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.
Former Little Mix member Jesy Nelson claims the highest new entry on this week’s Official Irish Singles Chart as her debut track Boyz opens at Number 16.
Nelson’s first solo single, which samples Diddy’s 2001 hit Bad Boy For Life, is one of three brand-new entries in this week’s Top 50.
Ed Sheeran’s Shivers holds at Number 1 for a fifth week, continuing to fend off strong competition from Elton John & Dua Lipa’s Cold Heart (Pnau Remix) (2).
It remains very close between the two, with Shivers being the most-streamed song of the week and Cold Heart being the most downloaded.
