Aussie artist Emily Perry is quickly becoming an act worth keeping an eye on as her latest track continues to attract attention in the US.
The 18-year-old Sydney singer's August-released Boom cracked the US Billboard Dance chart within days of its release and was the fifth-most added song in its first week out.
Since then, the song, produced by Jackie Boyz (Justin Bieber, Chris Brown), has stayed strong on the Dance Club Songs list and currently sits at #13 after jumping up six spots from last week.
Perry, who currently lives between Sydney and LA where she is working on a debut album, now sits on a chart with some huge names such as Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars and P!nk.
Speaking to The Music, Perry said she was elated to see Boom hit the global chart.
"I was so stoked to see all the work that my team and I put in pay off in such a positive way," Perry said.
"I wanted success for this song not only for myself but also for all the people that supported me and helped me through this process.
"My heart was so full and to be honest, I just want to fly the Aussie flag and make my country proud."
Given that the song climbed up a few spots this past week, there's every chance Boom could crack the top ten and even make a play for #1.
"Well, I've definitely thought about it, I mean number one is the dream but even top ten is an incredible gift in itself," Perry said.
"I'm really not expecting anything other than the hope that people vibe out to it and take something away from my music."

Boom has been such a hit that US producer and Grammy Award winner Dave Aude released his own remix of the track; check it out below.
Both it and her first single, Sugarcoated, have been accepted for consideration in the 60th Grammy Awards, while she has been booked to perform at premier music industry red-carpet Grammy week event, The Soiree in New York this coming January.
Perry added there are "definitely some talks" about upcoming tour dates in Australia and the US which will commence after her Grammy gig.
Perry will follow up the success of Boom with a new single due out in December.
