Music Ed Sheeran

Sheeran is as good as proof as any that sales are a bad measure of quality. It ain't a generational thing either as every decade has mega-popular mainstream trash.

What that piece really indicates is how much the mechanics behind getting a #1 have changed in the last 15 years or so.
The fact that the charts now accept streams as well as sales, when streaming services heavily weigh your random playlist based on an artist's popularity and how much their promoters pay to be bumped up the list just shows how flawed the whole thing is.

Yep. Plus you've also had the trend of artists including albums with merchandise as a way of registering more "sales", to the point where Billboard will be discounting such sales from 2020 on unless they meet certain pricing requirements.
 
Shape of You makes me want to kill myself.

Same, add to that Sing and the one where he met the girl. Unfortunately work have Heart on the radio and they love these songs.

I did quite like some of his more recent stuff surprisingly, such as Beautiful People. I also like Perfect

More bearable and miles better than Justin Bieber.

I love this track if him...

 
I wouldn't mind us being sponsored by a band.

Imagine having Kendrick Lamar or Little Mix on our shirts
 
Is he gonna move on to like square root signs and what not soon?
 
I love Ed. I mean he's no James Corden, but a musical genius for sure.
 
Harmless really, presume he's a fan.

Better than another club having Paddy Power or William Hill plastered across the shirt.
 
Just publicly dissed Bud Light on Crouchy's Euros show. Will it have the Ronaldo effect?
 
I don’t get the hate for him.

He’s a bloke with a guitar, his success should be a great tale for thousands of musicians around the world.

He seems a decent enough lad, and his music ranges from inoffensive to not bad without being annoying; Galway Girl aside.

Why does he strike up such anger?

Cos he’s ginger?

Did he? Wasnt it the beating company sponsor - although he was actually pretty diplomatic.

came across really well on that show. Seems like a good guy.

Not onto his music, and it’s easy enough to ignore.
 
I saw him beside Beckham for the Germany match and all I could think was you bastard, you don't deserve that privilege.

Pure jealously mind.

Rolling stones or Aerosmith on the shirt would be sexy

But the dream sponsor would of course be Wutang clan.

It's because his entire "I was living rough for two years" and "had to break into the industry" story is a load of shit...

- Grandfather is old school friends with Francis Monroe, a executive board member at Atlantic Records (where Ed used to be signed)
- It's well documented that his upbringing was more privileged than he claims thanks to his grandparent's incredible wealth.
- Not to mention that they were really big into blood stone mining.
- Goes without saying that they screwed over a lot of employees, just like Ed does with his co-writers that never get their deserved plaudits.
- Every mention of his real family history gets purged on Google unless you plow through mass lists of sychophantic paff.
- Really, I can't spell it out any further.
