Australian singer Kylie Minogue made what she called a "crazy" slice of pop music history on Friday (Nov 13), becoming the first female artist to have No. 1 albums in Britain across five decades as Disco topped the charts.

Mostly recorded at home during lockdown, her 15th studio album also notched up the best opening week for any UK release so far in 2020 with 55,000 chart sales, the Official Charts Company said.
