Ed Sheeran Tops Shazam’s 2018 Mid-Year Charts
LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) – Considering how popular and ubiquitous his songs are, it’s surprising to learn that has topped nearly every single chart on Shazam’s 2018-to-date statistics.
“Even though Ed’s album “Divide” is now more than a year old, the songs from it continue to be Shazamed in large numbers,” said Julian Marshall, Global Head of Content. “With some big releases incoming from Drake, Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande, and tracks like “X” still in our Worldwide Top 10, it’ll be interesting to see if he’s still top of the charts at the end of the year.”
