Ed Sheeran wrote 2 of this week’s Top 10 songs in the world

[TaylorSwift 162,717]

As a performer, Ed Sheeran hasn’t reached the top 10 on Billboard’s global charts in over a year and hasn’t topped the list since 2021. But as a songwriter, he bookends the top 10 of this week’s Billboard Global 200 (dated Aug. 8) with cowriter credits.

For the fourth consecutive week, Shakira and Burna Boy’s “Dai Dai (FIFA World Cup Official Song 2026)” leads the Global 200, which counts Sheeran as one of five writers, alongside Shakira, Jon Bellion, Ahmed Saghir and Alexander “A.C.” Castillo Vasquez.

Plus, KATSEYE debuts at No. 10 with “Animal,” cowritten by Omar Fedi, Johnny McDaid, Blake Slatkin, and Sheeran.

Five years ago, Sheeran’s first Global 200 No. 1 was also as a cowriter on someone else’s song. He topped the chart by penning BTS’ “Permission to Dance,” which led the July 24, 2021-dated list.

And they're both ass so that says a lot about his songwriting skills! 

[Red 99,197]

I don’t think he’s a bad songwriter tbh, his music lacks interesting  production, I’m sure the right person would make him give the gays everything they wanted, if he wanted to give the gays everything they wanted, but his target audience is not us

If at least it was for as long as you love me or a JB oldie like that...

Not the trashy tune that also gonna make Nicki richer or rather less broke.

I was gonna say “he has a perfect face for songwriting” but that would be mean so i’m NOT going to say it, because i’m nice
