Sia

I first heard the Australian singer Sia through her hit Clap Your Hands way back in 2010.  I was channel surfing then when I encountered her video on MTV.  The video was unique in the Sia way and the bouncy beat definitely caught my attention.

That's how I was introduced to her!  Eventually, she did vocals for David Guetta and Flo Rida, and both became worldwide hits.  It was just a matter of time before the world discovered her talent!

She has five top 10 hits in My FABE Music Top 10 countdown including three #1 songs.

2010 - Clap Your Hands (#1) *1 week

2011 - Titanium (with David Guetta) (#1) * 1 week

2017 - Bang My Head (with Fetty Wap and David Guetta) (#8)
