Written by Cave and released as the lead single from the Bad Seeds\u2019 1996 album <em>Murder Ballads<\/em>, the duet cast Minogue as the doomed Eliza Day opposite Cave\u2019s murderous narrator \u2014 a stark departure from her pop image at the time. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIt became Cave\u2019s biggest commercial hit, reaching No. 2 on the ARIA Singles Chart in Australia and No. 11 on the U.K. Singles Chart, and won the 1996 ARIA Award for Song of the Year. The accompanying video, which depicted Minogue lying in a river in a pose evoking Millais\u2019 painting <em>Ophelia<\/em>, became a fixture on MTV and helped push <em>Murder Ballads<\/em> to the biggest commercial success of the band\u2019s career.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tMinogue, one of the most successful pop artists of her generation, has scored seven entries on the Billboard Hot 100 \u2014 including \u201cThe Loco-Motion\u201d (No. 3) and \u201cCan\u2019t Get You Out of My Head\u201d (No. 7) \u2014 and 11 titles on the Billboard 200, led by 2001\u2019s <em>Fever<\/em> at No. 3.
