Album of the Week | SIA | This is Acting | The Facts

This week Flashing off the Record has flogged Sia's 7th and wonderful record, This is Acting. The album was preceded by 6 pre-order singles, one official single Alive before it hit the stands.

During the week you have heard Alive (as well as seen the sensational music video), Reaper and the other Rihanna penned track Cheap Thrills. So today it's time to hear a bit about the album.

* Track Ten (my favourite) features a sample of the 90's jam by Sisqo Thong Song. Great crazy pop jam you would have found on previous albums.

* Alive was originally written for Adele as was Bird Set Free. Bird Set Free was also offered to the Pitch Perfect soundtrack and Rihanna.

* One Million Bullets is the only song Sia said was too personal and was her for keeps.

* Cheap Thrills and Reaper as mentioned above were also offered to Rihanna, the later produced by Kanye West.

* Unstoppable was the final promotional single ahead of the album leaking before it's release last Friday.
