Since English pop singer and songwriter Ellie Goulding’s 2010 studio album "Lights," she has topped the UK Albums Chart and peaked at number two on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 charts. After her second studio album "Halcyon" was released, she won the award for British Female Solo Artist at the 2014 Brit Awards, and was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2015 for Best Pop Solo Performance for her single "Love Me Like You Do."
