The pop sensation has also been awarded the UK’s most-played artist for 2021.

It’s a title he has claimed every year since 2018, except for 2020, when Dua Lipa briefly replaced him.

It’s the fourth time in five years that Sheeran has been named the UK’s most-played artist, calculated by plays on radio, TV, pubs, clubs and shops.
