Our Top 10 Sia songs list looks at the career of an Australian singer-songwriter and actress who hit it big around the world in the 2010s. However, Sia had been around for a long time before she reached worldwide fame with her 2014 single “Chandelier.” Her career began in the mid-1990s with a band entitled Crisp. Eventually, the band would break up and Sia would begin a solo career. She released her first solo album in 1997 entitled OnlySee. From that point on, Sia would release nine studio albums and sixty-five singles. She has also been in high demand as a musical collaborator and featured singer with many other famous musical artists.

Sia stands as one of the most popular artists of the past ten years alongside artists such as Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Adele and Dua Lipa. Our Top 10 Sia songs list features some of her career highlights.

# 10 – Taken For Granted

We just love that guitar sound at the beginning of the tune and the way it is met by those striking string lines.
