'''''X''''' is the tenth studio album by Australian singer [[Kylie Minogue]]. [[EMI Music Japan]] released it first in Japan on 21 November 2007, before its release in Australia by [[Warner Music Australia]] two days later. The album was released in the United Kingdom by [[Parlophone]] on 26 November 2007, and in the United States by [[Capitol Records|Capitol]] and [[Astralwerks]] on 1 April 2008. Work on the album began in July 2006, following Minogue's gradual recovery from [[breast cancer]]. After finishing [[Showgirl: The Homecoming Tour]] in lateearly 20062007, she returned to the studio to complete the album, with the help from many producers including [[Bloodshy & Avant]], [[Calvin Harris]], [[Greg Kurstin]], and [[Freemasons (DJs)|Freemasons]].
 
''X'' is a [[dance-pop]] and [[electronica]] album that explore themes of sex and celebration. [[Music journalism|Music critics]] praised the production but were ambivalent towards its consistency and lyrical content. Minogue garnered several nominations for ''X'', including [[Brit Award for International Album|Brit Award for Best International Album]] and [[Grammy Award for Best Dance/Electronic Album]]. Commercially, ''X'' debuted at number one on the [[Australian Albums Chart]] and peaked at number four on the [[UK Albums Chart]]. The album reached the top 20 in other countries, including Austria, Germany, Ireland, France, Scotland, and Switzerland.
 
Five [[Single (music)|singles]] were released from ''X''. The [[lead single]], "[[2Two Hearts (KylieKish MinogueMauve song)#Kylie Minogue version|2 Hearts]]", peaked inside the top 10 in several countries, including Australia, Spain, and the United Kingdom. "[[Wow (Kylie Minogue song)|Wow]]" was released in Australia and the UK, while "[[In My Arms (Kylie Minogue song)|In My Arms]]" was issued in Europe. "[[All I See]]" and "[[The One (Kylie Minogue song)|The One]]" were released as digital singles: the former to promote the album in the United States and the latter in Europe. Minogue promoted ''X'' by performing in the US during March and May 2008, and with the [[KylieX2008]] concert tour, which saw her perform around Europe, Oceania, South America, and Asia. The album has sold over one million copies worldwide.
