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.
Ed Sheeran scores his seventh Number 1 on this week’s Official Irish Singles Chart with Bad Habits. The British megastar singer-songwriter claimed the most downloads of the week to debut on top, outperforming Olivia Rodrigo’s Good 4 U (2) by 1,000 combined chart sales.
Celebrating, Ed Sheeran said, “Ireland, Bad Habits has gone Number 1 in your wonderful, beautiful country, thank you so much for making that happen.
I’ve been away for a very, very long time and I didn’t expect to come back and feel this amount of love straight away. Thank you for making it happen and I hope to see you all soon.” Bad Habits joins Sing (2014), Thinking Out Loud (2014), Shape of You (2017), Galway Girl (2017), Perfect (2017) and I Don’t Care with Justin Bieber
