‘Overwhelmed’ Ed Sheeran speaks out about new music response
Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 48 hours, you'll know that guitar-wielding singer Ed Sheeran returned with not one but two new singles yesterday.
The star took a year-long sabbatical from singing and social media, but came back with a bang 365 days later.
The songs, Shape of You and Castle On the Hill, are currently enjoying the top spots on the iTunes chart.

"Now, please blast them out as loud as you can from every speaker you can find, as many times as you can! Lots of love," he finished.
The singer is set to make history if he secures the number one and number two spots in the official single charts.
We can't wait for the rest of the album to be revealed.
