Ellie Goulding's Higher Than Heaven debuts at #125 on Billboard 200 with 10k

I really don't understand the choice to release half the album after multiple delays before it was even released. Why would it chart highly with all that is going against it for reaching impressive numbers?

This is so sad bc it’s a fantastic album. With proper promo, timing, and a good team, this album could’ve been her biggest era

i absolutey LOVE LOVE LOVE this album

This is disheartening for sure. As a US-based fan, surely I was hoping for a higher chart position. The album is AMAZING. It's so full of bops. I have been listening to it pretty much non-stop on repeat all week. I'm finding myself showing high favoritism for 13 of the 16 songs - that's how good it is to me! 

I'm not really sure what happened with Ellie's success, especially since some of her singles have high streaming numbers. I saw her live for the first and only time on her 2016 tour and have been chomping at the bit for her to come back to the US, though with these numbers, I doubt she'll be touring the US anytime soon. 

Please, if you're into dance pop and just pure fun, give this album a listen - it's so addictive!

I haven't yet but I've heard others say the same thing. 

Koz (Dua Lipa/Future Nostalgia) did a lot of production on here so I have high hopes!!

Many people, including myself, view this as her Future Nostalgia. If she was a bigger name in the states and had the proper rollout and label support, it would have absolutely demolished.

I found myself thinking that it reminds me of Future Nostalgia, but I enjoy it a lot more.

Ellie already had enough hits and a name to be a big presence in the states. Her 50 Shades singles and Delirium had so many hits. 
 

Her 5 year hiatus and Brightest Blue being a bore ruined interest in her. She's like Bebe and Katy where even though they are successful singles artists, they don't have a core fanbase that supports them as a whole. Just the hits.

damn what the fvck ellie…

this album will be out of the top 50 in the second week https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/albums-chart-update/

Agreed. That got #1 with astronomically low sales. By week 2 it will drop into oblivion. That #1 means nothing, let’s be real.
