Her most recent effort, 1000 Forms of Fear, is her first chart-topper on the Billboard 200, a weekly ranking of top-selling albums.

The Australian performer's latest hit single Chandelier has been her first solo top 20 hit in the United States and achieved triple-platinum sales in Australia, peaking at No. 2 on the charts.

Sia's promotion of her latest work has been somewhat odd, but obviously successful.

Despite a low-key launch, the album sold 52,000 copies in its first week after being released on July 8.

She performed Chandelier on US television program Ellen with her back to the camera and has opted not to take part in traditional photo shoots usually favoured by recording artists.

That appearance was the first promotional work Sia did for the album after she signed a recording deal with RCA Records stipulating she was not required to tour the record or give press interviews to promote it.
