Kylie has released shitloads of b-sides, bonus tracks and other leftovers over the 25 years she's been in the industry, as all of her dear fans are very aware of. And what better ways are there in this world to start off the new year with a wonderful list of Kylie's non-album tracks?
While digging through this seemingly endless list, you'll find numerous gems, some stinkers, and maybe even a career highlight. Prepare yourself.

Closer
*Pete Waterman Entertainment; responsible for all of Kylie's productions from Kylie up until her first GH; she recorded way fewer tracks per album back then hence the amount of non-album tracks was much smaller, later albums received a way different treatment
OTHER X 3-disc CDR set In May 2007, a fan claimed to have a 3-disc CDR set full of new recordings by Kylie. The disc contained many newly recorded songs during her post-treatment sessions. Besides seven songs that were recorded by session singers, the other 42 are indeed real Kylie songs. Many of these still haven't leaked to this day.

City Games
Before the official announcement of the Body Language album, a tracklist to a certain City Games album was leaked to the Internet. Besides containing full writing credits to all songs (including some by Pharrell and her sister Dannii), also a track-by-track review saw the light of day. If there's any truth to this tracklist and the included songs, we'll never know.

The Original Impossible Princess
Kylie recorded an entire album with Brothers In Rhythm, due for release in the beginning of 1997. However, it was decided that she should record with more producers and the album was pushed back. Some of these tracks have never seen the light of day.

13. Miles (unreleased)
The 1993 Rapino Brothers Album
After her departure from SAW and in preparation of her new album with DeConstruction, Kylie recorded several tracks with the Rapino Brothers. Ultimately these weren't good enough and Kylie went into the studio with other producers.
- Automatic Love (demo and later re-recorded with Brothers In Rhythm, short snippet leaked to the Internet)
- Love Is On The Line (later re-recorded with Brothers In Rhythm yet failed to make any album, later given to Polish singer Edyta Gorniak)
- Our Lovin' / The Light That I Was Looking For
- For All I'm Worth
- Aston Martin
- Difficult By Design (ended up on Hits+)
- Gotta Move On (ended up on Hits+)
- Livin' For Your Lovin'
Around the same time, Kylie also recorded two tracks with St. Etienne:
- Nothing Can Stop Us (the only track of these sessions that was released commercially; b-side to 'Confide In Me')
- When Are You Coming Home? (Kylie found it too pure-pop to be included on any album)
