With sales of over 100,000 units, Sheeran is on course to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. It will give the ‘Shivers’ singer his fourth chart-topper. He previously topped it with his efforts: ‘No. 6 Collaborations Project,’ ‘Divide,’ and ‘Multiply.’
However, it is worth noting that the sales are considerably lower than his last proper studio album, ‘Divide.’ The album debuted with 451,000 units.
‘=’ was preceded by the top 10 hits ‘Shivers’ and ‘Bad Habits,’ as well as the promotional song ‘Visiting Hours.’

More than it deserves to sell. Trash album. He needs a 5 year hiatus. Tired of him. Each album is worse and worse. His first two were great
Boring🥱
He had a nice run. These singles just weren’t as strong at all
It’s so easy to predict sales these days.
I guessed Megan and Ed’s sales and got within 3k of accuracy.
It shouldn’t be so easy for me to guess in my head what these artists made just by thinking about radio and visual impact but whatever lol
You go, J! 👍
Honestly that album sounds stale af. His last album was 4 yrs ago & he couldn’t come up with a interesting album? 🤔
