Ooooft 'Take Me to Church' really is VERY good, it hit me properly about a week ago. What a voice, also!

Take Me To Church does nothing for me, his voice is so grating. It isnt my sort of music anyway though.

Now, this could do with an X Factor boost!

First time I've heard this, believe it or not. :lol:

 

Not bad, not getting the big obsession but it could be a grower.

At least 2 of Ed's songs are going the right way now. Also completely bored of Don't

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

Album Discussion Here

Despite the Sheeran overkill as of late, 'Don't' luckily hasn't been too dented for me, still sounding fab.

"Don't" is one of the few songs I really like from Ed Sheeran. So good to see it's still in the Top 40 ^_^

Mildly off topic but I'm kinda surprised 'Don't' is doing as well as it is in the USA, looks like it could give him a first top 10 hit there.

Bored of the three Ed Sheeran singles now. They've become so overplayed. He has some amazing album tracks on 'x' - "Afire Love" is probably the best on there! :wub:

I think Don't sums up everything I hate about Ed Sheeran. Smug, arrogant yet completely mind numbingly dull.

Good to see 2 weeks at the top for Mr Ezra on the Albums Chart :)

I really like Let It Be- shame it fell so much

It really sounds like a Bond theme

Biography

Timothy McKenzie (born 4 January 1989), better known by his stage name Labrinth, is an English singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and record producer. Initially, he was tipped to work as a producer, but Simon Cowell signed him to his record label Syco Music as a solo act. In the process, Labrinth became Cowell's first non-talent show signing in six years.

 

Labrinth made his debut appearance on the UK Singles Chart in March 2010, when his collaboration with rapper Tinie Tempah, "Pass Out", reached number one. McKenzie has collaborated with Tinie Tempah on numerous occasions since. Labrinth's first solo single, "Let the Sun Shine" was released in September 2010, reaching number three in the same chart. His debut album Electronic Earth, was released on 31 March 2012, having been preceded by the singles "Earthquake" featuring Tinie Tempah and "Last Time", which peaked at number two and number four respectively. He achieved his first number-one single in November 2012 with "Beneath Your Beautiful", featuring Emeli Sandé. - iTunes

'Let It Be' is so weird but wonderful. Very unexpected but welcome comeback!

A huge drop for Labrinth. This song deserves more.

Shame Labirinth has fallen so many, I quite like this song

This isn't exactly his best, good to see it drop heavily.

This song deserves a much better peak position / chart run!

"Let It Be" is ok. I think it needs to grow on me.
