Still can't believe it was X's lead single, it was completely overshadowed by the other singles

 

Sing: 508M

 

Photograph: 2.1B

Thinking Out Loud: 2.17B

I See Fire: 875M

Don't: 682M

 

Its Spotify total isn't bad but given how huge Ed and the era are/were, it's still quite low.

Havent heard it since 2014

The only “Sing” I know. 

Unfortunately yes. It’s the best song on the album

I’m surprised Don’t is so low too, and that was bigger than Sing.

Omg i was listening to this song today after a few years. 

yes

i had no idea what song itd be before opening the thread

Thought you meant the movie ngl

Heard it the other day in the shop and I got to say I got me life a bit

I don't think radio in my country ever played this if I'm honest. 

Photograph and TOL were the ones that got spammed 

It was clearly overshadowed by the follow up singles, by tbh Ed didnt full blow up (in America at least) until Thinking Out Loud.

 

It was pretty big but it's definitely forgotten now, especially compared to Photographs and TOL.

Ofc but it's one of his only somewhat decent songs so it kinda wins regardless. 500M streams on Spotify is really good tbh. 

 I completely forgot about it. 

Don’t is the best track.

Agreed, along with Nina.

 

OT: Very much forgotten. Don't, Thinking Out Loud, Photograph and especially the Divide singles stomped on it back-to-back.

I’m more surprised at Photograph streaming on par with TOL. The latter was definitely a much bigger hit.

No, it had to be remembered first to be forgotten

Yeah especially considering this is a 2014 song lol. Digital sales were still a thing back then 

Yes, the fact that this was his first UK number 1 too

I'm surprised it wasn't that big of a hit, it's his best song.
