I honestly have no idea why she’s doing a Christmas album, it all seems too cheesy for an artist like her!

Posted by: Poked Pumpkin🎃 17th October 2017, 12:03 AM

Two of those songs - Underneath - sound like the same song!

Just weird.

Posted by: WitchHaus 17th October 2017, 06:05 AM

Going to be amazing. 🎅

You know its gonna be riddled with heartbreak. U left me waiting under the miseltoe etc.

Are these all original tracks?

Looks like they could be, Sia doesn’t seem like the sort of artist to release a studio version of a cover (aside from the Annie track, which was a reinterpretation of a song from the film, for the film, ofc). She’s probably most well known for her songwriting!

Posted by: THEO. 19th October 2017, 10:10 AM

Yeah they're all original, she confirmed that when the album was originally announced in July.

Posted by: lot🎈IT🎈a 19th October 2017, 10:12 AM

surely this isn't going to just be christmassy and it'll end up being rlly deep?!?!

im too suspicious. puppies are forever for #1 tho

Posted by: Cameron 30th October 2017, 04:57 PM


Santa's Coming For Us has been released. I have no idea what the first line is other than something hot chocolate

Posted by: UltraReputation 30th October 2017, 05:04 PM

Omg wtf is she saying in that first line?! 😂

Anyway I'm really underwhelmed by this on first listen, hopefully it grows!

Posted by: liamk97 30th October 2017, 05:08 PM

"Nights are getting short now hot chocolate" is what I hear.

Posted by: SevenSeize 30th October 2017, 05:11 PM

I never knew i needed a Sia christmas album, let's do this #hotchocolate #puppiesareforever

Posted by: liamk97 30th October 2017, 05:17 PM

The song's not bad. I can hear glimpses of pre-1000 Forms of Fear Sia in there which is nice and I think there's room for it to grow a bit more.

I am hoping for something more from the album though. Bring on 'Puppies Are Forever'!

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 30th October 2017, 07:11 PM

Hope theres some Sia-esque xmas songs.

Posted by: Lenny 30th October 2017, 07:41 PM

2 songs about being underneath something ohmy.gif

A song about 3 hoes ohmy.gif

Perhaps it’s a modern twist on the story of the 3 wise men...

Posted by: cqmerqn 30th October 2017, 07:44 PM

That first line laugh.gif

Posted by: The Burbadook 30th October 2017, 09:11 PM

OMFG the first line laugh.gif

Banger tho

Posted by: Joe. 1st November 2017, 09:13 PM

I love it!

I hope she can get a hit out of it. WE NEED MODERN CHRISTMAS HITS.

Jesus christ Santa's Coming For Us is horrendous

Posted by: Cameron 9th November 2017, 11:51 PM

Snowman sounds straight out of Grease!

Posted by: slowdown73 10th November 2017, 12:16 AM

I like both songs, Santa is better though! At least they are original songs unlike what many other artists do by simply churning out the same cover versions of classic songs every year.

Posted by: burbe 12th November 2017, 02:34 PM

Santa's Coming For Us is such a banger

Posted by: Lorderella 16th November 2017, 09:31 PM

So excited. Haven't had time to listen to all of these in full yet but Ho Ho Ho sounds amazing!

The majority doesn't even sound that Xmassy which is great.

Posted by: Cameron 17th November 2017, 09:21 PM

Ho Ho Ho is amazing, the second half of the album is so much stronger than the first

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 18th November 2017, 11:28 AM

Adore this album, not very Christmassy though but that's a good thing.

Posted by: Buttered Muffin 18th November 2017, 12:44 PM

This is DIABOLICAL

It hurts my ears

Omfg SCREEEECH!!! puke.gif

AWWWFUL lyrics and those vocals are literally the WORST I have ever heard

Puppies Are Forever and Candy Cane Lane are LIFE *_*

Why are you all pretending to like this rubbish??

Being fans does not mean blindly going omg when they release an utter turd!!

Or in this case, deafly.

Posted by: HarryApa 18th November 2017, 03:42 PM

Candy Cane Lane, Ho Ho Ho, Puppies are Forever and Underneath The Mistletoe are all xmas jams wub.gif

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 18th November 2017, 04:14 PM

It doesn’t feel very Sia to me.

Posted by: Cameron 22nd November 2017, 08:49 PM



Kristen Bell!!

Posted by: T Boy 22nd November 2017, 08:56 PM

Sia is like the last person I expected to make a Christmas album and definitely the last person who should.

Posted by: M4NG0 22nd November 2017, 10:00 PM

Love that video!

SCFU is a total jam, and also Ho Ho Ho is very good. Can't believe the album is going to miss the Top 40 on its first week sad.gif but fingers crossed it can climb in the next few weeks.

Posted by: Steve201 23rd November 2017, 06:45 PM

I don't get all the negative reviews about this album. Its actually quite good and bold and brave to release an a Christmas album of original songs, rather than the usual run of the mill cover versions with a few new tracks.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 2nd December 2017, 03:29 AM

I tried listening to 'Santa's Coming For Us', but it's absolutely dire and I had to turn it off halfway through. I kind of had high hopes for a Sia Christmas song.

Posted by: slowdown73 2nd December 2017, 08:50 AM

I love Santa’s coming for us. It’s a great Christmas tune but doesn’t appear to be impacting much yet.

People on here don't get you can be a fan but still hate when they release crap

Her screechint vocals and pooe melodies and lyrics here are a joke - no need to petend to like utter noise

No one else away from the forum is laugh.gif

Posted by: ChristmasEve201 2nd December 2017, 11:37 AM

I'm not a Sia fan but am enjoying the album a lot after listening this week. Santas coming for us is good but not the best on the album!

I can't believe "Puppies Are Forever" isn't in the running for Christmas number 1.

Posted by: slowdown73 16th December 2017, 01:21 PM

I’m surprised the single isn’t doing better really given it’s probably the only fresh new xmas song out this year from a major artist.

Posted by: ChristmasEve201 17th December 2017, 11:59 AM

The whole album is pretty amazing imo, hopefully it will be pushed again next year!

Posted by: slowdown73 17th December 2017, 12:33 PM

The album is on sale on Amazon today at £5.89 today. Bargain price!

Posted by: ChristmasEve201 17th December 2017, 02:49 PM

I am streaming it on Apple Music and it's no1 on my personal album chart. Tom Chaplin is another new xmas release I'm enjoying although it's a lot more sedate and not upbeat.

People saying Sias album doesn't even sound Christmassy are wrong - it grows a lot with listens especially the single Santas Coming For Us and I haven't purchased a Sia album in my life!

Posted by: DexTheHalls 2nd November 2018, 05:08 AM

Deluxe Edition out yesterday featuring three new songs

Round And Round
Sing For My Life
My Old Santa Claus

MOSC is sounding decent on first listen although none seem as good as the highs from last year. That might just be because it’s not reeeaallg Christmas yet so they sound a bit random

Posted by: Wreatheo 9th December 2018, 12:49 PM

I've listened to "My Old Santa Claus" a couple of times and I already think it's much better than the entirety of the original album! What were they thinking pushing the dire "Santa's Coming for Us" last year when she was sitting on that?!

Posted by: Lee_J11 9th December 2018, 01:21 PM

I’ve dusted off Candy Cane Lane and Puppies Are Forever and that’ll do laugh.gif

Posted by: Rosemerry 🤶🎁 9th December 2018, 10:23 PM

"Ho Ho Ho" is my jam from the album! A favourite again this December wub.gif

Round And Round is really catchy!

I love the mixed responses to this album, everyone seems to have a different fave too laugh.gif

Posted by: Bjork 10th December 2018, 07:03 AM

it's silly but for me the main issue is her enunciation, that it doesn't sound like English, sounds like she's singing in Cantonese or something

Posted by: M4NG0 10th December 2018, 10:14 AM

Not that impressed with the three new songs, the original album is perfection as it is. I've already played the album twice this season and 'Ho Ho Ho' has been repeated several times biggrin.gif

I have heard 'Santa's Coming For Us' on the radio this December but I kinda wish she'd promoted a different song from the album this year - 'Ho Ho Ho' is so catchy that if she pushed that as a single and sent it to radio, I'm absolutely certain that in a few years time it would become a Christmas classic!

I feel the same, its so annoying. I actually never listen to her albums because I hate this aspect but I somehow managed to ignore it with this album because I genuinely love the songs. But my God, I don’t understand 80% of what she is saying. laugh.gif

Snap! Gave it its second spin this evening on the bus home - really like it. Thought with the deluxe release her record company would have pushed another single as I'm sure radio 2 would lap it up!

Posted by: slowdown73 11th December 2018, 12:18 AM

Was the deluxe edition issued on CD in the UK? I haven’t seen one anywhere in HMV. It’s quite difficult to obtain unless you use EBay!

Posted by: Tombo 15th November 2019, 06:10 PM

I heard Candy Cane Lane in McDonalds today and I was happy.

This is becoming my favourite Christmas album. I have been listening to it a lot over the last few weeks. She has made a lot of good original Xmas music here.

Posted by: Big Boobs Vjay! 15th November 2019, 06:22 PM

Atrocious album - one of the worst ever.

Posted by: Steve201 15th November 2019, 10:59 PM

'Santa's Coming for Us' on UK Spotify so far this year:
146-128-(re)121-165

It was on Monday's singles chart update (now on permanent ACR sad.gif) hoping it re-enters tomorrow!

Posted by: M4ngo Ho Ho 4th December 2020, 12:06 AM

This is without any shadow of a doubt my favourite Christmas album ever biggrin.gif literally not a bad song on it!

I was really hoping she'd push a different song from it each year but sadly that doesn't seem to have happened. 'Ho Ho Ho' would make such an amazing single wub.gif

Posted by: Christmasteve201 4th December 2020, 12:18 AM

I still have to listen this year as I’ve added Jamie Callum and Kelly Clarkson to my on the go list for a variety. I’ve also re added Robbies as it’s only in its second year really. But I will listen to this Phil Spector and Buble again at least once.

It’s a great Xmas album and I do think SCFU and Candy Cane Lane will be songs you hear each year due to the videos and I’ve also seen it in popular culture to for example RTE are using Ho Ho Ho on their Xmas ad and I’ve heard one of the slower tracks this year on something - Snowman I think it was!

Posted by: ts7sfkptm 4th December 2020, 09:25 AM



'Snowman' was very popular on TikTok throughout the year and they jumped on that for a MV a month or so ago, but they aren't pushing it which is odd... SCFU is on all the playlists still and being promoted to US radio along with 'Candy Cane Lane'! her team make the oddest decisions laugh.gif

Yet another new version of the album is out this week, the 'Snowman Deluxe Version', featuring three new tracks:

Pin Drop
Santa Visits Everyone
Snowman (Slowed Down and Snowed In Remix)



Can't say I'm too fussed about the new tracks but it's always nice to have new Sia.

This really is the Christmas gift that keeps on giving laugh.gif I'm not sure why she bothers tbh, this year's crop are the weakest additions by far. The original 10 songs are brilliant, easily my favourite ever Christmas album, but she she should have just left it at that.

Three years but not in a row. The original came out in 2017, then she re-released with added songs in 2018, 2021 and now 2022.

Posted by: dannjohn 14th November 2022, 05:01 PM

i just feel like, and its the same with Ariana's first Xmas EP, that these artistd write songs and then add a few Xmas lyrics in to make it seem like Xmas

Posted by: Smint 14th December 2022, 09:35 PM

Hope "Snowman" can get a new peak this year especially with this weather - it's due to enter the top 40 on Friday at 37 based on today's midweek info but last year it was only at 44 in the equivalent chart and peaked at 35 two weeks later so is already overperforming compared to then. It's beautiful track and I love that video - yes it's a bit soppy but tastefully so.
