"100 Degrees" is a song performed by Australian singer-songwriter Kylie Minogue, featuring her sister Dannii Minogue. The track is taken from Kylie's thirteenth studio album, Kylie Christmas. On 16 November, Kylie announced it as a single on the The X Factor Australia^[2] where she also confirmed that she would perform the track alongside Dannii on the season's grand final on 24 November. In a statement, Kylie said, "I'll be bringing a little Christmas cheer to The X Factor stage, I can't wait to come home and perform on the show with Dannii."^[3]

This will be the duos first performance together since their live performance of "Kids" on her Showgirl: The Homecoming Tour in 2006 and first televised performance together since they performed "Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves" on Young Talent Time in 1986.^[4]

Kylie wrote "100 Degrees" about adapting to a winter Christmas in the UK after being raised in Australia and was inspired by Donna Summer's vintage disco classics.^[5]

Dannii said; "There's not enough party Christmas songs, everyone has Christmas parties, but what music do you put on? This song is perfect for dancing to. And our X Factor performance is going to be all guns blazing. And by guns, I mean glitter guns. It's going to be a very sparkly, very Minogue Christmas."^[6]

The song was used in Australia for Target Christmas TV commercials. The TV ads also starred Dannii Minogue who has a fashion line with Target Australia.

A remix EP was released on 7 December 2015.^[7]

An altered version 100 Degrees (It's Still Disco to Me) without the word "Christmas" was released on 1 April 2016.

Music video

The music video sees the pair recording the song and having fun in the studio, surrounded by tinsel, with Dannii donning 'Disco Christmas' T-shirt & Kylie donning a 'Kylie Kissmass' T-shirt.^[8][9]

Reception

Mike Wass from Idolator called "100 Degrees" the album's highlight. Wass said "The siblings inject a whole lot of fabulous into the festive season with disco-tinged anthem" adding, "the duet is every bit as camp as you would expect."^[10]
