Ed Sheeran was left stunned after nine of his singles featured in the the Top 10, and 16 of his songs featured in the Top 20.
The singer released his third studio album Divide last week and it’s already sold an incredible 672,000 copies.
Ed’s singles Shape Of You, Galway Girl, Castle On The Hill, Perfect, New Man and Happier have taken up all six spots at the top of the charts – and he can’t believe it.
“I never expected to have nine songs in the top 10 ever in my life so yeah, I don’t know, something’s gone wrong.” he told Radio 1’s Greg James.
“But I’m definitely very, very happy about it.”
The 26-year-old’s recent chart success has beaten Calvin Harris’ chart topping record, but the Scottish DJ isn’t bitter about the defeat, and he took to Twitter to congratulate his pal.
“Ed Sheeran just beat my UK record top 10s from 1 album in ONE WEEK,” he wrote. “Congrats Ed but also f**k you I love you but also f**k you.”
The pop star is the first artist to have all 16 tracks of his album chart in the top 20.
Congratulations, Ed!
