One of the most acclaimed artists of his generation, Ed Sheeran's algebraically titled albums have topped the charts in the UK and many other countries. Born in Halifax, England, on February 17, 1991, he made his debut in 2005 with a folk-tinged pop-rock style that caught the public's attention with "The A Team" (2011), which reached No. 3 in its country. The next single, "You Need Me, I Don't Need You", followed suit the same year, before the release of the Rick Rubin-produced album +, which reached No.1 in the UK. Its successor, X (2014), is driven by the hit "Sing". Ed Sheeran then reached the top of the track and album sales charts in the UK and several European countries, which was confirmed by his third album Divide (2017), following the success of "Shape of You" (No. 1). In 2019, the British artist confirms his musical openness by extending the concept of the EP No. 5 Collaborations Project (No. 46) in the form of a full album logically named No. 6 Collaborations Project (No. 1), which sees him share the microphone with numerous artists in styles as varied as pop, rap, electro or folk. He teamed up with Khalid, Camila Cabello, Cardi B, Justin Bieber, Eminem, 50 Cent and Skrillex. 2021 saw the release of his fifth studio album, =, which immediately reached No.1, helped by the single "Bad Habits", which also reached No.1. Logically, its successor - (2023), produced by Max Martin, Fred Again, Aaron Dessner and Shellback, unveiled itself with the #1 "Eyes Closed", followed by "Boat" (#46), before taking its turn - like its five predecessors - at the top of the sales and listening charts. The same year saw the release of Autumn Variations, produced by Aaron Dessner of The National, with the exception of a track written and produced by his twin brother Bryce Dessner. Among his many singles, several are remixed by electro greats such as Galantis, Major Lazer, Martin Jensen, Robin Schulz, Loud Luxury, Cheat Codes, Sam Feldt, Meduza, Joel Corry, Ofenbach, Alok, Jax Jones and R3hab. Sheeran also collaborates on songs with Elton John ("Merry Christmas", 2021), Fireboy DML ("Peru"), J Balvin ("Sigue / Forever My Love", 2022) and D-Block Europe ("Lonely Lovers"). Following the releases of "Eyes Closed" and "A Beautiful Game" in 2023, and "Under the Tree" in 2024, the English star unveils tracks from his eighth album Play: "Azizam" (No. 3, also recorded in an alternative version with Googoosh), "Old Phone" (No. 17), "Sapphire" (No. 5, also in another version with Arijit Singh) and the soul-tinged "A Little More" (No. 18).
