Ellie Goulding
She's fairly new on the pop music scene, but Ellie Goulding is going to rise to fame faster than you can say, "Her Royal Highness Princess William of Wales". Okay, maybe faster.
Prince William and Kate picked Goulding as the only singer to perform at the Buckingham Palace Reception.
Because she's sure to be on everyone's iPod come April 30, here are a few facts about British pop star Ellie Goulding.
She's a Crowd Favorite: Goulding won the BBC Sound of 2010 poll as well as the Critics Choice Awards at the 2010 Brit Awards. So there's all that and, you know, being hand-picked by royalty.
She's Number One: Her debut album, Lights was number one on the UK Albums chart, selling over 380,000 copies in 2010. So, she's not so much "up-and-coming" as she is "already there".
