This article has been imported from chorus.fm for discussion. All of the forum rules still apply. Ed Sheeran is once again at the top of the charts this week: A step below Sheeran on the new Billboard 200 is Metallica’s Hardwired… To Self-Destruct, which holds at No. 2 with 102,000 units (up 25 percent) and 100,000 in traditional album sales (up 26 percent). The set continues to profit largely from a concert ticket/album bundle sale redemption promotion with the act’s stadium tour that went on sale on Feb. 17. Expand - View Original
LOL this was my exact thought. I guess the people who attend his sold out arena shows are just pretending to like him.
His 3 albums are also in the top 6 of the album charts. It's like the ENTIRE country has forgotten that other artists exist!
With Drakes streaming success I do wonder if between they'll take up about 16 songs of this weeks top 20. Also, Galway Girl in particular is really bad.
I have no doubt that we won't see much variety in next weeks chart And yeah...Galway Girl seems to have been written after 1 visit to an Irish pub + 2 pints of Guinness. Not his finest moment...but it seems like a LOT of people have been losing their shit over it!
This guy has been bang-average from day one, but he's def become the guy who it's cool to hate on. Some of his criticism is so unbelievably OTT that it's become almost parody-esque.
In the Netherlands, only one of the 15 biggest songs on Spotify right now is by Ed Sheeran, the rest is by a local rapper. I have never been more proud of this country
