Delirium is the third studio album by English singer and songwriter Ellie Goulding, released on 6 November 2015, through Polydor Records. The album's lead single, "On My Mind", was released on 17 September 2015.[2][3]

Background

Goulding has stated that the sound of the album is more pop oriented than her previous releases. Speaking in an interview, she said: "A part of me views this album as an experiment, to make a big pop album; I made a conscious decision that I wanted it to be on another level".[4]

Singles

"On My Mind" was released as the album's lead single on 17 September 2015. The song received positive reviews and performed well commercially, reaching the top ten in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom and number 15 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Promotional singles

The tracks "Something in the Way You Move", "Lost and Found", and "Army" premiered ahead of Delirium as promotional singles on 9, 23, and 30 October 2015, respectively, and were made available for download upon pre-ordering the album through digital outlets.[5][6][7]

Other songs

The standard edition of the album includes Goulding's global hit "Love Me like You Do", which was originally released as a single from the soundtrack to the film Fifty Shades of Grey. The deluxe edition also includes Goulding's collaboration with Scottish DJ Calvin Harris, "Outside", released as a single from his 2014 album Motion. During the week before the album's release, several radio stations premiered different tracks from the album. "Don't Panic" was the first one to be premiered. It debuted at BBC Radio 2 on 31 October 2015.[8] "Keep On Dancin" premiered at BBC Radio 1 on 2 November 2015.[9]

Tour

Goulding's 31-date European leg will run through from 21 January to 25 March 2016. The 39-date North American leg will run from 1 April to 21 June 2016.[10]

So far, Delirium has received positive reviews from most music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a "weighted average" rating out of 100 from selected independent ratings and reviews from mainstream critics, the album received a Metascore of 68, based on 11 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews."[12]

Michael Cragg of The Observer praised the album "Delirium goes straight for the pop jugular, unleashing a relentless barrage of bangers that almost always hit the spot." However, Jamieson Cox of The Verge critiqued, stating that "Goulding is getting lost in these capable, ruthlessly catchy songs. Almost anything on Delirium could be a hit; only a few of these songs are Ellie Goulding hits."

Commercial performance

Delirium debuted at number three on the UK Albums Chart, and at number one on the UK Download Album Chart selling 38,429 copies in its first week, Goulding's best first week sale of her career so far.[18][19] In Australia, Delirium charted at number three, becoming her second album to land within the Top 10 and her highest charting album in the country.[20]

In the US, the album debuted at number three with 61,000 units (42,000 in pure album sales), giving Goulding her highest charting album yet.[21]
