Ed Sheeran‘s “Love Song” is still making history.

Full story below…

Nearly a decade after its release, his timeless ballad ‘Thinking Out Loud’ has officially surpassed 3 billion streams on Spotify, marking his fourth song to reach the milestone.

Originally written as a love letter inspired by his then-girlfriend, the track was crafted with the intention of becoming a modern wedding anthem, and it delivered.

The song’s legacy hasn’t been without its challenges. It was at the center of a highly publicized copyright lawsuit alleging similarities to Marvin Gaye’s ‘Let’s Get It On’.

After extensive testimony from musicologists, Sheeran ultimately won the case.

At the 2016 GRAMMY Awards, the single earned Sheeran two of the night’s biggest honors: Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance.

Now, ten years later, the track continues to prove its staying power, turning streams into career milestones.
