Biography
Ellie Goulding's five studio albums and 43 billion streams made her one of the best-selling British female artists of the 21st century. Born Elena Jane Goulding on 30 December 1986 in Hereford, she began writing songs at 15 and released her debut single "Under the Sheets" through Neon Gold Records in 2009, signing with Polydor that year. Her debut EP An Introduction to Ellie Goulding introduced her synth-pop sound, which fully landed with Lights (2010), a No. 1 UK album that spawned the Elton John cover "Your Song" alongside "Starry Eyed" and "Lights". Halcyon (2012) and its repackaged edition Halcyon Days (2013) cemented her chart power with "Anything Could Happen" and "Burn", the latter becoming her first UK No. 1 single. She collaborated with DJ Calvin Harris on "I Need Your Love" and "Outside", then received a Grammy nomination for "Love Me like You Do" from the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack after releasing Delirium in 2015. Between 2016 and 2020, Goulding stepped back, managing anxiety and media falsehoods about her personal life. Brightest Blue (2020) marked her return with her third UK chart-topping album and fourth consecutive RIAA certification, spawning hits "Close to Me", "Hate Me", and "Sixteen". She reunited with Harris on "Miracle", which spent eight non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 in the UK in 2023. Her fifth album Higher Than Heaven (2023) debuted at No. 1, making her the British female with the most number-one albums in UK history, tied with Adele. A Capricorn born in 1986, Goulding is an activist and singer-songwriter who performs across multiple genres. She has won two Brit Awards, two Grammy nominations, a Billboard Music Award, and received a Time 100 Impact Award for environmental activism. With 216 million singles sold worldwide, she ranks among the era's defining pop voices.
