Announcement is coming in a few hours. Autumn Variations debuts at #1 with 30,016 units.

Tension outsold!

Someone share that Ciara GIF with the declining sales graph please

This is a major decline for him. His last album opened with 76K.

A #1 is a #1. Ed wins again.

Album sales meaning nothing for him anymore when his tours keep grossing half a billion.

I’ve lost context for debuts in the UK.  What have other albums this year been doing?  

Bad numbers for him, still interested to listen to this album.

If 10 years ago someone would tell me Ed Sheeran was selling less than Kylie Minogue i wouldn't believe it but here we are 

He still has a huge touring power though.

good 4 him 

 

It's what he deserves.

Miss Kylie stomping on him like that woo chile 

Ed about to collaborate with Kylie to leech off of her success

That’s like 100k in US terms 

 

not bad  

Kylie outsold

You thought that Ed Sheeran would outsell Kylie for a decade just off one album?

For what? He’s unproblematic 

 

unlike the republican backing capitalist homophobic racist nun killer shoes salesman’s Katy “Conservative Christian” Perry 

That's equivalent to 100k in the US....which is pretty bad considering how massive UK as a market is for him

 

I'm kinda shocked of the decline

 

His "Witness" era is here

Some of you are so dramatic, it's clear he has released this album for fans. It was released under his own label, it has zero single and minimum exposure. Be for real

He has been doing this type of music before Taylor released Folklore so Swifties should stop being delusional and act like Taylor invented everything.

 

This album is released through his label and he won't promote it, he won't release a single or shoot a video. And i can't understand people who hates him or don't listen to him complaining about him releasing new music. He's keeping his fans fed and we are happy with the music he released. I think he's capable of making hits if he wants.
