        yes, she's essentially a one hit wonder here. -- nm - Tim Feb 20, 17:29 12
        
        Y'all best not be talking bad about Kylie!! -- nm - MDH Feb 20, 17:42 7

        Technically a two-hit wonder in the US (but the hits were 13 years apart) -- nm - ty97 Feb 20, 17:31
        
        It likely has some to do with the fact that the TV show that launched her into prominence never aired here. -- nm - ty97 Feb 20, 17:28 2
