to represent her artistic vision up to that point. This selection notably excluded some of her more commercially successful hits, reflecting a deliberate curatorial approach rather than a "greatest hits" methodology. The album's track list thus emphasizes stylistic consistency and personal preference, showcasing Minogue's developing musical identity. While not a major commercial success compared to some of her other releases, it remains significant as a snapshot of Minogue's artistic self-perception during a crucial period in her career transition. The album's release coincided with a shift in her musical direction, paving the way for more mature and artistically ambitious works to follow. Information regarding specific sales figures and chart positions is currently limited, requiring further research.
