Calling a song that's spent three weeks in the Top 40 an 'old friend' - setting the bar a little high Greg? :heehee:

 

(ugh I'm going to miss doing this for the next six weeks :P )

40. Nice to see him get his first solo top 40 hit

39. Hopefully it will be made into an official single and climb

38. Wasn’t expecting this to survive another week

37. Hopefully the durge will f*** off next week

36. Glad to see this back

surprised this never went top 20 with all the promo and support he's got, find it a bit of a snoozefest personally

Niall's material has been consistently good so far! I initially found 'This Town' quite bland but it really grew on me in time. This is similarly pleasant. 'Slow Hands' is easily the best thing he has released so far so I hope there are more ~funky~ songs like that on the album too.

Very surprised to see Sam Smith still Top 40! :o

 

Also does that mean that Ed's stayed out? *hopes*

Great to hear Niall back in the top 40, hope this can climb lots with the album release now!

I reckon this is going to keep climbing! (does he have X Factor? That would certainly boost the track)

Biography

 

Edward Christopher Sheeran (born 17 February 1991) is an English singer-songwriter, guitarist and record producer. He was born in Halifax, 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. 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. "The A Team" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2013 Grammy Awards, where he performed the song with Elton John. He spent much of 2013 opening for Swift's The Red Tour in North America dates. His second studio album, x (read as "multiply"), was released on 23 June 2014. It peaked at number one in the UK and the US. In 2015, x won the Brit Award for Album of the Year, and he received the Ivor Novello Award for Songwriter of the Year. His single from x, "Thinking Out Loud", earned him two Grammy Awards at the 2016 ceremony: Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance.

 

Sheeran's third album, ÷ ("divide"), was released in March 2017. The album debuted at number one in the UK, the US and other major markets. The first two singles from the album, "Shape of You" and "Castle on the Hill", were released in 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 in the same week. Sheeran appeared on Debrett's 2017 list of the most influential people in the UK. - Wikipedia
