Perth-raised singer Samantha Jade puts fans before charts.

Topping the charts isn’t Samantha Jade’s top priority any more.

After more than a decade in the industry, the former "The X Factor Australia" winner said she places a greater emphasis on pleasing her fans, rather than the industry:

“I have to say, i have definitely let go of checking and refreshing the charts all the time”, the Perth-raised pop star said, "It is not about that. Of course, you are always nervous and you always want everything you do to be well received and you want to be loved by your industry and peers, but you also just want the people that love your music and the people who have stuck by you to love you and what you are doing. That is much more important for me these days.”

Jade, who has released two albums within just 11 months — "Best Of My Love" and "The Magic Of Christmas" — described the achievement as “wild”:

“I think it is rare to have two albums out in this day and age, so it is really humbling and nice to be able to say, i have two records out”, she said, “This is my fourth album now, so it is pretty amazing.”

The 31-year-old had a revelation while recording the Christmas album:

“They print the lyrics out for you for some of the songs and i was like: "Oh my Gosh, i have made up my own words for so many of these songs for so many years”; she said, “I have to retrain myself to learn them correctly. But i just love carols. Carols really reflect this beautiful time of the year. My favourite carol this year is "I’ll Be Home For Christmas". I haven’t been home for a while and i am this year, so that one is very special.”

07/12/18 - Samantha Jade being interviewed for the website "Who.com.au"

Samantha Jade: The truth about my relationship.

Samantha Jade opens up about the gift of giving, her new music and spending Christmas with someone special.

What are you doing this festive season?

I’m going home to Perth, which i am so excited about! I’m going to hang out with dad, my brothers and my puppies and have, i think, 10 full days off which is so exciting to me.

What does your family Christmas look like?

We’re such a relaxed family on Christmas, like we do presents in the morning – that’s the best part, then we just sit around and we play games and we listen to carols and we eat so much food and literally just [have] family time.

Will your boyfriend (Pat Handlin) be heading home with you?

Yes, my boyfriend is going to attend.

How are things between you two?

We’re going good, we’re very happy!

Is he the one? Would you propose?

Gosh. I don’t know. I think that’s the guy’s job!
