English singer Ellie Goulding has released five studio albums, two remix albums, eight extended plays, 50 singles (including 11 as a featured artist), 13 promotional singles and 49 music videos. She had sold over 2.6 million albums and over 15 million singles (including collaborations) in the United Kingdom alone as of August 2024.[1] According to Recording Industry Association of America, Goulding has sold 28.5 million digital singles and 4.5 million albums in the United States.[2]
After signing to Polydor Records in July 2009,[3] Goulding released her debut extended play, An Introduction to Ellie Goulding, in December of that year. It was followed by the release of her debut studio album, Lights, in February 2010. The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and subsequently earned a double platinum certification from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).[4][1] It spawned four singles: "Under the Sheets", "Starry Eyed", "Guns and Horses" and "The Writer", which reached numbers 53, four, 26 and 19 on the UK Singles Chart, respectively.[4] In November 2010, the album was re-released as Bright Lights; it featured seven new songs, including a cover version of Elton John's "Your Song", which peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart.[4] The sixth single to be lifted from the album, "Lights", peaked at number 49 in the United Kingdom,[4] while becoming Goulding's highest-charting single to date in the United States and Canada, where it reached numbers two and seven, respectively.[5][6]
Goulding's second studio album, Halcyon, was released in October 2012, peaking at number one in the UK and reaching the top 10 in Canada, Germany and the US.[4][7][8][9] It was later certified triple platinum by the BPI and gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[1][2] The album's lead single, "Anything Could Happen", earned Goulding her third top-five song on the UK Singles Chart when it peaked at number five.[4] The track also became her first charting single in Australia (number 20) and second appearance on the US Billboard Hot 100 (number 47).[5][10] Subsequent singles "Figure 8" and "Explosions" peaked at numbers 33 and 13 on the UK chart, respectively.[4] In 2013, Goulding was featured on Calvin Harris's single "I Need Your Love", which reached number four in the UK.[4] That same year, her album Halcyon was reissued as Halcyon Days, containing 10 additional tracks. It was preceded by the lead single "Burn", which gave Goulding her first UK number-one single.[4] The song also became an international success, charting inside the top 10 in several countries.[11] Halcyon Days yielded two more singles: a cover of "How Long Will I Love You" by The Waterboys and "Goodness Gracious".
In 2014, Goulding recorded the song "Beating Heart" for the soundtrack to Divergent, and she also released her second collaboration with Calvin Harris, titled "Outside". The following year, she contributed the song "Love Me Like You Do" to the soundtrack to Fifty Shades of Grey. "Love Me like You Do" became a commercial success worldwide, earning Goulding her second UK number one and topping the charts in several other countries.[4][12] Goulding's third studio album, Delirium, was released in November 2015 and peaked at number three in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia,[4][9][10] while reaching the top five in several other countries.[13] The album spawned three singles: "On My Mind", "Army" and "Something in the Way You Move". In 2016, Goulding recorded the song "Still Falling for You" for the soundtrack to Bridgit Jones' Baby.[14] On the same year, Goulding announced that she was going on indefinite hiatus.[15]
During the hiatus, to keep in touch with her fans, Goulding released several stand-alone singles: "First Time" with Norwegian DJ Kygo, "Return to Love" with Andrea Bocelli, and the covers of Don McLean's "Vincent", the Christmas carol "O Holy Night", and her rendition of Joni Mitchell's "River", which became Goulding's third number-one in her homecountry and the last number-one single of the 2010(s) in the UK.
After a 5-year gap, Goulding made her long-awaited return with her fourth studio album, Brightest Blue, which peaked at number one in the UK, her third album to do so. The record was split into two sides;[16] the first side Brightest Blue, marked the return of Goulding introspective sound and it spanned the singles: "Flux", "Power" and "Love I'm Given", while the second side of the record, titled EG.0, was a more commercial sound, and described by Goulding herself as the songs that her record label (Polydor) wants her to do. It spawned several singles, including: "Close To Me", "Hate Me", "Sixteen", "Slow Grenade" and "Worry About Me", while the first three saw international commercial success.[17]
In 2023, Goulding and Harris released their third collaboration, titled "Miracle". The track was a commercial success in Europe, specially in the United Kingdom where it became Goulding's 35 chart entry in the UK Official Singles Charts, the most entries for any British female soloist in history,[18] and spent eight non-consecutives weeks at number one, becoming Goulding's fourth UK number-one, and her longest running number one single to date.[19] In its second week at number one, Goulding's fifth studio album, Higher Than Heaven was released and debuted atop the UK Albums Chart, marking the first time Goulding simultaneously had a number-one single and album in her career.[20] The record also became her fourth UK number-one album, tying with Adele, as the British female artists with the most number ones albums in UK history. The album spawned the singles: "Easy Lover", "All by Myself", "Let It Die", "Like a Saviour" and "By the End of the Night". In September 2023, Goulding collaborated with music producer TSHA, and singer-songwriter Gregory Porter, on the single "Somebody".[21] During 2024, Goulding released two remixes: "Brightest Blue" (with Nature), and "I Adore You" (alongside J Balvin) and three acclaimed electronic dance collaborations: "Leave Me Slowly" (with Starsmith), "Free" (with Calvin Harris), and "In My Dreams" (with Four Tet).[22][23] Goulding achieved further acclaim with the release of "Hypnotized" (with Anyma) on early 2025.[24]
