Ed Sheeran Creates And Breaks New Zealand Records with Album ÷ (Divide)
The
Official NZ Music Charts have confirmed that all 16
tracks off the deluxe version of Ed
Sheeran’s new album ÷
(pronounced “divide”) have made the NZ Top 40 today. The
feat of all of an album’s tracks charting has never been
achieved before, thus setting a brand new
record.
“It’s a phenomenon of the new age in music
availability, and streaming in particular, that this sort of
chart dominance is even possible – but it’s also a
reflection of the extent to which Ed Sheeran’s music
resonates with the New Zealand public that he’s able to
rule the chart quite so convincingly” says Recorded Music
NZ Chart Compiler Paul Kennedy.
Listen to Ed Sheeran’s new album ÷
(divide)
New Zealand is the first market to see this kind
of unprecedented achievement happen – but it is an
accomplishment that will likely be repeated in the next
couple of days as Ed Sheeran’s album debuts in the charts
around the globe.
÷
(divide) is on course to become one of the most
significant global album releases of 2017 and sees the
26-year-old Suffolk native in his finest form yet. The
genre-defying LP is the result of an artist who consistently
pushes himself in new directions, uncovering fresh musical
ground using a seemingly limitless musical vocabulary.
Drawing inspiration from a host of personal experiences and
subjects, Ed takes you through a hugely personal
journey.
Ed also recently announced his upcoming UK and
European tour where he will be joined by fellow Brit and
upcoming pop starlet Anne-Marie. About her,
Ed has said “I’m so happy Anne-Marie is joining me for
the tour. We’ve known each other for a long time now -
she’s super talented and is going to be massive in
2017!” Anne-Marie has today unveiled the official video
for her new single ‘Ciao
Adios’ which followed on from her feature in
the smash hit ‘Rockabye’ by
Clean Bandit.
