This Is It: The Very Best Of

This Is It: The Very Best Of is a compilation album by Australian singer Dannii Minogue released in 2013. Besides including singles from her five studio albums, the album boasts a cover of "The Winner Takes It All", recorded as a duet with Kylie Minogue in 2008 for the British sitcom Beautiful People soundtrack and "'Cos You're Beautiful", a new track Dannii recorded in 2010 with her X Factor protegee Ruth Lorenzo.[1] The album noticeably includes the mashup remix of "Don't Wanna Lose This Feeling" with Madonna's 1985 single "Into the Groove" rather than its main single version.
