Ed’s third record set a record as the fastest-selling album by a male artist ever with 672,000 sales in its first week, and followed that with another 304,000 combined units sold over the last seven days, to ensure it topped the Official Albums Chart again
All 16 of ‘Divide’s songs are in the Top 40, with nine in the Top 10.
This tops off an exciting week for Ed, after he was confirmed as the final headliner for Glastonbury.

He said in the clip: “Hello from Turin, we’re here starting the tour off and I want to make an announcement, which is I’m headlining Glastonbury on the Sunday night, which is awesome.”
Ed – who previously played the festival in 2011 and 2014 – joins previously announced headliners Foo Fighters and Radiohead.
