Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Spinning Around. By Songfacts®.

This was co-written by Paula Abdul, who was going to record it for her comeback. She decided to give the whole thing a miss and revived her career by becoming a judge on the TV show American Idol. Kylie got the song and became the comeback queen.

This reached #1 in the UK in 2000, making it Minogue's 5th UK #1, and her first #1 single for 10 years, the previous being "Tears On My Pillow" in 1990.

This was the song-writing breakthrough for another American Idol judge: Kara DioGuardi. She recalled to Billboard magazine in January 2010: "I went through years of rejection, and my first thing was Kylie. I didn't know who Kylie was, and I was heartbroken that Paula Abdul wasn't going to do it. I was thinking, 'Kylie Minogue? Who's Kylie Minogue? I've got to make some money or I'm going to have to go back to my real job.' And then I saw her ass in the video - she had these hot pants on and I was like, 'OK, I like Kylie Minogue. I'm going to make some money here.'"
