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.
It’s another Miracle on the Official Singles Chart, as Calvin Harris & Ellie Goulding settle in for a fifth week at Number 1.
Miracle now ranks as Ellie’s longest-running UK Number 1 single, overtaking 2015 hit Love Me Like You Do, which had a run of four weeks.
The trance anthem once again reaches the summit as the most-streamed track of the week in the country, with 5.1 million UK streams.
