This girl needs to be big in the US. They should promote her more here! I can see Lights becoming a big hit here!

Re-enters at 127 in the US.

Thanks so much! I guess 51k isn't really bad for a relatively new and unknown artist i the US. If this ever explodes here I'll be happy to know I was one of those 51k who had it before it did! :lol:

It's not bad at all considering it's only of the back of a few promo appeareances and a little tour. I think that she could really sell if just one of her songs blows up, kind of like how Florence & the Machine have sold 700k and are still in the charts, mostly of the back of 'Dog Days Are Over'.
By comparison, Jessie J, with a much bigger promotional push, and a platinum-selling, top 25 hit, has only sold 99k so far.

Wow only 99k for JJ

I thought it would be around 150kish to 200k considering Price Tag! Anyway, yes one song here! Lights was perfect put it hasn't done much :-?

The chorus would just blow US by storm! :lol:

We need her music here!

by **cristy** » Thu Jul 21, 2011 2:17 pm

They really should've pushed 'Lights' (the song), especially after how well it sold just after being performed once!!!
It seems she's still touring the US, maybe it'll help her sales, it probably won't do much of a difference seeing as she's not playing large venues (mostly venues with capacities ranging from 1000 to 3000) but she's also doing a few festivals including Loolapalooza and she has an acoustic performance and album signing at Best Buy at the end of the month.
Then she's going back to the UK in mid-august for the V Festival.
Hopefully she won't drop out of the top 200.

Decided to finally pick this album after listening to her music online for months now. Overall it is a great album. I love her voice. I hope "Starry Eye" is a smash here in the US.

Me too but she released it here lonng time ago (In February I think) I hope the re release it and push it! The video (US version) should help a bit to bring awareness. She's all over magazines here about being the one to look out for!

I wish they didn't re-release this. The awesome tracks on "Bright Lights" were wasted. I wish she just included them on her next album so she could have released some of them as singles.

I prefer the songs on the standard edition over the ones on Bright Lights.

And :evil:

at Wish I Stayed not being a single!

Lissie, Ellie & Taylor Momsen at Lollapalooza

by **swiftie13** » Mon Aug 08, 2011 8:51 pm

OMG I love Lissie and Ellie! Would never guess they'd take a picture together!

Cool! Love that song! I really hope they both somehow get better known!

There's an awful lot of blonde in that picture :lol:

Well, the album left the top 200 with just above 50k sold quite a while back, but 'Lights' finally re-enters this week at #170 and we're able to see how much it sold in the meantime.

2 170 * GOULDING*ELLIE LIGHTS 2856 54 1850 127672

127k copies !!!

That's amazing.

I'd like if it stays around the lower part of the chart for quite some time and eventually goes Gold someday showing that an album can reach this without going top 10 8-)

selling 2K every week, it's like 200 more weeks to reach this, you mean in 4 years :lol:

by **Timmy94** » Sat Mar 31, 2012 1:28 pm

Well it wouldn't be the first album to do so and it would be a side blow to all the albums which debut in the top 10 but even fail get a total of 300k+ :lol:

Any reason why this is randomally #28 on Australian iTunes?? A new peak two years after release
