Edward Christopher Sheeran, MBE (born 17 February 1991) is an English singer-songwriter. In early 2011, Sheeran independently released the extended play, No. 5 Collaborations Project. After signing with Asylum Records, his debut album, + (pronounced "plus"), was released in September 2011. It topped the UK and Australian charts, reached number five in the US, and has since been certified eight-times platinum in the UK.
The album contains the single "The A Team", which earned him the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. In 2012, Sheeran won the Brit Awards for Best British Male Solo Artist and British Breakthrough Act. "The A Team" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2013 Grammy Awards, where he performed the song with Elton John.
BRITISH artists have claimed the top ten places in the annual UK singles chart for the first time. Harry Styles led the way in 2022 with his hit As It Was.
Ed Sheeran’s Bad Habits was at No 2 and his Peru collaboration with Fireboy DML claimed third spot, the Official Charts Company revealed.
It was the first all-Brits annual top ten since official charts began more than 50 years ago. Leon Neville, of UK record labels association the BPI, hailed the feat at a time when “streaming has created un-precedented competition from every corner of the globe”.
He added: “This outstanding achievement is a testament to the rich music talent that continues to emerge from the UK’s nations, fuelled by the passion, investment and skills of UK record labels.” READ MORE ON HARRY STYLESHIJACK HORROR Harry Styles' tour truck hijacked by gunmen on Brazil's 'highway to hell'DON'T WORRY HARRY Harry Styles pours heart out to Kendall Jenner after Olivia Wilde split Kate Bush re-entered the charts last year with Running Up That Hill — which was first released in 1985.
