Vinyl continues to grow every year so we expect that Ed will go on to sell many more copies in 2018, as he's clearly made a must-have album for record collectors.

With his world tour running until November - including a massive 27-date stadium run in the UK this summer - this album certainly won't be left behind in 2017.
