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 sails into a tenth week at Number 1 with Bad Habits, while Kanye West scores three new entries with tracks from his Number 1 album Donda.
With over 8.8 million streams in the UK this week and leading on digital downloads, Bad Habits finishes 16,000 chart sales ahead of Number 2, Stay by The Kid Laroi & Justin Bieber.
Bad Habits is now the longest-reigning Number 1 single in the UK since Dance Monkey by Tones & I, which spent 11 consecutive weeks at Number 1 between October-December 2019.
The track now matches the Number 1 reigns of Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You, Rihanna’s Umbrella ft. Jay Z, and 1953 hit Cara Mia by David Whitfield.
