Why is Ed Sheeran the best?
Sheeran's musical style has been described as pop, folk-pop, and soft rock. He also incorporates rap into his music. Sheeran has sold more than 150 million records worldwide, making him one of the world's best-selling music artists. He has 101 million RIAA-certified units in the US, and two of his albums are in the list of the best-selling albums in UK chart history. In December 2019, the Official Charts Company named him artist of the decade, with the most combined success in the UK album and singles charts in the 2010s.

One of the most amazing things about Ed, is that he really is an amazing musician. Every single sound created, is one done by him with his feet and a loop pedal. Just give Ed a guitar and a loop pedal and he will be able to make his songs sound amazing. The set-up process with the looping is so methodical and it is amazing to watch at his concerts.
