Much like the rest of the world, Australia fell in love with Kim Wilde during the ‘80s.

She achieved an incredible six ARIA Top 10 singles, with her 1986 cover of The Supremes’ ‘You Keep Me Hanging On’ and 2003 collaboration with Nena, ‘Anyplace, Anywhere, Anytime’, both topping the ARIA Single Charts.

Although best known for her work in the ‘80s, Wilde continues to write and record new music, with her upcoming tour coming in support of her fifteenth studio album, Closer, which received positive reviews from critics.
