Thinking Out Loud has topped the Official Singles Chart after a mammoth 19 weeks in the Top 40, becoming the song with the longest climb from entering the Top 40 to the Number 1 spot in history.
This isn’t the first Official Chart record this year for Ed, who has just finished playing to over 290,000 people on his recent UK tour. The singer/songwriter’s second studio album X is also the current fastest-selling and longest-running Number 1 album of 2014.
