4 ex number 1s in a row!

I only liked Bad from his latest era, figures it would do the worst.

 

Same for me (until 'Dangerous' anyway), that's almost sold as much as 'Shot You Down' though which is an impressive feat considering their respective peaks. It'll probably outsell it eventually.

'Waves' still sounding fab. :heart: X Factor last night reminded me of Jack Walton's version too and had it on repeat, gorgeous. :wub:

Guetta's next single Dangerous is his best since She-Wolf.

"Waves" :wub:

it was a good start to the chart till David Guetta ruined it :lol: Thankfully Waves is here to put it back to track :wub:

That's four former number ones the chart has started off with this week!

How do well do you think Mr Probz's follow-up single will do?

I only liked Bad from his latest era, figures it would do the worst.

It did at least spend way longer in the top 75 than "Shot Me Down", and at this rate "Lovers On The Sun" as well.

Biography

Edward Christopher "Ed" Sheeran (born 17 February 1991) is an English singer-songwriter. Raised in Framlingham, Suffolk, he moved to London in 2008 to pursue a musical career. In early 2011, Sheeran released an independent extended play, No. 5 Collaborations Project, which caught the attention of both Elton John and Jamie Foxx. He then signed to Asylum Records. His 2011 debut album, +, containing the singles "The A Team" and "Lego House", was certified quintuple platinum in the United Kingdom. In 2012, he won two BRIT Awards for Best British Male and British Breakthrough. "The A Team" won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.

 

Sheeran began to be known in the United States in 2012. He made a guest appearance on Taylor Swift's fourth studio album, Red, and wrote songs for One Direction. "The A Team" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2013 Grammy Awards and he performed the song in duet with Elton John during the ceremony. He spent much of 2013 touring North America as the opening act for Taylor Swift's Red Tour. His second studio album is titled x, read as "multiply", and is scheduled for worldwide release on 23 June 2014. He was nominated for Best New Artist at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards. - Wikipedia

So so bored of Sing again- it really needs to go away

And Jameela mentioning it's his first ever number 1 again :lol:

5 ex number 1s in a row :lol:

4 ex number 1s in a row!

And here is the 5th :lol:

 

The first EVER number 1 for Ed Sheeran :P

Oh! I still don't like "Sing".

5 former no.1's in a row, then. :o That's pretty remarkable! (and stale. :lol:)

5 former no.1's in a row, then. :o That's pretty remarkable! (and stale. :lol:)

And we can re-name the official chart to the former number 1s chart :D

How do well do you think Mr Probz's follow-up single will do?

 

Very badly if he releases Nothing Else Matters as he has in Holland. Nobody wants a piano ballad from him.

 

As an aside, I find it hilarious that Happy was in the top three during the last run of X Factor live shows and has remained too 40 right through to the new run nearly a year on :lol:

Good opportunity for Stay With Me to drop a dozen spots to continue the pattern :P
