Sia becomes Australia’s top Spotify export of 2025, topping the Global Impact List for a second time. With millions of international streams and the global success of “Beautiful People,” Sia confirms her lasting influence on the worldwide music scene.
Sia has once again proven that her voice travels far beyond borders. In 2025, Sia was officially named Australia’s top music export on Spotify, dominating the platform’s Global Impact List and reinforcing her position as one of the most influential artists of her generation.
The recognition is more than just another achievement. Sia becomes the first artist ever to top Spotify’s Global Impact List twice. The list measures the international performance of Australian artists outside their home country, based purely on global streaming numbers. In a data-driven era, this ranking reflects real audience engagement around the world.
For Sia, the numbers speak clearly. Her collaboration with David Guetta, “Beautiful People,” secured the No.1 position on the 2025 Global Impact List. The track became one of the most streamed Australian releases internationally, driving massive listening figures across Europe, North America, Asia, and Latin America.
This is not Sia’s first time at the top. She previously led the same list in 2023 with “Gimme Love,” showing that her success is not temporary. Instead, Sia continues to deliver music that resonates globally, regardless of changing trends or emerging competition.
The 2025 title confirms that Sia’s global audience remains strong and active. Even after years in the industry, she maintains a consistent presence on streaming charts. Few artists manage to sustain that level of international impact over such a long period.
Spotify’s Global Impact List focuses on measurable performance beyond domestic success. For Australian artists, breaking into global markets can be challenging. Sia, however, has long operated as an international force. Her music consistently connects with listeners across continents.
“Beautiful People” highlights what makes Sia stand out. The song blends emotional intensity with dance-pop energy, a formula she has mastered over the years. Working again with David Guetta strengthened the track’s global appeal, combining her distinctive voice with club-ready production.
Sia’s streaming dominance also reflects the evolution of music consumption. Spotify has become one of the primary platforms through which artists reach international audiences. With millions of users streaming daily, visibility on Spotify translates directly into global cultural presence.
Beyond a single track, Sia’s catalog continues to perform strongly. Songs from previous albums remain in heavy rotation worldwide. Her music has longevity, often finding new life through playlists, social media trends, and film placements.
Sia’s impact goes beyond raw streaming numbers. She has shaped the sound of modern pop, both as a performer and as a songwriter. Over the years, she has written and collaborated on major hits for other artists while maintaining a distinct solo identity.
The 2025 recognition also reflects the broader strength of Australian music on the global stage. Artists like Tame Impala and The Kid LAROI have secured strong positions internationally, showing that Australia continues to export influential music. Still, Sia stands at the top of the list.
Her career has never relied solely on visibility. Known for her distinctive artistic persona and powerful vocals, Sia built a brand rooted in authenticity and emotional storytelling. That identity translates across languages and markets.
In a streaming-driven industry, sustaining momentum can be difficult. Algorithms change. Trends shift quickly. Viral hits often fade as fast as they rise. Sia’s consistent presence on global charts demonstrates a deeper connection with listeners.
Spotify’s data confirms that her audience is not concentrated in one region. Sia’s streams come from multiple territories, reflecting balanced global appeal. That international reach is precisely what the Global Impact List measures.
Her official platform continues to serve as a hub for fans, offering updates on new releases and projects. Even as the industry becomes more fragmented, Sia maintains direct communication with her audience.
The achievement also highlights how collaboration remains central to her strategy. “Beautiful People” benefited from David Guetta’s electronic production style, but Sia’s vocals remain the emotional core. Her voice carries both vulnerability and strength, qualities that resonate across cultures.
The music industry has become more competitive than ever. With thousands of new tracks uploaded daily, visibility is harder to secure. Yet Sia manages to break through that noise consistently.
Her second Global Impact List victory sends a clear message: Sia is not defined by a single era. She continues to adapt while preserving her signature style. That balance keeps her relevant in an environment where relevance is constantly challenged.
The 2025 recognition adds another milestone to an already remarkable career. Sia has moved from being a successful songwriter to becoming one of Australia’s most powerful global exports.
Streaming platforms have changed the rules of the music industry, but they have also created opportunities for artists to connect directly with global listeners. Sia has mastered that system without losing her creative identity.
As Spotify’s data shows, millions of listeners continue to choose her music daily. That consistency is what separates lasting influence from short-term success.
With her second Global Impact List No.1, Sia confirms that her voice remains one of the most recognizable and powerful forces in modern pop. In 2025, Australia’s strongest Spotify export is once again Sia — and the global audience is still listening.
