Елена Джейн Голдинг (англ. Elena Jane Goulding; род. 30 декабря 1986, Херефорд, Англия), более известная как Элли Голдинг (англ. Ellie Goulding) — британская певица и композитор. Приобрела известность после того, как заняла первую строчку в опросе BBC Sound of 2010 и победила в номинации «Выбор критиков» в конкурсе BRIT Awards 2010 года. После подписания контракта с Polydor Records в 2009 году выпустила свой первый EP «An Introduction to Ellie Goulding», за которым последовал дебютный студийный альбом, «Lights».
«Lights» дебютировал на первой строчке в UK Albums Chart, в Великобритании было распродано более 850 тысяч копий этого альбома. В декабре 2010 года кавер Элли на песню Элтона Джона «Your Song» достиг в Соединённом Королевстве второй строчки, а в апреле 2011-го 3 недели занимал первое место на iTunes. Эту песню певица исполняла на приёме по случаю свадьбы принца Уильяма и Кейт Миддлтон в Букингемском дворце. В марте 2011 года в США был выпущен сингл «Lights», который занял первое место в чарте Billboard Pop Songs, первое место в чарте Billboard On-Demand и второе место в Billboard Hot 100 почти через полтора года, выполнив одно из самых долгих в истории подъёмов на две верхние позиции чарта. Сингл, более года находившийся в Billboard Hot 100, стал трижды платиновым в Великобритании.
В октябре 2012-го года Элли выпустила второй альбом, получивший название «Halcyon», который так же хорошо был принят критиками. Сингл «Anything Could Happen» попал в первую пятёрку в Великобритании и в топ 20 в Австралии, Новой Зеландии и Ирландии. Halcyon дебютировал на втором месте в чарте альбомов Великобритании и занял девятую позицию в чарте Billboard 200. Альбом так же попал в пятёрку лучших в Новой Зеландии, в топ 10 в Ирландии и Канады и первую двадцатку в Австралии.

Елена Джейн Голдинг (англ. Elena Jane Goulding; род. 30 декабря 1986, Херефорд, Англия), более известная как Элли Голдинг (англ. Ellie Goulding) — британская певица и композитор. Приобрела известность после того, как заняла первую строчку в опросе BBC Sound of 2010 и победила в номинации «Выбор критиков» в конкурсе BRIT Awards 2010 года. После подписания контракта с Polydor Records в 2009 году выпустила свой первый EP «An Introduction to Ellie Goulding», за которым последовал дебютный студийный альбом, «Lights».
«Lights» дебютировал на первой строчке в UK Albums Chart, в Великобритании было распродано более 850 тысяч копий этого альбома. В декабре 2010 года кавер Элли на песню Элтона Джона «Your Song» достиг в Соединённом Королевстве второй строчки, а в апреле 2011-го 3 недели занимал первое место на iTunes. Эту песню певица исполняла на приёме по случаю свадьбы принца Уильяма и Кейт Миддлтон в Букингемском дворце. В марте 2011 года в США был выпущен сингл «Lights», который занял первое место в чарте Billboard Pop Songs, первое место в чарте Billboard On-Demand и второе место в Billboard Hot 100 почти через полтора года, выполнив одно из самых долгих в истории подъёмов на две верхние позиции чарта. Сингл, более года находившийся в Billboard Hot 100, стал трижды платиновым в Великобритании.
В октябре 2012-го года Элли выпустила второй альбом, получивший название «Halcyon», который так же хорошо был принят критиками. Сингл «Anything Could Happen» попал в первую пятёрку в Великобритании и в топ 20 в Австралии, Новой Зеландии и Ирландии. Halcyon дебютировал на втором месте в чарте альбомов Великобритании и занял девятую позицию в чарте Billboard 200. Альбом так же попал в пятёрку лучших в Новой Зеландии, в топ 10 в Ирландии и Канады и первую двадцатку в Австралии.
