Diehard fans were beginning to wonder if they would hear anything from Ed Sheeran ever until he recently released his single “Thinking Out Loud” staying on the charts top 40 for nineteen weeks before reaching number one and beating the catchy song “Uptown Funk” and mellow single “See you again”. This is his second single, the first being “Don’t,” which was at number one in six months.

Sheeran has spent three years working on this album and has been writing nonstop to make it something he can be proud of. “Thinking Out Loud” is a love song that people embrace because it is about eternal love. Sheeran writes,  “Darling I will be loving you till we’re seventy; Baby my heart can still fall as hard at twenty three.” “Don’t” is a song about heartbreak where people can sing along, throwing their hands in the air and secretly planning their revenge on their exes.  

In thirty-nine weeks Sheeran sold two million copies in the U.K. He is the fifth artist to achieve this feat this decade. As well, he sells out venues in under an hour. This album has readied Sheeran for his next move.
