ARIA Music Award winner Anthony Callea is no stranger to Australian audiences as one of the country’s finest and most recognised singers.
More than a decade after one of Australia’s most memorable TV performances, Anthony Callea continues to notch up successes. ‘ARIA Number 1 Hits in Symphony’ (Recorded with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra) debuted at #1 on the ARIA charts which saw him join the elite ranks of Australian music’s royal family - John Farnham, Jimmy Barnes, Keith Urban and The John Butler Trio - as the only Australian artist to have had three of more albums debut at #1 in ARIA chart history. The Prayer remains the fastest selling single title of all time.
2020 saw Anthony share new self-penned music and “Shadows” was an intimate glimpse into life in the spotlight. Written by Anthony Callea, Liam Quinn and Ned Philpot, “Shadows” showcases trademark Callea vocal brilliance whilst delving into the deep questions all of us face in relationships. “Shadows" tells the story of the struggle’s relationships have as years go by and keeping that spark alive.
2020 did not stop Anthony in delivering exciting releases and December saw Anthony team up with one of Australia’s powerhouse vocalists, Neighbours star and Masked Singer winner, Bonnie Anderson for a fresh summer take on Janet Jackson’s #1 Billboard hit, TOGETHER AGAIN! This summer anthem smashed the iTunes Charts within the first 48hrs peaking at #2 and again debuting at #1 on the AIR charts.
Going back, it was in 2004 that Australian audiences first felt the powerful voice of Anthony. From that history-making and one of Australia’s most memorable TV performance’s on Australian Idol came his #1 debut single release, The Prayer, which swelled the heart of the nation. The Prayer became Australia’s fastest and highest-selling single of all time and continued with a string of multi-platinum and chart-topping releases.
