Ellie Goulding has many UK chart achievements under her belt, and she just added one more to the mix. She managed to achieve the UK chart double with her latest album Higher Than Heaven and her recent collaboration with Calvin Harris “Miracle”.
Higher Than Heaven hit No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart during its debut week with 11,818 album-equivalent units earned. Despite having the lowest week among all of Goulding’s albums on the chart, this record still managed to set several notable milestones.
Higher Than Heaven joins Lights, Halcyon, and Brightest Blue as Goulding’s fourth album to top the charts in the UK. She’s only the second British female artist after Adele to hit No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart with four different albums.
Higher Than Heaven also helped Goulding achieve her first career chart double. She returned to no. 1 on the UK Singles Chart with “Miracle”, her third collaboration with Calvin Harris, following the success of “I Need Your Love” and “Outside”.
Higher Than Heaven was released via Polydor Records on April 7, and it includes singles “Easy Lover”, “Let It Die” and “Like a Saviour”. Despite being Goulding’s highest-charting song right now, “Miracle” isn’t one of the songs featured on this album.
