Biography

Employing a stylish mix of arty, confessional bedroom pop and club-ready electro-rock that has drawn comparisons to the likes of Grimes, Lana Del Rey, and Sky Ferreira, New Zealand singer/songwriter Ella Yelich-O'Connor, who goes by the stage name Lorde, became an Internet sensation at the age of 16 with the video for her debut single, "Royals," which garnered over 750,000 hits on YouTube. Her 2013 debut EP, The Love Club, hit the number one spot on both the New Zealand and Australian charts. The New Zealander continued her meteoric rise to fame in 2013 with a growing fan base and began sessions for her debut album, Pure Heroine, with producer Joel Little. - iTunes

Will be seeing American Authors opening for OneRepublic later this year! Love this song :wub:
Quite like this :wub:

Happy that Royals will finally be leaving, so sick of this now.

 

EDIT: Wait, it already left? Well, let me hope it'll leave again soon.

Edited by Math.

For a #1 single with that many weeks top 40, 400k seems rather low :o
I like Lorde but Katy Perry was totally robbed by her..Royals sounds good but it not so good as "Roar". The latter is epic!!!
The American Authors' song is alright, but there's something missing from it. Imagine Dragons do that kind of indie better, although I'm not the biggest fan of 'On Top Of The World' either.
Queen Lorde returning to colonise the top 40 once more *.*

It had already left, but thanks to the Brits it's come back. I do agree though, it's become abit stale now.

Of course. I first heard of the Corrs when I bought Only When I Sleep the week Olive's You're Not Alone went to number 1!

 

But that was May 1997 and 'Only When I Sleep' wasn't released until October 97 ;)!

Kinda bummed that song was a flop in the UK. That and "Radio" are probably their most known songs here.

Summer Sunshine and Long Night are by far my faves :wub:

Biography

Ellie Goulding is a British vocalist whose music finds the balance between electro-pop and indie folk. Born in Hereford, England, she later moved to the country's east coast to study drama at the University of Kent. Goulding had developed a love for folk music as a teenager, and her time at University also exposed her to electronica. After two years, she took a break from her studies and moved to West London, where she pursued a career as an alternative singer/songwriter and befriended producers like Starsmith and Frankmusik, who gave her songs an electro-pop twist. In 2009, Goulding began building an audience via the internet, where early tracks like "Starry Eyed" and a cover of Sam Sparro's "Black & Gold" were posted on taste-making MP3 blogs such as Discodust. Goulding soon graduated from the blogosphere to print media, gaining praise from mainstream publications like The Guardian and fielding offers from record labels. She ultimately signed a major-label deal with Polydor Records and began making preparations to release her debut album. In the meantime, she penned songs for Diana Vickers, Gabriella Climi, and others.

 

During the final weeks of 2009, Goulding topped the BBC's "Sound of 2010," a poll conducted by British music critics and industry insiders to identify new talent. Building on that momentum, she released Lights — a sparkling debut album that splashed Goulding's vocal flutter across a landscape of acoustic and synthesized instruments — in March 2010. Lights topped the U.K. charts during its first week and spun off a Top Five single, "Starry Eyed," which also charted well in Ireland and New Zealand. Later that year, the album was re-released as Bright Lights, featuring seven new recordings (including a cover of Elton John's "Your Song," which peaked at number two). In 2012, Goulding returned with her sophomore album, Halcyon, which showcased an even more sonically adventurous, electro-pop-infused sound. In 2013, a deluxe reissue featuring ten extra songs was released, entitled Halcyon Days, it acted as supplement to the original release. ~ Andrew Leahey & Jason Birchmeier, Rovi / iTunes
