ThisGuyTony 30,926 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 “Andrew Unterberger: A top 5 bow for Sheeran is hardly a disaster, but it is a disappointment, particularly given how all-out Sheeran went with the promotional blitz -- the high-concept music video, the week of Late Late Show hosting, the extensive teasing pre-release -- and how big an early airplay boost he's being given, with the song already No. 11 on Radio Songs in its first full week of release. Given all that, to still have four songs separating him and the top spot marks a bit of a soft landing for Ed.“ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimisaMonster 31,073 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 The song is basic and people are finally holding him accountable to step it up...this was not it and the imagery was a complete knock off of the Weeknd RECENT era...

Rat Boy 43,594 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 It is not realistic to expect him to release smash hits year after year - that type of fame is not sustainable for anyone. "****ing rat" - @Dynamite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIM820 1,842 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I really hate when they have staffers commenting on stuff like unless it’s like a retrospective look at charts from a decade ago. It comes across like sports- where people win or lose. This is music and art for entertainment purposes. It’s so weird how we’ve allowed the two to get so intertwined but of course it’s business.

Galagala 4,616 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Okay I didn't expect this kind of negativity from Billboard happening to Ed Sheeran. I mean he's like the male counterpart of Taylor Swift in music industry for GP. I dislike both of them tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serial Chiller 8,044 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Nnn this gives me 2013 ptsd I have learned not to pile upon an artist when they're doing lower than expectations. Just have to look at our own backyard. Also the media and public are QUICK to shift narrative. Just a low first week and he's apparently 'over' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure this reeks of irony, didn’t he go on a whole rant talking about how “Cheap Thrills” was a rip off of “Shape of You” a few years back?? ~staying stupid through my holy days~ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
