Ellie Campbell is a British singer who gained attention in the late 1990s. Her career began after winning a talent contest on GMTV. Campbell released her debut single "Sweet Lies" in March 1999, which reached Number 42 on the UK Singles Chart. Later that year, she followed up with "So Many Ways", her most successful single, peaking at Number 26. Campbell's debut album, Ellie, was released in June 2001 under the label Jive. Despite not charting in the UK, it reached Number 192 in Australia. Notable singles from this period include "Don't Want You Back", which peaked at Number 50 in January 2001, and a cover of Dee Dee Warwick's "You're No Good" that was released as a single in the United States but did not chart. While Campbell was enjoying her chart success, Britney Spears emerged onto the music scene, leading to media comparisons between the two. In Australia, "Don't Want You Back" was released as her debut single, reaching Number 44 and staying in the charts for five weeks.
