Could you add the new sales of the “Tour Edition” version?
Spotify
= (2,5bn)
Tour Edition (3,2bn)
Does views of YouTube shorts on Ed’s channel count as sales by video stream?
Ed is the first artist to reach the 100 million followers on Spotify. Congratulations!
Ed Sheeran’s Bad Habits (feat. Bring Me The Horizon) is not included on Ed’s Spotify numbers tool page but appears on BMTH spotify page on chartmasters. currently has 33 million streams
He seems to past his peak. His ladt 2 outputs don't have that much worldwide impact. He still manage to do hits though (Like Bad habits, Shivers and I Dont care).
But he is a wonderful Touring artist. He just dont have the biggest fan base, so his sales went down with the market.
Does anyone know why there's such a gap between his overall units here and on the 'Top Artists' page?
If you add up his numbers on this page, you get about 85M CSPC units, but on the overall artists list, he has over 95M units. That's quite the difference.
Like Adele's 30 (2021), Ed Sheeran's Subtract (2023) will probably sell fewer than its respective predecessors. Ed Sheeran's predecessors remained relatively stable in the Billboard 200 as well in other charts. And now Subtract is already in free falling. Maybe a sign of Third British Invasion's decline?
The biggest problem with these damn labels is the "rule" of songs going viral on the web first and investing later, that for me is the worst disgust they do to the best artists like: him (Ed Sheeran), Adele, Miley Cyrus, Healsey and among others, I could be wrong but looking closely lately at the amounts and names of streams on the albums of some artists are influencing the pure sales of 2021 so far, the greatest example of all this is Olivia Rodrigo who thanks to the giant streams her first album sold more 1 million and 100 thousand pure copies worldwide
