ATRL - Poll: Could Ed Sheeran Reach US Success?

Darren-5-08 · , 8:52 PM

No. He's really dull in my opinion...

rrr13rcc · , 8:53 PM

Since he is collabing with Taylor Swift, then yes, he will be big here in the US...once that song comes out

It'll give him some huge promo.

And people still doubt him.

I guess they must be jealous.

I'm getting my copy this week. Getting it imported.

Of course. What label is he on?

He's HUGE in UK and getting bigger in Australia / New Zealand

I do think that "Lego House" will be his breakthrough hit, a shame because "The A Team" totally ***** on it

Atlantic.

I'm sure that he could breakthrough in Canada as well. When are they getting the album release, anyway? I feel all the English speaking countries could really warm up to him... And people that I know actually like his music, here in the US.

Both "Lego House" and "The A Team" are great though

In addition to being #1 album on iTunes, "The A Team" is the featured free download of the week, so people may discover him that way as well.

I hope not. The A Team is one of the worst songs in recent years.

Interesting... Emeli Sande had the same treatment with one of her album tracks last week...

I hope the two of them can smash together, to be honest.

He is all over the radio here, but I really don't like his music. It's just not my kind of thing. I think he has potential though. His music could appeal to a wider demographic and I could see him being more of an albums artist in the U.S., rather than having a bunch of hit singles.

Hunter_13 · , 3:04 AM

Considering his album went number one itunes in the US and Canada in under 30 minutes, yes. I'm buying my copy today.

He could.

Girlll.... you do know that IS Rupert Grint in the second video, right? Aka Ron Weasley.

Hot 100

92. Ed Sheeran, “The A Team” (+7)

Starting

CoolestPerson12 · , 5:14 AM

If he hasn't by now then no. I think he'll be an album artist, then a singles artist.

Hunter_13 · , 5:16 AM

I'm waiting for his collab with Taylor to smash

Taylor Swift · , 5:21 AM

He could smash, he's got a collaboration with Taylor Swift coming up.

That doesn't mean anything. Tons of artists have been featured on singles from big name acts and it hasn't benefited them. What matters most is if he can have a song that resonant with people. Just because you're big in the UK will not make you big in the US or anywhere for that matter. You music has to click with that audience. And he can't have Taylor overshadowing him, that won't do much for his career.

All I said is he could smash, I just mentioned the Taylor Swift collaboration coming up, not that particular song would smash.

Should've worded that better.

Tbh, I'm not that concerned whether or not if he breakthroughs in the US. I mean, I love his music and that's all that matters for me. I didn't mean like Taylor would benefit him or anything. I'm just excited for the song since it's two of my faves. I should've worded that better.

Its just that the sentence made it look like he would smash because he's in the song with Taylor.
