Ed Sheeran is an English singer and songwriter who is widely known for his pop music and rap-inspired rhymes. He was born in Halifax, West Yorkshire and grew up in Framlingham, Suffolk, where he still resides to this day. Sheeran’s songs are some of the greatest hits of all time, and the following songs are the top picks.
Perfect
”Perfect” was released on Mar. 3rd, 2017 and was included in his third studio album titled, “÷“. The song came to fruition when he shared a moment with Cherry Seahorn, his now wife, in Ibiza, Spain. Ed and Cherry were barefoot on a lawn listening to their favourite song, which explains the line “Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favourite song.” “Perfect” came in at number four on the charts when the song debuted and ranks as his 2nd most successful hits on Official Charts.
Thinking Out Loud
”Thinking Out Loud” was released on June 24th, 2014, with his second studio album, “x”. Athina Andrelos, Ed’s then-girlfriend, who he met in early 2014, inspired this song, and it was written with the help of a friend named Amy Wadge. “Thinking Out Loud” broke the record in the UK for most streams in a week, ranked 2nd in the US and 1st in the UK on the charts, and ranks 3rd as his most successful hits on Official Charts.
Shape of You
”Shape of You” was released on Mar. 3rd, 2017, and was included in his third studio album titled “÷“. It’s suspected, yet not confirmed, that this song is about his wife, Cherry, who was his girlfriend at the time and had just moved from the US to the UK to be with him. “Shape of You” is the first song to reach 3 billion streams on Spotify and ranks 1st as his most successful hits on the Official Charts.
Photograph
“Photograph” was released on June 24th, 2014, with his second studio album, “x”. Leading up to the release date, Ed was involved in a long-distance relationship with a woman by the name of Nina Nesbitt, a Scottish singer and songwriter, which led to the creation of this song. “Photograph” peaked at number 10 on US Billboard Hot 100 and ranks 6th as his most successful hits on the Official Charts.
Galway Girl
Irish influence is vast, it can easily be found in books and movies, in food, in online casinos offering Barcrest games, and even music is no exception. “Galway Girl” was released on Mar. 3rd, 2017, with his third studio album, “÷”. The lyrics of this song were inspired by Beoga, a Northern Irish folk band, who recorded in Ed’s home studio for a week. The majority of the song isn’t about anyone, in particular, it’s just a made-up story that he felt inclined to write after the band’s visit. “Galway Girl” ranks 7th as his most successful hits on Official Charts.

Sheeran’s track record speaks for itself when it comes to proving his talent and success. His songs continuously rank high, break records, showcase meaningful origins, and emotionally move millions of people.
