Ed Sheeran may be sitting atop iTunes with his comeback single, ‘Bad Habits’ (released June 25), but Twitter suggests he’s also #1 on another table as well: the sh*tlist of The Weeknd fans.
Look inside to see how the GRAMMY-winning Brit is being pelted with claims of ‘copycatting.’
Much like The Weeknd (born Abel Tesfaye) and his accompanying ‘After Hours’ era, Sheeran’s return to the music scene saw him showcasing aesthetics much different from that of his previous.
And while it’s not uncommon for artists to switch up their appearances to match an era’s theme, some fans of Tesfaye gave Ed’s latest cut – ‘Bad Habits’ – a side-eye once they clocked how ‘similar’ concepts and visuals from the tune’s music video were to those found aboard Canadian hitmaker’s ‘Blinding Lights.’
Primarily comparing the crooners’ apparel (i.e. suit & tie) and darker appeals, some even argued the 80’s-inspired sonic makeup of ‘Habits’ was too close to ‘Lights’ to be coincidental.

Watch ‘Bad Habits’ below and tell us if you agree.
It’s nothing like the weekend and the weekends not original either lol. The weekend is tiring and boring. Ed can sing circles around the weekend.
Preach!!!
They full of s*** …love the song Ed
Stan twitter love to worship The Weeknd. Ed will end up selling more, playing more and writing better music anyways. The Weeknd is anything but original.
Chile, this is WHY Ed is doing impersonations lol…… ☕️

And Flavor Abel said he’s not even done yet lol 🤴🏾🤳🏽💋
lol I was thinking of what to say but Live&love sums it up. Y’all ever seen this guy cover ‘…Baby One More Time’ or his song ‘Sing’? He sells out stadiums with only an acoustic guitar and loop pedal and writes his own sh*t. The Weeknd is anything but original, people just chose to hate on Ed Sheeran even though he is better at everything.
Yes!
After Hours was The Weeknd’s Thriller knock-off. Gloves included.
The mental illness in these comments. It’s literally the same person on different accounts.
Facts.
If you think that the styles of music are the same then it just shows how dumb you all are, just like Ashy CLOWN is dumb and has 𝓼𝓮𝔁 with it daddy, while it mommy films it all.
You got two tennis balls for an ass lol..no flavor hater 🤣
Ed Sheeran is awesome in his Bad Habits video. I love how it is put together and its the first time we have seen Ed in a different light or should I say dark lol. The idea of these vampire monsters running around causing havoc in a London province is brilliant. Never before have we seen Ed as a Vampire running around causing a lot of trouble and popping a balloon with a child monster now that’s adorable. Myself and my sister cant stop listening to and watching this amazing song and video.
It is the things yet to come as Ed the fellow Yorkshire lad is going in a different direction and we love it .. go Ed Sheeran give it all you got and what you can do.
well the song is awesome tho and super addictive no debate…
