All the way back on May 3rd I announced Chet Faker's record Built on Glass was announced as my second album of the year nomination and earlier in March Pharrell's monster album G I R L was the first album of the year nomination. So it's high time for the next nomination, yes it's Adelaide born SIA.

53,000,000 YouTube views later for the below lead single's official music video Sia really is taking 2014 by the horns.
This song will definitely feature very highly on my end of year Top 200 list. Sia has not only brought the game with this track but featured on the Hunger Games - Catching Fire soundtrack with Elastic Heart. This extra exposure and feature with the Weeknd and Diplo gave Sia a whole new reach.
The album however is terrific, on Saturday morning whilst cleaning my entire bomb site of a unit I listened to this start to finish and there was some old sounding Sia and some sexy new sounding Sia on this record.
She is one of the most respected song writers of our time and this album will really launch her career. I can only imagine how many ARIA awards are coming her way and potentially Global music awards too.
Her no face policy is also drawing a lot of publicity and we all know any publicity is good publicity.
Sia is a superstar and she joins two other musical stars Pharrell Williams and Chet Faker for this years Album of the Year. Come back Boxing Day and all will be revealed. It's a tight race so far but with the mid year hump just hit there will be plenty more nominations to come.
A full mid year report is also on the way.....
