June 28, 20222 yr but in the first half of 2012 they could have re-released Lights in the UK, at least try...
June 28, 20222 yr It wouldn't surprise me if she is going with a sped up version of Lights. It is being used in over 40k TikTok videos
June 29, 20222 yr not too important but i walked past her at Lorde's show in Ali Pali last night and was utterly starstruck
June 29, 20222 yr Author It wouldn't surprise me if she is going with a sped up version of Lights. It is being used in over 40k TikTok videos Sped Up version of "Lights" out this week as a gift. ^_^
June 30, 20222 yr 'lights' finally being a hit in the UK is absolute LOLZ. i do love that moment at her shows when she plays it and there's a slight wtf look from fans. especially when she ommits tracks there were bigger. Edited June 30, 20222 yr by dannjohn
June 30, 20222 yr I feel like 'Lights' is actually a well-known song despite only peaking at #49 here.
June 30, 20222 yr I do think Lights is a well known song in the UK still. However what does baffle me is that she never gets recognised for her success overseas in the UK. I feel like at this point she is now more popular overseas than she is here.
June 30, 20222 yr I'd say definitely the UK is her biggest market and where she's been more successful
June 30, 20222 yr I'd say definitely the UK is her biggest market and where she's been more successful On an albums level yes, but on an individual singles level perhaps not Lights is Silver here whereas it's 6x Platinum in the US Anything Could Happen - Platinum in the UK, 2x Platinum in the US Burn - 2x Platinum in the UK, 4x Platinum in the US Love Me Like You Do - 3x Platinum in the UK but it is 9x Platinum in Australia and 7x Platinum in the US On My Mind - Platinum in the UK, 2x Platinum in the US Close To Me - Gold in the UK, 2x Platinum in the US and Australia Hate Me - Gold in the UK, 2x Platinum in the US I know they're bigger markets but comparatively you have to sell more to get the bigger certifications
June 30, 20222 yr I can't countenance the idea that 'Burn', 'Anything Could Happen' and 'On My Mind' at least were bigger hits in the US than in the UK.
June 30, 20222 yr Radio in the US also collectively eat every single song she does up. I do just feel like her international success is never celebrated. Bare in mind she was getting success in the US in a period where very little British artists were.
July 1, 20222 yr Lights iTunes: #96 Australia Spotify: 162 Australia Apple Music: #31 Lebanon #62 Australia Shazam: #10 Israel #15 Norway #20 Australia #31 Singapore #41 New Zealand #47 Czech Republic #48 Canada #50 Ireland #51 Sweden #56 Denmark #61 United States #69 Switzerland #71 Worldwide #77 Austria #78 Netherlands #83 Finland #83 United Kingdom #87 Hungary #94 Germany #96 Belgium #110 Bulgaria #114 Greece #115 France #121 Poland #126 Malaysia #130 Croatia #142 Belarus #152 Portugal #153 Romania #154 Ukraine #181 Saudi Arabia Deezer: #65 Norway
July 1, 20222 yr i think ellie's had a few hits in the US but i'd hardly call it successful. Her 'Brightest Blue' tour in Eventim Apollo felt more like an intimate tour when she could easily have sold The O2 i reckon
July 3, 20222 yr look at her discography in the UK vs US, it's not even comparable, 11 Top 10 hits in the UK including three #1s vs 2 top 10s in the US, no #1s 22 top 40 hits in the UK, just 5 in the US with 3 as the lead UK: Under the sheets/53 Starry Eyed/4 Guns and Horses/26 The Writer/19 Your song/2 Wonderman/12 (Tinie Tempah ft Ellie Goulding) Lights/49 Anything could Happen/5 Figure 8/33 Explosions/13 I Need your Love/4 (Calvin Harris ft Ellie Goulding) Burn/1 How long will I Love You/3 Goodness Gracious/16 Beating Heart/9 Flashlight/47 (DJ Fresh ft Ellie Goulding) Outside/6 (Calvin Harris ft Ellie Goulding) Love me like you Do/1 Powerful/54 (Major Lazer ft Ellie Goulding) On My Mind/5 Something in the way you move/51 Lost and Found/57 Army/20 Still falling for you/11 First time/34 (w.
