Ellie Goulding has won the Brits Critics' Choice Award 2010. Ellie follows in the footsteps of other PRS for Music members, Adele and Florence and the Machine.
Ellie will pick up her award at the Brits ceremony in February 2010, but before that she’ll perform at the Brit Awards nominations event at London's IndigO2 on 18 January.
Upon hearing she’d won the award, the Herefordshire-born singer said: ‘When I found out, I had a little squeal, I had a little cry, and I had a little fall down! I didn't believe it at first, but now that it's sunk in I am delighted and utterly honoured to have been given this award.’
Delphic were runners-up in the competition chosen by a panel of industry experts, with Marina & The Diamonds in third place.
