This Is Songwriting: Sia’s 10 Greatest Hits for Other Artists

Sia's come off a banner year, garnering multiple accolades and racking up millions of downloads from her sixth solo album, 1,000 Forms of Fear -- buoyed by the international hit, "Chandelier" and its accompanying video. But never one to rest on her laurels, Ms. Furler has been sitting on what sounds like a future pop masterpiece in the waiting.

"I'm super productive. I have a full album ready to go and it's much more pop," the queer Aussie singer told NME. "I'm calling it This Is Acting because they are songs I was writing for other people, so I didn't go in thinking 'this is something I would say'. It's more like play-acting. It's fun."

In anticipation of This Is Acting, here are 10 of Sia's greatest gifts to other artists.

"Diamonds" - Rihanna

Until Sir Paul and King Kanye came along, this remained RiRi's best vocal -- though Sia's acoustic version is arguably better.

"Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself)" - Ne-Yo

What could easily be an eyeroll-inducing sentiment became one of the best millennial Mike Jack-inspired tracks, fittingly sung by serial MJ-aper, Ne-Yo.

"Perfume" - Britney Spears

Sia not only provided Brit-Brit's best mid tempo jam in years but an ageless jingle for La Spears' massive fragrance empire.

"Pretty Hurts" - Beyonce

Leave it to Sia to turn a song about how hard it is being Beyonce into Bey's opening salvo in her Grammy-robbed feminist manifesto.

"Sexercize" - Kylie Minogue

A song that delights in its own silliness, Kylie and Sia serve more than a little Olivia Newton-John "Let's Get Physical" realness -- the multiple homoerotic videos give Minogue a stilettoed step up, though.

"Radioactive" - Rita Ora

Sia took it back to the early-90s with this Hi-NRG throwback track-- complete with emotive synths, a good old four-to-the-floor and what sounds like a rip from dancefloor classic "Show Me Love" around the 4:20 mark.

"Opulence" - Brooke Candy

O-P-U-L-E-N-C-E. Sia owns everything. Everything is hers.

"You Lost Me" - Christina Aguilera

Instead of packing every note on the scale into a single phrase, the artist occasionally known as Xtina maintains admirable restraint so that a little vocal showboating at around 4:05 will send chills up and down your spine.

"Loved Me Back to Life" - Celine Dion

Celine's legendary voice fits perfectly with Sia's anthemic songwriting, soaring like a beautiful, French Canadian eagle.

"Kill, Fuck, Marry" - Nikki Williams

Sia must have dug this lyric out of the"Been There, Girlfriend" files: "Don't know what I should do/ Kill, fuck or marry you."
