Ed Sheeran Makes Chart History With New Songs

It's a good time to be Ed Sheeran as the Brit celebrates a monumental milestone on the Billboard Hot 100 with his two recent singles: "Shape Of You" and Castle on the Hill."

On Tuesday afternoon (January 17), Billboard announced that the singer/songwriter had made two major debuts on the weekly chart, becoming the first artist to ever splash into the top 10 tier with two cuts. While "Castle on the Hill" landed at the No. 6 position, "Shape of You" took the cake as the No. 1 song in the country. As if it couldn't get any better, it also marked the Brit singer's very first chart-topper on the Hot 100. 

Sheeran took to Instagram to celebrate the milestone with a photo of him and one mega-sized bottle of champagne. 

"It feels amazing to debut at No. 1 in the U.S. especially after being away for so long," he said in a statement. "Topping the Hot 100 for the first time AND to have 'Castle on the Hill' also debut in the top 10…I'm speechless. I really wanted to come back with those two songs to show the different sides of my music and what people can expect on ÷. The response to both songs has been absolutely incredible. I can’t wait to share the rest of the album."

Sheeran is set to drop his new album, Divide, which features both cuts, on March 3rd, so this marks yet another indicator of a successful era for the hitmaker. Peep the entire top 10 tier on the newest Billboard Hot 100 below!
