VICTORIA’S SECRET ANNOUNCES PERFORMANCE BY ELLIE GOULDING AT THE 2015 VICTORIA’S SECRET FASHION SHOW
Victoria’s Secret is pleased to announce that Universal Music megastar Ellie Goulding will be joining Selena Gomez and The Weeknd at the 2015 THE VICTORIA’S SECRET FASHION SHOW, to be broadcast Tuesday, Dec. 8 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
Victoria’s Secret Angels Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Behati Prinsloo, Candice Swanepoel and Lily Aldridge, as well as newest Angels Elsa Hosk, Jac Jagaciak, Jasmine Tookes, Kate Grigorieva, Lais Ribeiro, Martha Hunt, Romee Strijd, Sara Sampaio, Stella Maxwell, Taylor Hill and Victoria’s Secret PINK model Rachel Hilbert, will be a part of the show that merges fashion, fantasy and entertainment into a runway spectacle. The show, seen in more than 180 countries, will include pink carpet interviews, model profiles, a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the world’s most celebrated fashion show and the multi-million dollar Fantasy Bra.
Previously announced appearance by Rihanna has been canceled.
British singer and songwriter Ellie Goulding has sold over six million albums and 27 million singles worldwide. She’s had six consecutive platinum singles: “Lights,” “Anything Could Happen,” “I Need Your Love,” “Burn,” “Outside” and “Love Me Like You Do” (which went to #1 on the iTunes chart in over 70 countries and broke the record for most streamed song in one week on Spotify), and has racked up over one billion plays on both YouTube and Spotify. Goulding’s third album, Delirium, was just released on November 6 and her 2016 European and US tours are already one of the hottest tickets. Goulding has performed at the world’s biggest festivals, including Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Glastonbury, and Outside Lands, but this is her first time rocking the Victoria’s Secret runway.
On Selena Gomez’s latest album debut, the multi-platinum singer redefines her role as a pop artist and offers her most complex and compelling album so far. Revival finds the 23-year-old co-writing with A$AP Rocky. The lead single, “Good for You,” a snap-beat-driven slow-burner debuted at #1 on Billboard’s digital songs chart, spent three consecutive weeks at #1 at Top 40 radio and landed on Rolling Stone’s list of the “25 Best Songs of 2015 So Far.” Revival is the follow-up to 2013’s Stars Dance, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s album chart and spawned the triple-platinum #1 hit “Come and Get It.” Revival marks the latest chapter in a career that’s brought Gomez from starring in her own Disney Channel show at age 15 to taking a central role in Harmony Korine’s 2012 cult film classic “Spring Breakers,” all while selling more than 22 million singles worldwide. The second single off the album, “Same Old Love,” is getting rave reviews. Recently, Gomez announced that she will embark on her worldwide “Revival Tour” in 2016.
“The Weeknd,” a Grammy Award®-nominated, multi-platinum alternative R&B artist, continues a streak of smashing records. His critically acclaimed gold-certified third full-length album Beauty Behind the Madness sold more than 412,000 album equivalents upon release, held #1 on the Billboard Top 200 for three consecutive weeks, making for the longest run at #1 on the chart this year, and debuted at #1 on the Apple Music overall albums chart in more than 70 countries and Top 10 in nearly 100. The album is the first to surpass 100 million global audio streams, with over 80 million plays from Spotify, breaking their U.S. and global record for most streams in a single week. Prior to release, Beauty Behind the Madness sold more than 1 million album equivalents worldwide, with four of the tracks from the album reaching platinum or multi-platinum status. This fall, “The Weeknd” will support the release of Beauty Behind the Madness with The Madness Fall Tour.
