Ed Sheeran - Bad Habits

Well his new one is good too :rolleyes: (and no, I haven't watched the video and don't plan on doing it)





Really his big pop era
 
ugh. that is actually good. really quite good indeed. FUCK HIM!

further evidence for the "Ed Sheeran is a twat" dossier (@RJN)



thank you, God of pop, for letting Elton get that #1 (without manipulating the chart to prevent it)!
 
So I didn't really have much of an opinion on Ed either way until I watched that video and wondered how conceited can someone who has offered the world so very little, actually be?

Turns out I have my answer.

Fuck off Ed Sheeran.
 
He does come off douchey there. I still don’t hate him
 
the album is out today and with it the third single which is, frustratingly, excellent again



FUCK HIM!

and there isn't even a video I can post to remind you all of how smackable he is.

Frustratingly excellent :D

But yeah, thats really good on first listen. He's 3/3 for singles this era in my opinion. I'm sorry but I am going to listen to the album
 
Can anyone tempted to listen to the album do so this week to get it out of their system before Abba Voyage drops next week?

Thanks ever so x

We'll try

Tides sounds exactly like something else but I can't figure it out
 
Doesn't everything he releases sound exactly like something else at this point?
 
Well yes, but all of the singles have just sounded like Weeknd songs. I can't figure out what this one sounds like.

First Times is very unessential. It sounds like every other boring Ed ballad
 
ugh I bet the Christmas single he keeps babbling on and on is either First Times or The Joker and The Queen.

Exactly. Good songs technically but not something I want to listen to because he has just leveraged somebody else’s very successful sound (and to some extent, imagery). As Natalia Kills told us, it’s all about artistic integrity!

we do love to see it.

didn't some of you predict his second week might block ABBA from #1? :eyes:
 
But all those MISSING HMV sales and streams :o

Never mind all the Abba fans who have had their orders cancelled!
 
I was VERY pleased when I read the midweek figure (was it 84k?) though, missing data or not.

Don’t put words in my mouth. All I said was I’m in love with him and I hope he becomes king
 
Ed's album debuted with 123k units in the US including 80k of pure sales. The last album did 451k including 322k pure sales. Quite the drop off.

How does that compare with opening weeks generally this year?

However the list is much smaller for pure sales above 80k, which are about eight albums.
 
it's nothing special. Halsey, whose album dropped with no single and minimal hype, did 98k.
 
I expected him to have much larger streaming numbers even if the pure sales were a bit lackluster. The two lead singles are big radio hits, and the market hasn't declined THAT much since 2017. I think people have just moved on.

I think @Jark was right when he said that Sheeran is a singles artist now. Bad Habits is looking like it’s going to be number one this week, at least according to people on Pulse
 
he's shed a lot of what "identity" he had to make soulless pop music that's bang on-trend, I'm sure this will be a lesson to him/the label that when you do that you become a singles artiste. I'm interested to see how the album sells in the next 6 months, but probably it won't go beyond 500k (many of which will be singles streaming points), which has to be really disappointing.

anyway—good :disco:

173k debut with 70k pure sales. That one passed under my radar. But still stronger streaming presence with that album, which was kind of a side project ish.
 
I mean could we just CLOSE THIS THREAD now or at least move it to pop toilet

All this NON IRONIC chatter about E* S****** music is tainting our very forum!
