All-Time Best Ed Sheeran Songs

Ed has so many massive hits! His biggest ones include 'Shape of You,' 'Perfect,' 'Thinking Out Loud,' 'Photograph,' 'Castle on the Hill,' 'Bad Habits,' and 'Shivers.' 'Shape of You' is actually one of the most-streamed songs of all time on Spotify. Each of these songs topped charts worldwide and became sing-along anthems.

Ed has released five main studio albums so far: '+' (Plus) in 2011, '×' (Multiply) in 2014, '÷' (Divide) in 2017, '=' (Equals) in 2021, and '-' (Subtract) in 2023. He's also put out several EPs and collaboration projects. Each album uses a mathematical symbol as its title, which has become his signature naming style.

Yes! Ed married his childhood friend Cherry Seaborn in January 2019. They've known each other since they were kids growing up in Suffolk. The couple has two daughters together - Lyra Antarctica, born in 2020, and Jupiter, born in 2022. Ed is pretty private about his family life but occasionally shares sweet moments about being a dad.

Ed plays a Martin LX1 Little Martin acoustic guitar, which he's nicknamed 'Cyril.' The guitar looks absolutely battered because he's been playing it for years and years - it's covered in dents, scratches, and even has a huge hole worn into it from his aggressive strumming style. He's so attached to this particular guitar that he refuses to replace it, even though Martin has offered him new ones!

Ed's rise to fame is pretty inspiring! He started busking on the streets of London as a teenager, sleeping on friends' couches and playing wherever he could. He released several independent EPs and built a following online. The big break came when he caught the attention of Jamie Foxx, who let him use his recording studio, and then Elton John became a mentor. His debut album '+' in 2011 launched him to stardom.

Oh absolutely! Ed has won multiple Grammy Awards, including Best Pop Solo Performance and Song of the Year. He's also won several BRIT Awards, Ivor Novello Awards, and was even awarded an MBE (Member of the British Empire) by Prince Charles in 2017 for his services to music and charity. He's one of the most awarded British artists of his generation.

Ed is covered in tattoos! He has over 60 tattoos, including a massive lion on his chest, various album artwork, song lyrics, and personal symbols. Some notable ones include a Heinz ketchup bottle (he's obsessed with ketchup), Pingu the penguin, and tattoos representing his albums and tours. Each tattoo tells a story about his life and career - it's like a visual autobiography on his skin.

Ed took an 18-month hiatus starting in December 2015 because he was completely burned out from constant touring and being in the spotlight. He said he felt like he was seeing the world through a phone screen and wasn't actually living his life. During the break, he traveled, spent time with friends and family, and rediscovered his love for music. He came back refreshed and created his '÷' (Divide) album during this time.
