Ellie Goulding is an English singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and actress from Lyonshall in Herefordshire, England. Her career began when she met record producer Starsmith and Frankmusik, and she was later spotted by Jamie Lillywhite, who eventually became her manager. After signing with Polydor Records in July 2009, Goulding released her debut extended play (EP), An Introduction to Ellie Goulding, later that year.
In 2010, she became the second artist to both top the BBC's annual poll and win the Critics' Choice Award at the Brit Awards in the same year. Goulding released her debut studio album, Lights, in 2010. The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and has sold over 850,000 copies in the UK alone. In December 2010 her cover of Elton John's "Your Song" reached number two in the UK and on 29 April 2011 she performed it at the wedding reception of Prince William and Catherine Middleton at Buckingham Palace. The album's title track, "Lights" was released in the US in March 2011, and peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. It was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Goulding's leading single ‘Anything Could Happen’ preceded the release of the October 2012 release of her second album, Halcyon. Halcyon debuted at number two in the UK Albums Chart, and, after 65 weeks, reached number one. It debuted at number nine on the Billboard 200 Chart; Goulding’s first top ten debut in the United States. Halcyon Days, a repackaged edition of Halcyon, was released on 23 August 2013 and included new singles, notably "Burn", which became her first UK number-one single in the same month. She was awarded Best British Female at the 2014 BRIT Awards, and by the end of 2013she had sold an estimated 4 million albums and 15 million singles worldwide.
