Kylie Minogue has become the latest pop star rumoured to be in dispute with record company EMI.

The singer has been disappointed with the performance of her comeback album X, which has so far shifted 315,000 copies. It is expected to narrowly avoid dropping from the Top 40 today.

Sources have claimed that Kylie blames EMI, which owns her label Parlophone, for sales failing to match her expectations.

"It has not been the massive comeback Kylie has hoped for and the blame has to fall at someone's door," an insider told the Daily Star Sunday. "It is hoped that the flagging sales will pick up with the release of her second single, 'Wow', but if not it could be curtains for her relationship with EMI."

A spokesman for Parlophone records said: "This is not something I want to comment on at this stage."

Robbie Williams has gone on strike against EMI, while Coldplay are also said to be considering their future with the label.
