Ed Sheeran dances with his Eyes Closed to Number 1 on the Official Trending Chart
officialcharts.comEd Sheeran has debuted at Number 1 on the Official Trending Chart with his brand new single, Eyes Closed. The emotional lead track from Ed's forthcoming new album - (Subtract), sees Ed reacting to a turbulent few years in his life, following the death of his best friend, Jamal Edwards, and several health issues experienced by his wife Cherry Seaborn last year.
Despite reports that Subtract, Sheeran's acoustic-led, most personal album yet, would be produced by The National's Aaron Dessner (who helped Taylor Swift create folklore and evermore), Eyes Closed comes courtesy of Swedish super-producers Max Martin (who has just started working with Madonna) and Shellback and Ed's frequent collaborator Fred again...
And it seems that UK audiences are really reacting to Eyes Closed - not only is it the UK's Official Number 1 Trending Song, it's also charging ahead towards a Number 1 debut proper on the Official Singles Chart.
