Having added yet another chart-topping album (‘Subtract‘) to his lengthy list of hits in May and following the win with the final dates of his massive, globe-trotting ‘Mathematics Tour,’ singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran doesn’t exactly have time to launch as large of a promo campaign for his new LP, ‘Autumn Variations.’

His first independent effort, ‘Autumn’ launched with little fanfare on September 29 but is still managing to rack up some handsome first-week sales as predicted by top industry analysts.

To tide them over, however, he’s lifted the lid on a bonus album.
