Sia and her song Cheap Thrills has been in the charts for a long time now, but this week it has entered into the top 10 territory with the likes of Justin Timberlake, Drake, The Chainsmokers, and Calvin Harris.
Every week Rick Dees brings you the latest hits around the world, and Y101 always sees to that we bring it to your ears first.
Justin Timberlake’s summer jam Can’t Stop the Feeling is number one for the 4th week (technically 5th if you consider last week’s All-Hits playlist). Drake still tries to catch up at 3, while The Chainsmokers and Daya takes the second position with their track Don’t Let Me Down.
Entering the Rick Dees Top 40 this week is Sia and her party anthem Cheap Thrills. The song originally peaked at number 14, but now it has climbed up to number 7 just behind Calvin Harris and Rihanna’s This is What You Came For. Cheap Thrills which was originally intended for singer Rihanna but later rejected it for Diamonds, is featured on Sia’s album, a compilation of rejected songs, This is Acting.
Cheap Thrills’ loping tropical beat instantly suggests Rihanna, and its chorus cry of "I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight" would have made sense after the single 'Bitch Better Have My Money'. But the chanted hooks of "I love cheap thrills!" are probably a bit too cheesy for RiRi in 2015 - as Sia says, “they're more suited to bolshy Euro Pop duo Icona Pop. 'Cheap Thrills' doesn't sound like a typical Sia song either, but she's already told us she's "acting" on this album, remember, and there's no denying this is another superior slab of on-trend ear candy from one of pop's finest songwriters. On this evidence, one singer's trash is another's treasure.
