Ellie Goulding has become the latest UK act to make the charts in the United States - with a song she released almost a year ago.

Her single Lights is at number five six months after it re-entered the American chart.

The track, which features on her debut EP An Introduction To Ellie Goulding, has been downloaded more than 1.9 million times, despite only reaching number 49 in the UK charts.
