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 is sharing his love for Pokémon with the world. The longtime fan worked with The Pokémon Company for the new theme song for their upcoming “Pokémon Scarlet” and “Pokémon Violet” games.
Fans can watch the new music video for “Celestial,” which features animated “sketch”-themed art of beloved Pokémon helping Sheeran as he goes about a regular day in his life.
The style of animations is inspired by drawings of Pokémon that the musician made as a child.
