QueenofCopyPaste Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Beyonce, Taylor, & Drake debuted higher Even if still hes #1 on streaming...he still fell flat with SPS combined. Certainly "not the biggest artist" he self proclaims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ribs Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 SO(T)Y is already a timeless classic and the biggest streaming song of the decade. Pulling 14M views in YouTube everyday while hitting records after records in Spotify. ATRL LOST, ED WON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Decent numbers. And yeah, he did overestimate himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like the year is about to come to an end and he is kinda the 1st major release this year. OT: He did decent numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustActinUP Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Considering the hype and promo. It's bit underwhelming. Hopefully this humbles him. He's not a household name in America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just not in the same realms of the Eminem, Adele, Taylor, Beyoncé & Justin Timberlake. When it comes to household names in the US. Right now, he gotta battle it out with Bruno Mars and The Weekend. Edited March 6, 2017 by JustActinUP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Weeknd and Bruno Mars have had way more hits than Ed here in the US, but he's undeniably bigger than both in the rest of the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSLGNMA Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Ed Sheeran is not a household name in the US. High numbers don't automatically make him a household name. The Weeknd isn't a household name either yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) Ed is NOT a household name. He has 2 big hits to his name and a few other minor ones. And his celeb profile, which is arguably much more important when determining "household name/status", is not that big...at all. Bruno Mars (to all audiences, skews older) and The Weeknd (to younger audiences, more socially relevant) are bigger than him name-wise in the US. Bruno's been having huge hits since literally the beginning of the decade and The Weeknd has been a big name underground since 2011/2012 and obviously mainstream since 2015.
