charts discussion Has the public completely moved on from Ed Sheeran?

[CallumDavies]

He never had artistic integrity or appeal - just hits.

 

Then he mistook his popular songs as his personal popularity and tried to make "real music" and realised his fan base doesn't exist 

 

Now he has no artistic integrity but also doesn't have hits

That means ATRL will love it because ATRL loves those mediocre Eurovision songs   

Im a ESC fan ever since I was a kid. But once would expect something more from Ed Sheeran, not that Im a fan tho.

[HexMayhem]

you know capitol fm are frothing at the mouth to play this on the hour every hour

[bopboy]

it's interesting he secured #1 on TTH for this still 

[Schami66]

What really stopped me from listening to Ed Sheeran was the way his voiced changed after Devide. 

I don't know if it's a natural progress or production choices but I don't like it.

I feel like his voice used to sound very warm and had volume to it while he started to sing higher and strained more offen after ~2019/20/21

You can't ever rule him out but his days as this huge hitmaker are most likely over, he'll probably keep getting hits here and there tho.

[John Slayne]

his new songs don't stick but didn't his recent tour gross like 900M? his catalogue will continue to carry him probably forever, especially once the 10s nostalgia starts kicking in next decade

[Digitalism]

Yeah but he could release one of his corny ballads and easily come back.

Thankfully he keeps trying it with watered down shape of yous 

[Colmillo]

He's boring, so I'm cheering.

Watch AZIZAM smash and this become one of #those threads 

good luck booking that smash you speak of... maybe it if unexpectedly goes viral on tiktok or something a la Made You Look 

[EtherealCat]

its feels like a dream it could come crashing down at any moment

[Fresh Out The Slammer]

I used to like Ed, but this is so pleasing to me considering he used to talk about comparing his stats to Taylor's back then to seem superior. I know Eras Tour made him FUME. 

[smartalek22]

Sing is his magnum opus those who get it get it Azizam arts not the charts... tbh it's cute and sounds like it could become a radio hit or something idk???

Really? I didn't know that.

Azizam doesn't sound like it would be as big as bad habits  but  who knows. Do people even know it's out

I honestly didn't know he had a new song out

[bestfiction]

I've just realized that he went from 3x Platinum in the UK to barely scraping Gold  and that's his main market

[FabForAThrowback]

Not now that I like this new song

I know it's throwback-ish, kinda 2015's, but I'm too nostalgic and it works well for me. I'm not a fan of him, I liked his initial songs, especially Don't. At the time he was delivering such an interesting vibe, but when he became huge I lost interest because he kinda became the cheesy love song's master and I can't stand that type of music, after that I liked only South of the border. So I'm happy he went for a more animated sound this time. 

[Clarksonator]

Yea, it's so weird to me... Both him and Post Malone just fell of all of a sudden? I don't care much for their music but the drop was so extreme.

He can announce a tour any day and sell out stadiums. Let's be fr now

[unclefloprry]

I find so funny how there are 2 threads about Ed but 0 about Miley's new "underperformance"
