Angélica Ksyvickis better known by the mononym Angélica (born November 30, 1973) is a Brazilian television presenter, actress and singer. 　　Ksyvickis' career began at 4, when she won a contest to choose Brazil's most beautiful child at a popular variety show presented by Chacrinha. At 13, she became famous for replacing Xuxa as the presenter of the kids show "Club of the Child". Her popularity exploded when her hit single Vou de táxi ("I go by taxi", a remake of Joe le taxi, by French singer Vanessa Paradis) topped the Brazilian charts. Vou de táxi becoming a big hit has since become a classic, and is remembered by most of the Brazilian population, even though more than 20 years have lapsed since its release. Likewise, in 1991, her new album named "Angelica" increased her popularity with the song "Sweet cotton and Guarana". She also starred on the popular mini-series The Guarani. 　　Angélica has sold over 13 million copies of albums in which 13 of them were released between 1988 and 2001. 　　In 1993, she joined the second most popular channel in Brazil, SBT presenting the kids variety show "Home of Angelica", which was a big hit. More popular than ever she also presented the popular teen game show "Pass or Repass" and "Animal TV". 　　In 1996 she signed a 7 years contract with the media-giant Rede Globo to present her own show, Angélica (mostly known as Angel Mix, every weekday mornings, which was followed by "Hunting Talents", a soap opera starring her like Fairy Belle. The ratings were robust, making Angélica even more famous than Xuxa; this was the first time any TV hostess had surpassed her in popularity. Sales of her merchandising and CDs were also huge. 　　But soon, after the initial boom, the ratings began to decline and she changed the format of the show several times. While in 1996 Angélica was unbeatable among kids, in 1997 she lost popularity to Chiquititas (that year, Angelica's album sold 300,000 copies vs. 800,000 copies by the Chiquititas cast), but she was still very popular until 1999. In 1998, she had 250 products linked to her name and made more money than Xuxa due to licensing (the Angélica shoes by Grendene sold over 1 million pairs in 5 months; in the same period her cereal sold over 7 million boxes and her nail polish sold 4 million). The success of her products was even more remarkable because unlike Eliana (3rd on the list) and Gugu Liberato (4th), she didn't promote her product-line during her show.
