Ed Sheeran: A brief look back

Born Edward Christopher Sheeran, the 32-year-old singer-songwriter is best remembered for his innumerable earworm songs that have earned him global acclaim since his debut back in 2011. With parents who were both professionals in the world of art, Sheeran grew up with a natural affinity for the field and learned how to play the guitar at seven years old.

Not long after picking up the instrument, he would go on to record music of his own in 2004, releasing a compilation of original songs that he dubbed Spinning Man. While he would continue to make headway in the industry, it wouldn’t be until the release of his 2010 EP, Loose Change, which contained the single The A Team, did Sheeran struck commercial gold.

The song’s popularity further blossomed when it was selected as the lead single for Sheeran’s debut album, simply titled + (Plus), in September 2011. In a span of just a few months, the album sold a whopping 791,000 copies in the United Kingdom alone. Catching the attention of the entertainment industry at large, he was later tapped by Taylor Swift to co-write and provide vocals for Everything Has Changed, while also releasing the song I See Fire, as part of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug’s soundtrack.

From debut success to global superstar

His sophomore output, entitled x (Multiply), would receive a similarly favourable reception from audiences through the singles Sing, Don’t, and Thinking Out Loud. During the 2016 Grammy Awards, Sheeran bagged both two awards for Song of The Year and Best Solo Pop Performance, in addition to nabbing the British Male Solo Artist and British Album of the Year for × at the 2015 Brit Awards.

Sheeran went on a brief hiatus from the industry in 2015, before reemerging on social media to announce the debut of his third album, ÷ (Divide) that released in 2017. Containing Shape of You and Castle On A Hill, both tracks broke the Spotify record for the most streams in a single day, numbering at 13 million combined. The album was supported by the Divide World Tour, which remains Sheeran’s most successful tour to date. 

This was followed by a fourth studio album containing collaborations with other prominent artists such as Justin Beiber, and the debut of his fifth solo album, = in 2021 with the lead single Bad Habits. Most recently, he dropped two albums in 2023, namely – (Subtract) and Autumn Variations.
