Ed Sheeran’s “X” becomes fastest-selling album of 2014. It has sold 182,000 copies in its first week, 14,000 more than Coldplay managed with “Ghost Stories” in May.
The singer’s second album, which is pronounced as “multiply” rather than the letter “X,” also includes his first number one single, “Sing.”
Ed Sheeran appeared on stage at Glastonbury this weekend after country-singer Dolly Parton, 68, who drew more than 80,000 music fans to her show.
He performed on the Pyramid Stage on Sunday evening and kicked off his performance with a rendition of his 2011 single “You Need Me, I Don’t Need You.”
