Ella Henderson - 'Chapter One' out 9/22! / 'Ghost' UK #1!

[circadian]

She was a finalist on the ninth series (2012) of The X Factor in UK, and finished sixth place.

She's currently signed to Syco and is due to release her debut album, Chapter One, this autumn. The first single is called Ghost and was co-written with Ryan Tedder.





I LOVE her. She has an incredible voice. Her single is really good too, it's like the lovechild of Leona's Bleeding Love and John Newman's Love Me Again. I really hope she find success cause she's one of the best voices I've ever seen come out of the X Factor. It also seems that her team is confident on her eventual success, I feel they are handling her debut release really carefully.

Here are some of my favorite performances from her:

Believe (Cher):

I really, really like 'Ghost'. It has such a weird, interesting structure and vibe to it.

I still can't believe she only placed sixth. 'Believe' was out of this world good.

Thanks for posting! I am really looking forward to her album.

[horchata]

lol such a lame album title, but yeah this will smash in the UK. Her voice per usual sounds great, but the production is a highlight as well. I'll definitely be checking out her album when it's released.

[MRT]

She's my favorite contestant during that season and I'm still pissed that both her and James Arthur are bottom two that week :'(.

This song still have to grow on me but I hope she had a great success.

[GHOST]

Her single is number 1 on UK iTunes with a pretty hefty lead over number 2. :)

[Lozzy]

Ghost sold 132k at #1 in the UK, the fourth highest opening of 2014 so far behind Rather Be, Timber and Hideaway.

And she has an album pre-order up for September 22 in the UK:

[EPG]

I'd prefer the "Ghost" single cover as the official album cover, but I'm sure the album is going to be amazing!

[Lozzy]

Ghost spends a 2nd week at #1 in the UK. The last song to have multiple consecutive weeks at #1 was Rather Be in January/February.

Ella is amazing! I have been listening to 'Ghost', 'Yours', and 'Glow' nonstop. I really hope she finds success over here in the States.

[hilbertkc]

I love the 2 singles and the released tracks from the album! Can't wait for the album to drop!

The album is really good. Pieces or Give Your Heart Away would be great singles. The only song I was not impressed with was Yours as it sounds so much better live than the album version.

[Lahey's Lucky Star]

"Glow" seems set for top 10 in the UK this week.

Landed at number 7 officially!

The album was just released and within 30 minutes it's #1 and #8 on UK iTunes! 

[GHOST]

Looks to be set to debut at number 1 in the UK... She's outselling her nearest rival, Jessie J, almsot 3 to 1.

[Mikey]

Pieces and mirror man are amazing !!

Love the album !

[Juan Carlos]

As expected, Chapter One debuts atop in the UK!

From the Official Charts:

The X Factor alum Ella Henderson has taken this week's Official Albums Chart Number 1 title with her debut release Chapter One.

Chapter One, which features Official Singles Chart Number 1 "Ghost", as well as Top 10 follow up "Glow", finishes the week over 16,000 copies ahead of its nearest rival, as well as becoming the second fastest-selling female debut chart-topper of 2014 behind Sam Bailey's Power Of Love.

"To be a part of the music industry as a whole is something I'm learning to embrace, just seeing my name up there with other artists I admire and look up to is so surreal in itself," Ella told OfficialCharts.com, "being Number 1 with my very first album is where a dream has met reality- it's a moment in time I will never forget."

Can't wait for it to be released in January here. I need a physical copy so I can play the hell out of Mirror Man, Pieces, The First Time and Hard Work. The vocals on the album are AMAZING! The last minute of Hard Work makes me melt.

[Kurt]

Amazon lists a January 13 US release - "Yours" out 12/15 and "Mirror Man" out 12/30 as instant grat singles.

[SHOOTER]

I really like Ghost so I will have to check the rest of this project out.

[musicbuff78]

I really liked Ghost too and I downloaded this a while back. I multitasked while I listened to it and nothing else really jumped out at me to be honest. Usually, good material can stop me no matter what I'm doing. This could end up being more of a grower and something I have to listen to more than once.

[SHOOTER]

Give Your Heart Away has me SOLD!

[Linnethia Monique]

Currently jamming to Rockets.

[Live Your Life]

I hope the US gets "Glow" next. "Yours" is boring.
