March 10, 20179 yr at least fans got some sense and the worst 3 songs in the album missed the top 10 12 E Barcelona (Ed Sheeran) 13 E Nancy Mulligan (Ed Sheeran) 14 E Eraser (Ed Sheeran) Barcelona is the worst song in the history of music, at least the worst lyrics, and sure has the most cliches put in a song ever
March 10, 20179 yr This surely can't happen again can it? I feel like Ed's success this week is less of an omen for the future of charts, and more a perfect storm with just him having the hype of two huge albums in the past, two huge singles in the chart, and all the cross-demographics to assure an unprecedented level of streaming success. I feel like only he could manage this.
March 10, 20179 yr Here to hear the terrible Ed Sheeran songs. This is particularly awful.. as reviewed by Pitchfork Over the simpering groove of “What Do I Know?” he talks about how his “daddy” told him, “Son, don’t you get involved in politics, religion or other people’s quarrel.” Instead, like a Disney woodland creature, he just wants to pass on “the things my family’s given to me: just love and understanding, positivity.” His feeble message falls apart when the self-confessed careerist sighs at someone surely in his same tax bracket for talking “‘bout exponential growth, and the stock market crashing and their portfolios/While I’ll be sitting here with a song that I wrote.” Sheeran’s conditional optimism flashes back into view, and shows his judgmental ass: “I’m all for people following their dreams/Just remember life is more than fit-tin’ in your jeans,” he sings, in a chummy, winking dig at the basic, vapid women who do not share his own basic, vapid worldview.
March 10, 20179 yr Tbh I still think we'll get a big announcement from the OCC later on tonight that a change is being made in the charts

He was born in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, and raised in Framlingham, Suffolk. He attended the Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford, Surrey, as an undergraduate from the age of 18 in autumn 2009. In early 2011, Sheeran independently released the extended play, No. 5 Collaborations Project, which caught the attention of Elton John and Jamie Foxx. After signing with Asylum Records, his debut album, + (read as "plus"), was released on 9 September 2011 and has since been certified seven-times platinum in the UK. The album contains the single "The A Team", which earned him the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. In 2012, Sheeran won the Brit Awards for Best British Male Solo Artist and British Breakthrough Act. Sheeran's popularity abroad began in 2012. In the US, he made a guest appearance on Taylor Swift's fourth studio album, Red.

Sheeran's third album, ÷ ("divide"), was released on 3 March 2017. The first two singles from the album, "Shape of You" and "Castle on the Hill", were released on 6 January 2017 and broke records in a number of countries, including the UK, Australia and Germany, by debuting in the top two positions of the charts. He also became the first artist to have two songs debut in the US top 10.

March 10, 20179 yr First time hearing these new Ed tracks. Both 'How Would I Know?' and 'Supermarket Flowers' sound inoffensive but not single-worthy and not songs I'll go back to.

March 10, 20179 yr Basically hearing most of the Ed songs I haven't heard then - I'd heard 6 tracks from it so far and 3 of those are being skipped! 'Nancy Mulligan' and 'Eraser' are both great, aww at them being near the bottom of his songs :P 'What Do I Know?' sounded pretty good on first listen. 'Supermarket Flowers' not as much, finding that one a bit dull.
March 10, 20179 yr The thing is that we are going to have most of his songs in next week's top-20 too, with only 1 (ONE) his song being out of Spotify top-16 after 7 days of streaming.
March 10, 20179 yr I'm not so sure that this won't happen again, perhaps not to this ridiculous scale but other big artists have been having their poorer album tracks have unusually unwelcome long stays in the chart recently and it seems set to continue. Here to hear the terrible Ed Sheeran songs. This is particularly awful.. as reviewed by Pitchfork That Pitchfork article is amazing and spot-on. So far, having not heard any of the songs before, I'm almost insulted that so many people have bought into this dullness.
March 10, 20179 yr Tbh I still think we'll get a big announcement from the OCC later on tonight that a change is being made in the charts I think it's be a bit rude of them if they interrupted Ed's moment to say "lol m8 this isn't happening again" tbh :kink:
March 10, 20179 yr actually thought initially Supermarket flowers was gonna go top 3 it's very TOL-esque, borderline too cheesy + it had tv promo Dive and the one at #10 are really album filler material, never should have been top 10, underserved
March 10, 20179 yr Something like this really needs to be avoided again as it a complete mockery of the chart. It'll honestly only get more difficult to replicate in the future. If streaming grows, its audience will diversify and it'll be harder for a single artist to gather this big a share of attention. Especially if listening to albums in full continues to be less and less commonplace for the music listening public, and new acts struggle to get broken.
March 10, 20179 yr Radio 1 did the best they could then. :lol: Just as a matter of interest, what are they playing on the regular shows? I mean is it the three that were in last week or are these others getting rotation too?

The duo had a top twenty single in several countries with their 2014 song "#Selfie", reaching number sixteen on the US Billboard Hot 100, number three in Australia, and number eleven in the United Kingdom. They released their debut EP, Bouquet, in October 2015. Their following single "Roses" reached the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, while "Don't Let Me Down" became their first top 5 single. "Closer", featuring vocals from Halsey, became their first number-one single on the chart. - Wikipedia Coldplay Coldplay are a British rock band formed in 1996 by lead vocalist Chris Martin and lead guitarist Jonny Buckland at University College London. After they formed under the name Pectoralz, Guy Berryman joined the group as a bassist and they changed their name to Starfish. Will Champion joined as a drummer, backing vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist, completing the line-up. Manager Phil Harvey is often considered an unofficial fifth member. The band renamed themselves "Coldplay" in 1998, before recording and releasing three EPs; Safety in 1998, Brothers & Sisters as a single in 1999 and The Blue Room in the same year. The latter was their first release on a major label, after signing to Parlophone. They achieved worldwide fame with the release of the single "Yellow" in 2000, followed by their debut album released in the same year, Parachutes, which was nominated for the Mercury Prize. The band's second album, A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002), was released to critical acclaim and won multiple awards, including NME's Album of the Year. They have also come top of the BBC Radio 2 poll of the favourite album of all time. Their next release, X&Y, the best-selling album worldwide in 2005, was met with mostly positive reviews upon its release, though some critics felt that it was inferior to its predecessor. The band's fourth studio album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008), was produced by Brian Eno and released again to largely positive reviews, earning several Grammy nominations and wins at the 51st Grammy Awards. On 24 October 2011, they released their fifth studio album, Mylo Xyloto, which received mixed to positive reviews, topped the charts in over 34 countries, and was the UK's best-selling rock album of 2011. The band have won a number of music awards throughout their career, including eight Brit Awards—winning Best British Group three times—five MTV Video Music Awards and seven Grammy Awards from 25 nominations. Coldplay have sold more than 80 million records worldwide. In December 2009, Rolling Stone readers voted the group the fourth-best artist of the 2000s. Coldplay have been an active supporter of various social and political causes, such as Oxfam's Make Trade Fair campaign and Amnesty International. The group have also performed at various charity projects such as Band Aid 20, Live 8, Sound Relief, Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief, The Secret Policeman's Ball, Sport Relief and the UK's Teenage Cancer Trust. - Wikipedia Top 100 Chart History The Chainsmokers 2014 11 #SELFIE -NAS- 2016 16 Roses (The Chainsmokers feat.
