On September 8, 2001, Kylie Minogue released Can't Get You Out of My Head, the lead single off her eighth studio album Fever, released a month later. The song was written and produced by Cathy Dennis and Rob Davis. The song went #1 in 40 countries, but it peaked at #7 in the US Billboard Hot 100, and it's sold over 5 million copies around the world as of 2018.

The track had been originally offered to S Club 7 and Sophie Ellis-Bextor, who passed on it, until Kylie's A&R heard it and booked it for her. 

An iconic music video was directed by  Dawn Shadforth and choreographed by Michael Rooney, winning Best Choreography at the VMA's in 2002.

No matter if you’re gay, straight, bi, non-binary, trans, a Jamie Lynn Spears stan, you will always bounce your bussy to the beat of that song. 

Spoiler

Jamie Lynn Spears stans can get the **** out of here.

Iconic, timeless, unmistakingly recognizable. Not my favorite song of hers, but still a staple in pop music.

Love the song and the video, but winning the VMA for best choreography over Slave was total bull****.

Probably 'In Your Eyes', but I also love 'Come Into my World', 'Red-Blooded Woman', 'Chocolate', 'I Believe in You', '2 Hearts', 'All The Lovers', etc.
