"Ghost" is the first single from former X-Factor UK contestant Ella Henderson. Co-written and produced by Ryan Tedder, it spent two weeks at #1 in the UK and is still in the Top 10 there over a month later. And now it's coming to the US! It was just released on iTunes and Amazon yesterday and Ella will be performing it on Good Morning America next Wednesday. She's in New York doing promo already this week. No adds date yet. This should be huge IMO though. www.justjaredjr.com/2014/07/30/singer-ella-henderson-brings-ghost-to-usa-will-perform-on-gma-august-6th/

:o Wasn't expecting "Ghost" too soon in the US, but I'm looking forward this.

I love this song, and I can't help but think that this is what "Trouble" should have been like.

It was (and is) really big in UK and it's doing well in other countries it was released. Not winning X factor is not affecting her career at all, that really started in an excelent way.
It's difficult to predict how big hits in UK translate in USA, but it's a good song

Lozzy just gets me. I fucking love this song. Rebecca Ferguson would have also done well with this, I think.

I like that we are having a constant stream of UK acts try to make it stateside. It helps that this song is amazing!

Love this song! and she is really talented [check out some of her acoustic performances], hope she does well.
She performed at 'The Box' in NYC last night and has now flown to LA. I guess she has a number of TV appearances lined up(?)
Surprised they released in the US this quickly with her album Chapter One out September 22nd and a 2nd single before that, but good luck!

I love this song!!!!
This is heading to the U.S. much faster than I thought....
I'm going to start looking at the U.K. charts more commonly now, I don't want to be 6 months behind on songs....

Like the song and it'll be interesring to see how it does in the US. It's done moderately well outside the UK, so hope it can be a decent sized hit in the US.

Back up to #5 on UK iTunes and heading for an 8th week in The Top 5 of the official chart.
Has this had any plays on US radio? any add date or other info?!

I like the intro more than the kind of dancey track it turns into, but it's still good. :)

Ghost is currently #172 on US iTunes and #53 on pop.
Interesting to see how she goes after the Good Morning America performance tomorrow!

Hope this smashes. I wish she stopped doing the yodel thing at the end of all her phrases though. Most obvious here:

Yeah, this is going to be huge in America. Reminds me of a mix of Adele, Xtina, and Emeli. It's sad that Emeli never really caught on in America, but I think Ella will do much better, considering their style is what Sam Smith's doing on the boys' side.
There's plenty of big British breakouts happening for this year. We've got Sam Smith, Charli XCX, and now Ella looks to be big. I see The Vamps possibly taking off soon if they don't get too stuck in 5SOS's shadow, and possibly George Ezra later this year.
