''The Best of Kylie Minogue'' is the third major greatest hits album by Australian recording artist Kylie Minogue. It was released on 28 May 2012 by EMI to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of Minogue's recording career, as part of her K25 celebrations. This is Minogue's fourth major compilation album, following the previous major compilation albums ''Greatest Hits'' (1992), ''Hits+'' (2002) and ''Ultimate Kylie'' (2004). It is also Minogue's only major compilation not to include any new material or to include unreleased and rare material. The album consists of Minogue's major hits, spanning from her 1987 debut to her 2010 album project ''Aphrodite''. Upon its release, the compilation was well received by most music critics, many praising the later releases of Minogue's catalog, while it was criticized for not including most of her hit songs from the past. It peaked at number eleven in the United Kingdom, while charting inside the top forty in the Czech Republic, Ireland, Scotland and Spain. ==Background== ''The Best of Kylie Minogue'' is the first major greatest hits album by Minogue since her 2004 ''Ultimate Kylie'' album.
