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 sits on the throne of the Official Irish Singles Chart for a second week with Bad Habits. Ed’s 43rd Top 50 hit and seventh Number 1 increased its chart sales by almost 50% week-on-week to comfortably secure another seven days on top, finishing over 4,000 units ahead of Olivia Rodrigo at Number 2 with Good 4 U.
Keeping with Olivia, her fifth Top 10 single Favorite Crime lifts four to a new peak position of Number 8. This week’s highest climber ascending 25 places to Number 9 is Black Magic by Dutch producer Jonasu, which enters the Top 10 for the first time following its continued popularity on TikTok and placement on an episode of Love Island on Virgin Media One this week.
