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.
Billie Eilish’s Bad Guy has been named the best-selling global digital single of 2019. The US singer-songwriter’s hit was released last March and has global converted sales of 19.5 million, according to the IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry).
Bad Guy, the fifth single released from Eilish’s chart-topping debut album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, beat popular tracks including Old Town Road by Lil Nas X, and Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber’s I Don’t Care to become the biggest global track of the year.
The song topped the charts in more than 15 countries and was Spotify’s second-most streamed song worldwide last year, and it recently won record of the year and song of the year at the Grammy Awards.
