Remember when Under The Sheets was released in the UK? That's when I became hooked. :D I also adored her version of "Black & Gold" back in the day.

I wonder if a UK re-release is possible with the tremendous U.S. success. It only reached #49 in 2011. :-?

One of the best songs of the year so far. 8-)

Is Ellie very popular in the US/UK by the way? I had never heard of her until they played this on the radio here two weeks ago. :oops:

Lights was released last year haha and she is just budding in the US but I am pretty sure in the UK she is big, or at least borderline big. Lights is her second single in the US but first hit (I am pretty sure Starry Eyed was released before Lights..)

Her debut Lights was released long ago int he UK haha and had multiple hits with Starry Eyed and Your Song reaching top 10 and I think Guns and Horses and The Writer reached top 20 or close to top 20... Her debut did well in the UK :D

I find it funny how it only peaked at #49 in the UK while in the US, it's been at #5 for two weeks. :lol:

It's ironic how one of her worst charting songs in the UK become her biggest hit in the USA... maybe Alexandra Burke will score a Hot 100 number one with Let It Go! 8-) :lol:

I heard a version earlier where the beat didn't come in until the first chorus, but in mine it comes in as soon as she starts singing. It sounded so much better!

It's strange to see this old song doing so well - it's charting for 7 months already and debuted more than a year ago :o .

I suppose she's got no chances to score #1 now as she's far behind Call Me Maybe on downloads but it's still fantastic result!
