Cherrytree/Interscope recording artist Ellie Goulding returns stateside this summer for her second headline tour in support of her critically acclaimed solo debut LIGHTS. Aptly named, “THE LIGHTS TOUR” begins July 23 in Atlanta and wraps in late August. “I am really excited about the next tour,” says Ellie. “This time we are ready; we are better prepared. Every city brought something new and I learned a lot playing to different crowds. It is a learning curve. America get ready — we’re coming and it’s going to be huge!”

The winner of the coveted 2011 Brit Awards Critics’ Choice award, handed out to one of the brightest new talents in the UK, has been announced today.

Elsewhere, Florence & The Machine and Paolo Nutini maintain their stays in the top 10, while The Courteeners second album ‘Falcon’ has dropped out of the top 20 in it’s second week. London-based rapper Tinie Tempah tops the Singles Chart this week.
