PERFECT
by ED SHEERAN


Ed Sheeran capped off a pretty impressive 2017 with his fourth UK Number 1 single, Perfect, taken from the singer/songwriter's third studio album ÷.

Following the chart-topping success of Sing and Thinking Out Loud in 2014, and Shape Of You in 2017, Ed went one better with Perfect. While Perfect initially entered the Official Singles Chart at Number 4 in its first week in March, the track proved to have staying power and eventually climbed to Number 1 where it stayed for six weeks, securing the coveted UK Christmas Number 1 2017.

Perfect was helped on its journey to the festive top spot with a buzzy remix, reconstituting Perfect as a duet with Beyoncé (!) and also another version featuring Andrea Bocelli for any classical music fans out there.
