The Best of Ed Sheeran

Since Ed Sheeran has recently brought out two new incredible singles after a year out of the lime light it seems only fitting we create a playlist full of Ed's best bits.

Little Bird

Little Bird was released on his critically acclaimed EP Loose Change in 2010. The EP was dropped a month after Sheeran posted a video on the website SB.TV that lead to the rapper Example asking him to join him on his tour.

The A Team

Originally, The A Team was released on Loose Change, but it was later used as the lead single for his first studio album +. It became the one of the tenth best-selling singles in 2011 with over 800,000 sold.

Lego House

The video for this single starred the Harry Potter actor Rupert Grint, who played an obsessive fan that stalks Sheeran. The video also has a Lego version which you can find on YouTube.

You Need Me, I Don't Need You

Sheeran announced this song as the second single from his album + while headlining the BBC Introducing Tent at Glastonbury Festival 2011. It peaked at number four in the UK charts making making it another big success for him.

Sing

Sing became Sheeran's first number one single in the UK. It sold 123,000 copies and has been streamed over 482,000 times on Soundcloud. The music video also received a lot of praise and even won Best Male Video and the MTV Video Music Awards.

Don't

Initially planned as Sheeran's lead song for his second studio album X, but sadly it missed out to Sing. It peaked at number eight in the UK singles charts August 2014 and became Sheeran's first top ten single in the US.

Thinking Out Loud

Thinking Out Loud spent 19 weeks in the UK singles charts before rocketing up to the top spot. Despite losing it's place at number one it stayed in the UK Top 40 for a year, which made it the first single to do this.

Castle On The Hill and Shape Of You

After a year long hiatus, Sheeran finally released Castle On The Hill and Shape Of You on 6 January 2017. The singles are off his upcoming album ÷ which is due for release on 3 March 2017. Both singles took the top two spots in the UK Top 40.
