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.
The Official Charts Company is happy to announce today that Harry Styles has become the latest artist to score the relatively rare Official Chart Double.
Harry joins an illustrious group of artists to top both Albums and Singles charts in the UK with his third solo record Harry’s House and blockbuster hit As It Was.
One of the biggest signifiers of an act entering the top of their game and garnering unparalleled mass public support, Harry lands straight in at Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart with Harry’s House with the most explosive opening week of any of his solo albums yet.
Funnily enough, however, this is not the first time Harry has done the double. He actually first achieved the remarkable feat 10 years ago in 2012, with former band One Direction's second album Take Me Home and its chart-topping single Little Things.
