Ellie has recently enjoyed her first number 1 UK chart single with Burn. It’s Ellie’s tenth straight solo UK chart hit, following on from playlist staples like Anything Could Happen, Explosions, Starry Eyed, The Writer and  Your Song, as well as having collaborative hits with Calvin Harris and Tinie Tempah. 

Ellie Goulding’s success in the UK has been mirrored internationally and the US in particular has taken Ellie to its heart. Her single Lights has alone sold over two million copies there and spent nearly a year on the charts. 

As her debut album, Lights, made so thrillingly clear, Ellie Goulding uses her voice as a texture in much the same way that a skilled instrumentalist would. It is a sound – in Ellie’s case, an utterly distinctive and unforgettable one – that can play as important a role in her songs as any other musical detail.
