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

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.

I was totally with you until you said this.  What in the world...

Decent numbers. 

 

And yeah, he did overestimate himself.

Great numbers, but I'm sure he is underwhelmed by this debut.

Still, best selling album of the year already. 

Ok yeah, but we've barely entered the 3rd month in the year. 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.

Considering the hype and promo. It's bit underwhelming. Hopefully this humbles him. He's not a household name in America.

Maybe in the UK.  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.

Very true. 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

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. 

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.

it's strange that Bruno has never seen these numbers and that none of his albums debuted at #1

sold out stadiums worldwide to follow, he is clearly the male adele

so a little bit more than Joanne

Didn't he say that if he was going up against anyone else during an album release, he would be #1?

Not with those numbers, Ed 

 

 

Wow that's a lot but Im not buying it. Congrats

Yet he won Best Pop Vocal Album against 20/20 Experience at 2014 Grammys. #poorthat 

 Consistency on the charts >>>>  Huge debuts leading to frontloaded eras. 

 

Ed needs some reallity check I hope this is just the beginning.
