"Turn It Into Love" by Kylie Minogue

Australian soap opera star, Kylie Minogue, is better known stateside for her appearances on the music charts. She seemed destined to be a one-hit wonder of the 80s when her cover of "The Loco-Motion" soared to #3 in 1988. Her follow-up single, "It's No Secret," only reached #37 and nothing charted from her next record, 1989's "Enjoy Yourself."

But Minogue mounted an unlikely comeback in 2002 when "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" reached #7, having everyone asking, "Is that the same Kylie Minogue from the 80s?" The answer is yes.

The comeback didn't last long. Her immediate follow-up single, "Love At First Sight," did well landing at #23, but she hasn't seen the charts again since 2004 when "Slow" struggled to reach #91.

The fan of 80s music that I am, I can't help but highlight another cut off her 1988 debut album, "Kylie." "Turn It Into Love" is pure bubble gum fluff, but dammit I like it.
