I never had an idea about this song until I heard the commercial of Samsung using this. Now I get to listen to it and it is pretty good.

Up to 78 in the Hot 100. Pleased to see radio isn’t sleeping on this.

So Sia is breaking the "40 plus women the end of career rule" and also that you have to look like bimbo to be successful.

She gets perceived more like a professional entertainer who doesn't care about her age instead of a washed-up former teen star trying to stay relevant.

Even with the commercial I’m surprised this is taking off hope it becomes a big fall hit

Reminds me of the mid 00’s when basically any song featured in an iTunes commercial became a hit. This has been stuck in my head all day despite the fact that I’m only familiar with the brief clip from its commercial... and I’ve only seen it once or twice bc I barely watched tv!

This got stuck in my head after hearing it once. It sounds great on the radio - refreshing even. Sia's voice creates memorable moments quite effortlessly. So Sia is breaking the "40 plus women the end of career rule" and also that you have to look like bimbo to be successful. It is nice to see. However, I think it's also important to point out that she was already 38 when she had her first mainstream hit with Chandelier in the US four years ago. She was a "new", unclaimed artist for this generation's mainstream pop audience in the states to embrace. I've always used Sia as an example of how it's not necessarily about an artist's age, it's about which generation they "belong to" in terms of pop music culture, specifically in the US. History shows us that we (listeners and programmers and labels alike) tend to focus on the current generation of pop stars, not those that staked their claim 10-20-30 years prior. Point being, there's a difference between 40+ established artists who had a string of hits starting in the 80s, 90s and 00s, and someone like Sia. Using her as an exception to a rule that is generally applied to established, aging hitmakers is lacking some appropriate context.

I actually thought you had a very insightful, well spoken reply that challenged Sigur's statement. I love this song, and actively root for anything Sia and Labrinth do!

I'm never surprised anymore when someone replies to a thoughtful post with some snarky sarcasm that seems to want to diminish everything that was said. Because, well, internet. I do wonder if some people interact this way in real life, or if they're able to have a thoughtful conversation about things they choose to bring up.

Couple of thoughts: at first it was meant as a joke and the second - there is a widespread opinion that women over 40 cant´t have a pop career and Sia is proving it wrong. What is the reason - she is extremely talented - yes she is obviously, but talent has nothing to do with pop charts. Another reason is, that part of her marketing is hiding her looks and maybe here is the key - people dont realize her age - and this video for Thunderclouds is doing a fine job creating Sia´s image - it´s one of the best music videos all-time and I really mean it. And is younger generation connecting her voice with Maddie´s image - they probably are - not that it´s the same as Milli Vanilli or something:)

Her songwriting style, her voice, and her image all connected at the same time in the public eye. It's an amazing success story.

And is younger generation connecting her voice with Maddie´s image - they probably are - not that it´s the same as Milli Vanilli or something:) My initial point to you still stands. This wide spread opinion you speak of usually pertains to artists who've already had hits for years. From my experience, when people speak of "ageism", it's in reference to proven artists who stop getting played around age 40. Sia is a very rare situation of an artist who had her first US pop hit at age 38... and as you mention... she wasn't even revealing herself to the audience. It's not like everyone knew of her from 10-20-30 years ago and their moms listened to her. She was this mysterious "new" act with a great song and a killer voice. Her older-than-usual age for a pop radio debut was not a factor because she was a "new" artist for this generation to take embrace as their own. I was speaking to the difference between her and all the other existing superstars who stopped getting pop airplay support later in their incredibly hit-filled careers.

Her songwriting style, her voice, and her image all connected at the same time in the public eye. It's an amazing success story. Yes. I also think that along with her songwriting style being great, her two biggest hits were actually written specifically for a much younger, current artist. That definitely didn't hurt, and it's a lot different than a 45-60 year old artist writing songs about and for themselves. Relatability is key. Her entire follow up album was titled "This is Acting", which speaks for itself. She's an incredibly talented singer and songwriter, there's no question about that. I've loved her since hearing Breathe Me for the first time. Ah, memories!

My only problem with Sia is the thousands of random singles and movie songs. It really makes every release of hers to feel like less of an event. (Get that money though!). Her last proper album was great.

Her last proper album was great. I hear you. I also get the impression she's not comfortable being this big pop star, though, so it kinda makes sense. Like she's happy just being prolific without all the pressure and hype.

^ That's interesting, 'cause I seem to recall an interview (I think it was around the time 'Chandelier' was out) where Sia discussed weighing her anxiety issues against her ambition to have a #1 hit, knowing that to achieve the hit most popstars need to get out in front of people and be seen, which she didn't want to do, for the sake of her mental health.

She found a way to stay true to herself and put her mental health first, but she STILL got that number 1 hit with Cheap Thrills! Two music videos, countless live performances, and the Sean Paul addition. She went for the #1 but did it on her own terms. And she succeeded. One of the most validating, exciting number ones in a while for me personally. Probably the only song that has come close since is Bodak Yellow - that was a hard earned, underdog number 1 as well. Excuse my tangent. Does anyone think that a full album is coming? And do you think this will help raise Labrinth's profile in the US? I love him!

There's apparently an LSD album set for release later this year. No cover art yet, or much info at all, so it might depend on wheter this song connects (or another single).
