Ed Sheeran, man on a (musical) mission

March 10, 2017 — 2 Comments

As of this week British artist Ed Sheeran has managed to smash a completely new bunch of records all with his current album Divide (the divide symbol), here’s how

. It’s the fastest selling artist by a man, ever

. All songs from the album have gone into the Top 20

. This now makes him the 3rd fastest selling artist behind Adele and Oasis

Not bad at all for someone who hit the big time with only his second album, X. This is why I’ve always referred to him as the second male-Adele (Sam Smith being the other). On another note if we’re keeping to mathematics as album names some insiders have suggested = and -. Or as some others’ have suggested TT (pie)

Good on you Sheeran, let’s see how long you can keep the charts de-Cowellised

Glastonbury Festival Latest

February 25, 2017 — Leave a comment
Foo Fighters and Radiohead have been the confirmed headliners so far at this year’s Glastonbury Festival. Foo Fighters will be headlining Saturday’s slot with Radiohead topping the bill on Friday. No confirmation as of yet as to who’ll be topping Sunday’s bill. This will be the second time that another band has headlined all three days since Muse (2004, 2010 and last year). I, for one, am looking forward to this year’s edition
In other festival news U.S rapper Eminem is to headline both this year’s Reading+Leeds Festivals.
