Same i like the Bright Lights tracks but Lights was perfect only originally missing Lights (Why it ewas omitted still baffles me ). But yes i would love a folky soundtrack songs like The ending, The Writer all great acoustic numbers so i would indeed enjoy . Also check out her new cover of Alt-J made a band i can't bear bearable

Oh, not a re-release
Although the re-release for Lights really helped her. When she did the re-release of Lights and did the elton john cover, her album went from barely scraping Platinum to becoming double platinum

True shame it didn't boost the Lights single which was a huge hit everywhere but here which has always struck me as odd.

Strange considering Explosions did spend a few days in itunes top 40

Ah well, good to know Halcyon re-entered the top 10...has there been any certifications yet? Surely it has reached Gold by now

Yeah but more days in the lower reaches whereas ACH got high enough to just creep in

And loads of places have said platinum. But reasoning stands she has got to be on 200,000k+ by now as its been a slow but consustent seller since the week before January. But nothing official has been confirmed :/.

I Need Your Love up 9 to #42 on the Billboards well done Calvin and Ellie

I wonder if she plans to release a summer single from the album. In such a case I think Halcyon would be the best candidate. Though I imagine My Blood will be getting a release which is long overdue

I noticed your Ceremonials post of the discussion thread mimi...I have to say Halcyon is one of the few chart albums where I like every song

I've always thought the same - I was obsessed with Lights, to the point where I badgered all my mates to listen to it, yet it didn't seem to do well here. It's definitely my favourite track of hers, I prefer the more uptempo stuff of hers though.

I was a bit disappointed with some of the tracks on Halcyon, though changed my mind when I saw her live - she was amazing

Yeah, her performances of each song really did consolidate my love for Ellie and the album. I went to see her in Liverpool, where did you see her?

I hope so Bad the campaign needs one. For me candidates My Blood, Only You, Atlantis, Halcyon, Joy and I know it was a promo but either with or without Tine Hanging On

And euphie I think the problem was it had been already available for a year that most who wanted it had it Alsi Lights should have been on the original Lights its a perfect closing track

And I love Halcyon it's so Atmospheric an a real leap forward cannot wait to see her live

Ellie has released a video for her cover of Tesselate:

I really like it moody atmospheric and effortlessly cool much like the lady herself

Ellie has a new single out called "Burn" from Halcyon Re-Release out 11 August! Looking forward to hearing it!

Ellie is included in Sky Arts highlights show of last weeks IoW fest. On at 8PM tonight. < Will be recording it!

Well i for one hope it isn't a re-release but who am i kidding. I refuse to buy it and will DL the new single and Youtube rip the rest. I'm sorry Re-releases short change fans and any artist should refuse them or at the very least release them seperately on EP format. Ellie may have been against it but stillit's Bright Lights all over a perfect album diminshed by a bunch of b-sides and add ons.

Anyway just found out Halcyon has sold 281.5k so far in the UK i know it looks low but in the current climate that is a great result even artists like Florence sold about the same last year.

Even by Sunday maybe, 3,000 for a top 30 not hard she sold around 5,000 last week so hopefully it gets certified platinum in the next week or so

I just wish sales were higher as really it should be on about 500,000 by now but alas

Yeah, sadly a couple of years ago it would have managed 500,000 easily, even Lights was in a better selling climate

I know its amazing just how low sales are at the moment. As you said Lights spent less time across 2010 on the charts yet sold just short of 400,000 that year. Halcyon which has statistically done better has sold significantly less. But then on the flipside Explsions non top 10 has probably gone silfer (200,000). so i suppose pros and cons.

yeah, I mean if a re-release does happen (although we don't fully welcome it) it will really help the album to take off and possibly secure a 2x platinum certification depending on this single "Burn". Yeah, Explosion performed much better than Guns and Horses and The Writer, shame Figure 8 didn't keep up the trend
