X is Kylie's tenth studio album. After Kylie's cancer diagnosis in 2005, X was her first studio album since 2003's Body Language. X explores many type of sounds from dance/pop to ballads and even R&B. The album was also nominated for Best International Album at the 2008 Brit Awards. The Kylie Show, a combination of performances of Kylie's songs and some comedy skits was aired to promote the album. Up to 50 songs were written or recorded for the X project, many still remain unheard by the public, some of these demos were leaked on to the internet in 2007. The album was released in late November 2007. In the US it was released April 1st, 2008.

The album debuted on the charts soon after its release and got a mixed reaction. While the album earned healthy sales in countries like the UK, Australia (where it debuted at #1), Switzerland, and a few other countries, the album faired not as well in many other countries where it quickly declined on the charts. Despite that the album is scraping its way to a million copies sold, and is being certified Gold and Platinum in quite a few countries. The album experienced a slight comeback in some countries after the release of the second single. When the album was finally released in the US it debuted at a disappointing #139 with less than 6,000 copies sold that week. It fell of the chart the following week.
