Ed Sheeran‘s album ‘Subtract’ has become the fastest-selling album of 2023, meaning it may mark a sixth consecutive Number One album for the singer-songwriter.According to the Official Charts Company, ‘Subtract’ has already collected over 56,000 chart units, which is more than any other album that was released this year. Lana Del Rey’s ‘Did You Know That There’s A Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd.’ previously held the record with 41,000 chart units during its first week.The LP, produced by The National’s Aaron Dessner (Taylor Swift, Gracie Abrams), is also set to claim the Number One spot in the Official Albums Chart.

Ed Sheeran is speaking out in his first interview since his copyright infringement victory.  The English singer-songwriter was accused of copying music chords from Marvin Gaye's classic "Let's Get It On" in his 2014 hit song "Thinking Out Loud." Sheeran revealed what helped him win the jury over. "101 songs with the same chord sequence," he said during an appearance on "Good Morning America." "And that was just… scratching the surface," he pointed out.

Ed Sheeran’s – (Subtract) is already the UK’s fastest-selling album of 2023 so far on its journey to become the pop superstar’s sixth consecutive Number 1 album, the Official Charts Company can confirm. 

Last week Ed Sheeran was victorious in defending a legal case brought by heirs of the estate of Ed Townsend, a writer on Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On." A federal jury found that Sheeran didn't copy Gaye's classic song when he wrote his 2014 single "Thinking Out Loud," with Sheeran having previously stated he would retire from music if he'd lost the case. Sheeran, who released new album - a day after the jury's verdict, appeared on CBS Sunday Morning this weekend, where he talked about the trial and how he believes similar cases will arise in the future due to the financial stakes on offer.

Now, thanks to reports linking the British rocker to superstar Taylor Swift, he's Google's number one search trend - and has found a whole new audience of Swifties. So what's Matt really like? Well, according to Lewis Capaldi, he's refreshingly "normal".

Nashville this weekend, and it appears everyone in the city is … “Ready For It.”Nurses Olivia Horne and Allison Harris and respiratory therapist Leah Landa were working the night shift at Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital Midtown in Nashville, jamming to Swift’s music and guessing which surprise songs she’ll sing this weekend — when they had an idea.In honor of the 33-year-old singer’s return to the city where she got her start as a country artist, the Swiftie nurses decided to dress up the premature babies in the NICU unit as different Swift eras.The newborns rocked outfits inspired by Swift’s albums, “Taylor Swift, “Fearless,” “Speak Now,” “Red,” “1989,” “reputation,” “Lover,” “folklore,” “evermore” and “Midnights.” Blonde wigs were added to complete the look.“The nurses immediately started envisioning what every Era’s costume would look like and which baby’s personality would best match each one,” the hospital said in a statement.“They knew they would come up with every STYLE. These 10 Eras costumes were not only BEJEWELED but also GORGEOUS.”One baby wore a tour merch T-shirt, while another was dressed as Swift’s longtime friend and collaborator Ed Sheeran.Swift’s Eras Tour spans 52 dates, 20 stadiums, 10 albums and 44 songs, taking up more than three hours.She is set to play Nashville’s Nissan Stadium in three sold-out nights starting Friday.The “Blank Space” singer recently cut her left hand while performing at NRG Stadium in Houston.“Just got to play 3 insane shows in Houston and I’m waking up smiling reminiscing about how much fun we all had.

Ed Sheeran is thankful for his friendship with Taylor Swift. In an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, the 32-year-old singer opened up about how his friendship with the pop star is like «therapy.»«I have long, long, long conversations with Taylor about stuff just because I feel like she's one of the only people that actually truly understands where I'm at,» Sheeran said, adding that he recently spoke to Swift for more than an hour on the phone.«Everything that was on our minds we talked about.

A verdict has been reached in Ed Sheeran‘s copyright trial. On Thursday, a New York City jury found that the 32-year-old singer did not copy Marvin Gaye’s 1973 hit, “Let’s Get It On,” on his 2014 song, “Thinking Out Loud.”

Ed Sheeran’s threat that he will quit music if he loses the current ‘Thinking Out Loud’ song-theft case in New York might have actually boosted support for the Ed Townsend estate that instigated this legal battle. However, Sheeran’s lawyer warned yesterday, if her client loses, all songwriters lose because of the precedent that ruling will set.
