Ultimate Kylie is the title of Australian-born singer Kylie Minogue Greatest Hits album released in November, 2004. Spanning two CDs, the album contains work from all nine of her studio albums plus two new tracks, "I Believe In You" (written with the Scissor Sisters) and "Giving You Up" (written with Xenomania).
Although not her first compilation, or "Greatest Hits" album, it is notable as the only album to include her Stock Aitken Waterman, Deconstruction and Parlophone Records recordings in one package.
Advertisements for the album claimed it contained every single Minogue had released in the UK. These were misleading, as several of her charting singles were not included.
The hit singles that are missing are: Word Is Out, If You Were With Me Now, Finer Feelings, What Kind Of Fool?, Where Is The Feeling? and Some Kind Of Bliss.
A DVD was simultaneously released under the same name, containing all the music videos of the CDs, with the exception of "Giving You Up". It also contains Minogue's performance at the 2002 BRIT Awards of "Can't Get Blue Monday Out Of My Head": a mix of "Can't Get You Out Of My Head" and New Order's Blue Monday.
