Singer-songwriter sensation Ed Sheeran has spoken of his amazement that his debut album + managed to reclaim the #1 spot in the UK Albums chart months after its release.
The ginger-haired guitarist burst into the music scene with impressive force last year, going from an unknown artist to a 2x platinum selling star in incredible time. When he released his first ever signed record in September last year, it rocketed to #1 now its done the same again, making it the first #1 album of 2012.
It amazes me, Sheeran confessed. I don't know where these people who keep buying my music every week come from or why they keep buying it. I was told statistically somebody is more likely to buy a song if they hear it three times on the radio. I suppose because my music has had more radio plays, more people have picked it up. It fascinates me.
It looks like that record might not be the only Sheeran material set to top the charts as he teased fans about an up and coming collaboration with an American superstar.
I'm recording something very special over the next two and a half days. I'm very excited.
