ED SHEERAN

Ed Sheeran (born February 17 1991) has become one of the most popular acts in UK chart history - and one that actually helped re-write chart rules. In 2017, all 16 tracks of his album Divide debuted inside the Top 40, necessitating a change that entries in the chart are now limited to three per lead artist.

Ed’s debut appearance on the Official Singles Chart came in June 2011 with his breakthrough hit A Team, which peaked at Number 3. Three years later in June 2014 he went on to bag his first Number 1 single with Sing, featuring Pharrell Williams. 

In December 2019 the Official Charts Company crowned Ed as the Official Number 1 Artist Of The Decade 2010-2019. 2021 was another particularly big year for Ed, who not only scored his fifth UK Number 1 album with = (Equals) but four Number 1 singles too - Bad Habits, Shivers, Merry Christmas with Elton John, and Sausage Rolls For Everyone with Ladbaby.

I think the emphasis should be on ' single charts ' . I bet if you
discount all the weeks album tracks spent on the charts he' d be nowhere near.

Counting the weeks from every single from an Ed Sheeran specific album, Ed Sheeran has still beaten Elvis's record by 113 weeks.

This wnkr has destroyed my beautiful chart. Also, the OCC has aided him with its draconian reconstruction of the top 100 along record company streaming lines. There is totally amazing music that struggles to make the top 100 because the digital market is so rigged to exclude the artists who make it. Please sort this out, OCC. Music is for everyone. Music is made for everyone. I always loved the charts but now I feel bereaved. Charts need to reflect everything. Downloads yes. But cut out the streaming. Please.

You said that you liked Ed Sheeran (with your favourite song being “Thinking Out Loud”, like you said in a previous comment), yet you’re calling him a wa**er and saying he “ruined” the chart. Grow up and stop whinging.

As Ed is credited for Peru, will the original without Ed still count towards the charting version?

The one Sheeran track I really like is Thinking Out Loud. It's a proper tune. A truly great song.

A few years back we arrived in our hotel in Leeds and we saw a lot of commotion. Asking what was happening, we were told that an Ed Sheeran concert was playing in Leeds. We did not hear of the name before, but yes, now he is one of our favs. Such a succcessful singer.
