Kylie is a Dance-pop act. Their sound grew out of Kool & The Gang, Never Gonna Give You Up, Dead or Alive and Ronika. Those roots explain a lot about how Kylie arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Dannii Minogue, Madonna, Melanie C, Jennifer Lopez and Rachel Stevens, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Perfect Illusion, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 21 connections around Kylie, reaching back through Kool & The Gang and forward to Perfect Illusion.
