It's my understanding that she sang only one song - "Your Song"
In an interview post-wedding she mentioned that she sang a number of songs that she doesn't even remember how many.

Here's the link!

I concur with Cactuar, having read this from Digital Spy

Ellie Goulding has revealed that it was an "amazing honour" to perform at the royal wedding reception.

The singer was personally invited to play at the party by Prince William and Kate Middleton, who are said to be big fans of her music.

Speaking of the event, Goulding told the News of the World: "It was an amazing honour to be asked to perform by Kate and William. It's a night I will never forget."

Goulding performed covers such as The Killers' 'Mr Brightside' and Stevie Wonder's 'Superstition', as well as a selection of her own songs - including Lights, The Writer and her cover of Elton John's 'Your Song'.

A source said: "It was a clear yet subtle nod to Princess Diana because she loved that song and William knew that. Elton is also very important to William because of his role at Diana's funeral.

"Ellie's performance was spectacular and even Prince Charles and Camilla ended up slow-dancing on the floor before they bailed out and left it to the young ones.

"Kate wanted to make sure there were songs everyone would get up and dance to. She and Wills are huge fans of Ellie so they were most excited by her original songs and danced to most of them. Kate sung along to every word of her last song 'Starry Eyed'."

She performed Lights and Your Song last night on Saturday Night Live.

The album is #8 on iTunes USA, which is absolutely amazing. Lights (song) is on #70 and Your Song at #192.

I've heard about the album being as high up as 4!

Excellent, her Lights performance was so much better than the UK one (ones?) - she hit the actual notes and she killed it :D Great for her!

Is the album expected to hit the Top 10 on BB200 this week?
When do we find out.

Btw I thought the Lights performance on SNL was weak - is that her best live performance? :o

Not so disappointed I missed out on seeing her then!

#82 this week in US (BB200). I don't expect this to be top 10 in US at all...

Oops - I thought it went top 10 on US iTunes and was rising - but I didn't follow it. Did it reach #82 taking into account the week when it was Top 10 on iTunes?

^yeap. But I think her appearance in iTunes top 10 started after the weekend so might rise this week on BB200.

I think the correlation of being top 10 on iTunes and doing well in the actual album chart is pretty slim sadly :(

Digital sales account for a very small percentage of total sales, so even being at #1 on the iTunes chart doesn't guarantee a Top 20 spot. :(

That's pretty good seems as she isn't promoting or touring at the moment. It should rise when she goes back out there in July

It's currently #44 on US iTunes Albums chart! Why, I haven't seen this in the top 100 in a while. Did she do promo?

She should do! Dunno why she didn't reach as high regions of the charts as (for example) Jessie J did. Ellie is far better than Jessie is.

She reached the top 10 didn't she? I remember seeing it around the top 10 and so I decided to listen to her, now I have the album!
