Edward Christopher Sheeran, MBE (born 17 February 1991) is an English singer-songwriter. In early 2011, Sheeran independently released the extended play, No. 5 Collaborations Project. After signing with Asylum Records, his debut album, + (pronounced "plus"), was released in September 2011. It topped the UK and Australian charts, reached number five in the US, and has since been certified eight-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. "The A Team" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2013 Grammy Awards, where he performed the song with Elton John.
We may be almost half way through the year (how, please?), but 2023 still has a lot in store on the new music front. Over the coming months we're set to see some huge new album releases: from the latest in Taylor Swift's series of re-recordings (Speak Now: Taylor's Version) to big musical comebacks from Kylie Minogue (Tension), Blur (The Ballad of Darren), Arlo Parks (My Soft Machine) and Niall Horan (The Show).
Oh, and who could forget the small matter of Noel Gallagher going head-to-head with Foo Fighters in what's sure to be one of the tensest chart battles of the year?
