I told you, it's ridiculous how massive Ed is in Canada, biggest artist there right now maybe?

I do the weekly radio survey for "Bell Media" which owns 1/2 of the pop radio stations in Canada. They only release the top 3 of every week. Shivers is always there, so it's testing better than in the US, but EOM has been #1 for the last 4 weeks, so I don't understand why all of the Bell stations dropped it from power this week.

 

Thanks so much for taking part in the Pick The Hits Music Survey to help Virgin Radio play the music you want to hear. 

The top 3 highest scoring songs last week were...
 

1.    Adele - Easy On Me 

2.    Ed Sheeran - Shivers 

3.    Justin Bieber - Ghost 

Shivers is better than Easy on Me…Canada got it right

 

I Drink Wine should come to obliterate in 2022, though

No lies told

Shivers is so fun

I'm so tired of "Shivers". It's just not that addictive as Bad Habits, that is one of those songs I don't get tired of. "Shivers" is just cute to me.

It’s basic. Singing the “Ooo!” is the only fun part. The rest is boring.

Bad Habit is the boring one. Shiver makes you wanna dance. I can actually hear the soul and emotions in his voice when he sings the verses

Agree! 

When the Christmas freeze is over I think these songs are going to absolutely explode:

 

- Happier Than Ever

- Meet Me At Our Spot

- abcdefu

- Woman

 

and hopefully we get some new music cuz it’s looking boring af right now 

TWIW is certainly doing way better than I expected, Lil Nas really becoming in a pop radio force. He's unescapable during all these months.

From the snippet I've heard on the Hot 100 videos TWIW seems to be a different sound for him. I think it very briefly charted at Alternative or that BB classified it as such for 1-2 weeks.

#12 tomorrow? 

Seems ORN is... done.  Damn, it's shocking how after one of the biggest pop smashes in recent years (Circles) Posty has failed to perform good. At this point, radio is going to continue playing "Circles" instead of his new material.

The way her label pushed this on radio and it hasnt done anything

The fact that a reject from 2012 made it to top 20 on Pop is a win in and of itself

I'll agree with you on that. Shivers > Bad Habits. But their both pretty bad. Ed has very few songs I enjoy, Thinking Out Loud is my fave from him.
