This news is especially exciting for those who've been rooting for the Australian singer, considering she's spent the past four years putting her energy into writing songs for others. Among them: Rihanna's "Diamonds," Beyonc�'s "Pretty Hurts" and Ne-Yo's "Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself)."

Now she's finally receiving the recognition she deserves. This victory is all the more impressive since she bypassed a traditional promotional cycle behind 1000 Forms of Fear.
