oh wow the disparity is just so astounding
![]() Ellie may have sold a little less but in terms of talent and the quality of the albums Ellie will be leagues ahead of Cher for a long while yet

If people just put their preconceptions of Cher Lloyd to one side, they'd probably realise that Sticks + Stones is a brilliant pop album. The Guardian wrote a nice piece on it here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2012...2012-shortlist

It's a nice debut pop album, yes, but Halcyon is streets ahead in every sense. |

That's Queen Cher Lloyd for you
![]() But seriously Sticks + Stones is such a great pop album with no fillers that most people will be able to relate to. I only listened to about the first 5 or so tracks on Ellie Goulding's new album but I really didn't like it, which is a shame because I bought her amazing debut album. |

Cher sales are very impressive since 90% of the album was already on web for a year..

Ellie selling 30k is amazing without a hit single from that album as of yet. The Lights hype carried that record. I did wonder how it would sell. props to her. Lights deserved to smash. I hope she gets a hit of Halcyon.

Funny how no one has mentioned Cher's second week sales in US
Drops to No 36 and just over 11K. |

Cher & Ellie have done pretty well and in line with others of a similar ilk, nothing to indicate imminent world domination but enough of a strong fanbase to carve out decent careers now lets quit with the comparisons and all that

I doubt Cher would even know how to pronounce the name of Ellie's album. Or what it means

![]() Cher and Ellie are barely comparable anyway. Both satisfy enormously different markets (save perhaps the cross-over of teenyboppers). I like Cher Lloyd's 'Want U Back' more than I like the album or her as a person. Both are quite evidently shit. Ellie's new album is boring but 'Anything Could Happen' is still quite lovely. I like how she's much more vocally diverse and doesn't resort to wailing to create something emotive. |

Love Ellie's new album, so glad it has had success in the US. I think it will fare better in the long term in comparison to Cher Lloyd's

And can i just say to the OP there is a 1K copy difference but in terms of overall US sales Ellie is still ahead as Lights has sold well over 2M by now as opposed to Cher's 1M for want u back.

The headline is really that they've both gone from moderate UK success to building a bit of momentum Stateside. They've sold a good number of singles, not so many albums (that's the way of it these days) and now it's all about the next singles.

Although Lights has sold like 3 million and Want U Back is only just over a million?

This is Ellie's 2nd album, ala the sophmore slump. Compare when Cher is on hers.
