Ever noticed something in the background of your photos. Send it in. KYLIE Minogue’s first full-scale North American tour is a box-office hit. Tickets for the show, which plays legendary venues such as the Hollywood Bowl and the Hammerstein Ballroom in October, are not on sale until Saturday, although sales spiked when fans were offered an opportunity to buy “pre-sale” tickets on the internet. The tour’s original schedule was clearly conservative, based on the poor US sales of her last album and her lack of profile in the market. So far, she is confirmed to play Chicago, LA, Toronto, Las Vegas, New York and, not surprisingly, San Francisco. Although her album Fever hit No. 3 on the charts in 2002, her last album X debuted at an embarrassingly 139 in April last year. The failure was blamed on a lacklustre marketing campaign from her US label and the fact that most of her American fans had already purchased the album on import months earlier, when it was available in Australia and Europe.
However, Minogue was on a charm offensive in New York last week, appearing at the Empire State Building for a leukaemia charity event, as well as interviews with print outlets and NBC’s Today show.
