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

First time I'm hearing this

that opening to Make It Rain really reminds me of King Krule's "Rock Bottom" :heart:

 

oh yay another wild Ed Sheeran ballad appears :nocheer: Doezn't look like going anywhere from here in the chart thank god. Sounds really boring.

Oh dear <_< and after a good start to the chart, at least this whiny rubbish is only #38! :D

Hi all! Missed the start of the show as I had to help my mum with something. Gutted I missed '7/11' but yay at that managing a second week top 40.

 

Fabulous to see 'Make It Rain' kept inside the top 40 :wub: Thought it may have just missed out in the end. Really lovely bluesy song, doesn't sound like a hit at all, just the power of Ed Sheeran! :P

 

Not the biggest fan of 'Last Christmas' but yay for Xmas songs in the chart. Hope The Pogues have somehow overtaken Mariah, they'll be very close I think!

This week in 2004 was :oO

 

Great year for music that one!

No desire to listen to this -_- couldn't even tell you how his latest number 1 goes :unsure: not sure how I've managed to escape it looking at it's run.

First time hearing this Ed Sheeran track. I like. :)

 

I hope George Ezra's 'Listen To The Man' has made it in this week.

Oh this is pretty dull lol.

Really? More Sheeran :manson: about as dull as most of his recent output...

Dull and REALLY strained :/ I See Fire was so much better than this in terms of Ed's soundtrack songs.

Ed could potentially have four entries in the first top 40 of 2015 if Make It Rain improves by then and the gift card effect likely to help Sing re-enter.

I hope George Ezra's 'Listen To The Man' has made it in this week.

 

Highly doubtful. Was only just top 50 on Friday's mids :(

Oh dear <_< and after a good start to the chart, at least this whiny rubbish is only #38! :D

 

Whiney rubbish is all that Justin Whinealake and this guy Sheeran produce, though? :lol:

I wonder if Wham appeals to their radio 1 demographic...

Ouch for Cheryl after only 5 weeks :lol:

Biography

Cheryl Ann Fernandez-Versini (née Tweedy, formerly Cole; born 30 June 1983), known professionally as Cheryl Cole, is an English recording artist, songwriter, dancer, and television personality. She rose to fame in late 2002 when she auditioned for the reality television show Popstars: The Rivals on ITV. The programme announced that Cole had won a place as a member of the girl group Girls Aloud. The group's line-up remained the same throughout their history and during that time the group achieved a string of twenty consecutive top ten singles in the United Kingdom (including four number one singles) and six platinum albums (two of which went to number one) and earned five BRIT Award nominations from 2005 to 2010. In 2009, Girls Aloud won "Best Single" with their song "The Promise". In early 2013, Girls Aloud announced that they had split up.

 

Cole embarked on a solo career and released her first solo studio album 3 Words (2009) through Polydor records. 3 Words saw the release of three successful singles and the lead single from the album, "Fight for This Love," debuted at number one on the UK charts, becoming the best selling single of the year. "3 Words" and "Parachute" both peaked within the top five of the UK charts. 2010 saw the release of Cole's second studio album Messy Little Raindrops, which produced two singles, the first being "Promise This" which went straight to number one. Cole released her third solo album A Million Lights on 18 June 2012, with lead single "Call My Name" being released on 11 June 2012, the single became Cole's third number one single. During her solo career, Cole has earned three BRIT Award nominations.

 

Cole has become a recognised and photographed style icon; referred to as a fashionista by the press. She has been photographed for the covers of British Vogue, Elle and Harper's Bazaar, while becoming the new face of cosmetic company L'Oréal. Cole was married to England footballer Ashley Cole from July 2006 until September 2010, when she divorced him following the announcement of their separation earlier that year. Cole became a judge on the UK version of The X Factor in 2008, becoming the winning judge twice out of the three series she judged. In 2011, Cole left the UK version of The X Factor to judge the American version. However, Cole was sacked from the show. Cole's net worth was estimated at £15 million in April 2012. On 10 March 2014, it was announced that Cole would return as a judge on the U.K. version of The X Factor for its eleventh series, signing a £1.5 million contract. - Wikipedia
