* SignatureSong: "Chandelier", due to being her BreakthroughHit as a solo. "Cheap Thrills" comes close as a second.

* BreakthroughHit: While "Breathe Me" brought initial attention to herself as an artist, the later album ''We Are Born'' brought her into stardom at home. Her featured spots on "Wild Ones" and "Titanium", and the next album ''1000 Forms of Fear'' broke her into the mainstream worldwide.
