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.
Ed Sheeran and Elton John’s Merry Christmas enters its second week at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart today, and its sights seem set on next week’s Official Christmas Number 1 - the biggest and most exciting chart battle of the year.
With a rework of the song by LadBaby - titled Sausage Rolls For Everyone - released today, the track features both Ed and Elton, meaning the pair double their chances of clinching a taste of Christmas Number 1 victory, either in their own right or on LadBaby’s sausage roll-themed recreation.
For LadBaby, it would be their fourth consecutive Christmas chart-topper, and break a long-held Official Charts record (the YouTube duo currently tie The Beatles and Spice Girls with three apiece).
