All hail the princess of pop.
Kylie Minogue is making music history.
She's the first ever woman to be honoured with a Music Industry Trusts' Award, thanks to her contribution to the music industry.
Kylie said: "It is an incredible honour to be the recipient of this year's award and I am truly thrilled to be recognised in this way."
The songstress will collect her award - previous recipients of which, include Sir Elton John and Beatles producer Sir George Martin - at a ceremony at Grosvenor House, London on 29th October 2007.
David Munns, chairman of the awards committee, said: "The award is being presented to Kylie in recognition of her universally-acclaimed status as an icon of pop and style achieved over a 20-year career which has seen her re-invent, experiment and inspire.
"We salute Kylie for her unique gifts as one of the great entertainers of all time."
Giving praise where praise is due, he went on: "Kylie has established one of the longest and most successful careers as a performer in contemporary popular music and her tenacity and determination to succeed, on and off the stage, have been an inspiration to so many."
The annual award has raised over £2.7m for the Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy charity.
