Background
In 2012, Minogue celebrated her 25th year in the music industry, and as a result, announced that she would be releasing special material to fans on the 25th of each month, and at the beginning of each month, would have a "#TweetToUnlock" where fans would have to tweet or post a specific hashtag a certain number of times in order to unlock the material of that month. These included videos from Minogue's Anti Tour (also launched as a K25 treat), her performance at the 2012 Mardi Gras, an Abbey Road performance of "Slow" and "Come into My World", and a video chronology of "The Loco-Motion" in July, to mark the 25th birthday of the song.
49 of Minogue's singles were chosen to appear in the set. These included "Locomotion", "Hand on Your Heart", "Better the Devil You Know", "Give Me Just a Little More Time", "Confide in Me", "Spinning Around", "Can't Get You Out of My Head", "Slow", "2 Hearts", "All the Lovers" and the then-recently released "Timebomb".
Release and reception
The box set was announced in August 2012, and released in October that same year. Tim Sendra from AllMusic said that the box set was "a great and unique way for fans to collect all of Kylie's hits" and that it "will look super cute on the shelf", giving it four stars out of five.[2]
