Retour fracassant pour Ed Sheeran.

Deux ans après la ferveur qu'a suscitée son deuxième album "x",

écoulé à 7 millions d'exemplaire dans le monde,

le chanteur britannique a démarré l'année 2017 en fanfare,

signant une série de records historiques avec ses deux nouveaux singles.

 "Shape of You" et "Castle on the Hill" ont directement

pris la tête des charts au Royaume-Uni, en Australie ou en Nouvelle-Zélande,

un exploit que personne n'avait réalisé dès la première semaine !

 

Pour l'heure, avantage au premier titre : "Shape of You",

 à l'origine destiné à Rihanna, se classe en effet numéro un

des ventes en France et aux Etats-Unis.

 

Sur Spotify, le tube compte déjà 120 millions d'écoutes

et son compteur YouTube affiche 100 millions de vues.

Mais "Castle on the Hill" n'a pas dit son dernier mot...

 

Le clip a été tourné fin décembre à Framlingham, sa ville natale.

Sur Twitter, le chanteur a précisé que tous les acteurs présents dans la vidéo

 

faisaient partie de son ancien lycée.
