Ellie Goulding scores her second No.1 album with 'Halcyon'

2013 was a huge year for Ellie Goulding, and 2014 already looks to be going one better as Ellie claims her second UK No.1 album with 'Halcyon'.

'Halcyon' may have taken a steady 65 weeks to reach the summit of the Official Albums Chart, but the summit it has reached! Featuring the Top 40 singles 'Anything Could Happen', 'Figure 8', 'Explosions', 'How Long Will I Love You', and her first ever No.1 hit on these shores, 'Burn'.

Originally released in October 2012, the follow-up to her chart-topping debut album, 'Lights', was initially kept off the top spot only by Mumford & Sons’ 'Babel'. A deluxe edition of the album, re-titled 'Halcyon Days', was released last August sending it back into the Top 5.

'Halcyon' has now sold nearly 665,000 copies in the UK to date.

Gary Barlow holds firm at No.2 today with 'Since I Saw You Last', while Beyoncé climbs one place to No.3 with her self-titled latest album.

This week’s Top 5 is completed by Robbie Williams’ 'Swings Both Ways' (No.4) and John Newman’s 'Tribute', which climbs 11 places to No.5 today (January 5).
