Ed Sheeran - Azizam

I'm genuinely quite horrified at the ORWELLIAN tactics being engaged to force the British public to make this song a hit.

Is Ed Sheeran the deep state?
 
I had the same evil Spotify Payola auto-playing this after my actual playlist (featuring ZERO Sheeran or Sheeran-adjacents so no blaming algorithms) finished today

If it happens a second time, I am deleting the app and consuming music exclusively via blowing into empty wine bottles

He's managed a second week in the top 3

I don't think we're free after all

The evil payola is working

:nononono:
 
Even more saccharine than anyone could have even feared.

So cliched AI can absolutely write this

💩
 
Inevitable

He tried a less cynical approach last album with the folksy "Autumn Variations" and scored ZERO hit singles

This AI playlist bait meanwhile is on its fourth week in the top 5

He's never going heartfelt ever again
 
The new one’s first day on Spotify:

#54 Global - 2,022,743
#70 US - 499,171
#33 UK - 177,719
 
Have we heard the new one, the one that is currently beating both Sabrina Carpenter and Mariah Carey on iTunes UK at #1?

I won’t go into too much detail but I’ll just call it possibly the WORST song he’s ever done.

Let that sink in!
 
I’m aghast at how bad it is. What genre is he trying to appropriate?
 
He usually does disproportionately well on iTunes though, doesn't he?

I've not heard it and will happily avoid it until I'm at my mum's on Sunday and she'll have commercial radio on. I give it about 15 minutes from walking in the door.
 
I’m not going to lie, I actually don’t think it’s too bad! But to be honest I wouldn’t be able to identify any of his since the one with Camilla Cabello about 7 years ago so no idea if this is better or worse than the rest.
 
I won't make any attempt to listen to anything by the DREADED PIGFOOT.
 
Another new single. Debuted at #30 UK Spotify. Outside the top 100 for US. Off most the charts in its second day.

 
It’s kind of a phyrric victory when Benson Boone/Alex Warren/Lewis Capaldi has risen to claim his crown.
 
WHY WOULD YOU EVEN PUT THAT IN HERE @POP!

He’s doing perfectly fine in the UK (the amount of people thinking he’s a flop on other sites because he isn’t doing his numbers from ten years ago is wild), but it looks like the album isn’t going to do terribly fantastic first week - at least on streaming, so I imagine it’ll drop off quite quickly.
