I guess who this is who Ellie originally wanted on 'Close To Me'.

Nah, it was a male rapper.

 

Anyway, why would Cardi turn down Ellie if she’s willing to collab with Jake Bugg, Rita Ora and Charli XCX :kink:

she turned down little mix tho

 

she says she's on too many pop records

Down to #57 in the UK this week and will be on ACR next week, but hopefully it climbs back into top 50 seeing as Christmas songs will disappear. Not too fussed at the #17 peak as it would’ve peaked at #12 if it wasn’t for Christmas songs, so I’d consider it a hit!

 

Now I’m hoping it can go top 20 in the US which definitely seems possible! :P

Wonder where this would have peaked if it wasn't for Christmas songs. :thinking:

I kind of liked this when I first heard it, but I've grown to really quite dislike it now. The chrous just grates on me so much.

This is up to #37 on the Billboard Hot 100... without the Xmas songs :kink:

so it’s gonna end up being the same case as Lights where the song is bigger in the US than in the UK

Billboard Hot 100: #33(+27) Close to Me, @elliegoulding & @diplo Feat. @goSwaeLee [7 weeks]. *new peak*

 

:cheer:

Not surprised the US is starting to eat this up - it's very manufactured for that market!

#8 in Ireland :cheer:

NEW COLLAB COMING SOON!!!!!!!! :cheer:

thought she said no more collabs :( really want a solo Ellie song

She’s probably a feature on someone else’s song

Close To Me is now top 10 on US Pop Radio! :o :cheer:

New peak of #28 in the US!

Thoroughly well deserved for a legit superb pop song.

Is she following this up soon?

Seeing as it’s on its way to be a fairly big hit in the US, I’m not expecting a follow up until March now.

crazy how this can get such huge airplay in the US, imagine if it was a good song!!! :D

I'm not surprised the Interscope payola is doing wonders for her.
