As we reported here last week, Ed Sheeran was in shape to make history with ‘Shape of You’ and ‘Castle on the Hill’ – the highly anticipated leading releases from his forthcoming album, ‘Divide.’
Now that the Billboard Hot 100 has refreshed, news has officially come in indicating the singer/songwriter has indeed penciled his name into history books for a jaw-dropping feat.
‘[Ed Sheeran] becomes the first artist ever to debut in the top 10 with two songs simultaneously, as “Castle on the Hill” follows with an entrance at No. 6. [‘Shape’] rockets in powered most heavily by sales…240,000 first-week downloads sold in the week ending Jan. 12, according to Nielsen Music.
Sheeran simultaneously starts at No. 6 on the Hot 100 with “Castle on the Hill,” which opens at No. 2 on Digital Song Sales (171,000 sold)…

Congratulations dahhling!
His music is boring, but I love him so much.
Man! Anti has done so much for Rihanna! If she would release a music video, the song would be top 10/5 no time!
Of course they will try to manipulate the charts so that a white man can be the first to break such a record. Those songs are boring and dry! They always trying to make white artist outshine black artists who have put in major work for the same reward.
Who are “they”? The songs suck, but the numbers don’t lie
He’s cute. Dude wouldn’t know what hit him when I slide up in that ginger ass.
With that said, congrats.
lol ur a mess
JT is STILL charting how, it’s almost been a year. I feel the hype is going to hurt Ed this time around. And poor Zayn, even Taylor can’t get him a 2nd hit.
The movie will vault the Zayn/Taylor song…there’s no need to rush it…it would be a shock if it wasn’t lodged in the Top 10 after February 10th
How old is this guy? He looks hella old like that frat brother “legend”who graduated fifteen years ago but stays around and still goes to all the parties. Please tell me he’s in his late thirties.
Rihanna b**** ass needs to release a video for Love on the Brain. Like come on with it.
I know right. It’s annoying asf. Like she needs to drop love on the Brian and s** with me both at the same time with no warning. Her visuals this era did little for me honestly.
Justin is still charting because that song is powerful airplay and streaming hits. Congrats to Ed, I guess….
Bland boring, unexciting and unoriginal. I’ll be honest is other stuff is good but this just goes to show you that artist sell off their name alone. There is no way these singles should be topping anyone chart.
Boring. Can’t wait for Sia’s Move Your Body to smash the US and WW.
I have never heard either song but congratulations on your latest achievement Ed.
I like castle on the hill, but not sure about the other.
what a snooze fest…..i hope it free fall……..but love on the brain vid needs to be released
Bad and boujee will be back at #1 next week. And Rihanna p*ssing me off. Like I just wanna fight her on sight in the name of Love on the Brain and 2nd right hook for Kiss It Better…And I ain’t buying NONE of her shat
When will Beyonce?
When will your dumb ass leave the shelter youre in dummy dondy…u seem like u’ve got a bad case of dandruff or something smelly.stop hating on bey b**ch
