He making more because it's really popular , gosh the man works hard

Just remembered that the Oasis - 'Some Might Say' anniversary vinyl is out this week, so some potential impact to watch out for.

so Ed probably assumes Ordinary will dodge ACR and needs an extra month for the song to die out

if he's moved the physicals to late May

If he was that threatened by ordinary why would he be down the pub singing it with him giving it promotion 🤣🤣 it's not that deep,

Or is he down the pub jumping on the most popular song of the moment to give himself promotion.

This is Ed, remember. He stays awake at night pondering his next move in ruling the charts! 😁

If yhats

Because the charts are full of songs from 2024, so he's singing the best selling single of 2024 to cover all bases 🤣

His mind... 😱

Stick Season is being streamed more than Azizam though

Gotta get them all chatting down the pubs right 🙌🙌

We spend our time moaning about labels not doing enough to get the best chart positions for certain artists and Ed is literally the king of securing the BEST possible chart position he can with all his releases and people seem to be offended by it and see it as a negative? It's baffling to me.
