Ed Sheeran Is Happy For Harry Styles As Sign Of The Times Tops The Charts And Pushes Him To Number Two

Ed Sheeran’s total domination of the singles charts has ended, but because he is basically the nicest man on the planet he doesn’t even mind. 

The Shape Of You singer is totally cool that his mate Harry Styles is now at number one with his new track, Sign Of The Times. In fact he’s even tweeted about the success the One Direction star has had with his debut single.

When Radio 1 tweeted the news that Ed was now number two, the radio station predicted that the Shape Of You singer would be happy for Harry. And you know what they were right, as Ed wrote back, “Genuinely am.”

See? Ed really is the nicest. And having the number one album for six weeks running probably helps to soften the blow. That and he’s still got the number two AND three singles with Shape Of You and Galway Girl.

Of course, if Harry and Ed ever released a duet then they’d both be at Number One, possibly for forever!
