Ed Sheeran's 'The A Team' goes double Platinum

British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran is now enjoying yet another career milestone after his breakthrough single 'The A Team' has been certified as 2x Platinum. 

The British Phonographic Industry posted a tweet this afternoon that confirmed the exciting news and a double Platinum certification means that it has now sold over 1.2 million copies as Platinum certification for singles is 600,000 copies. 

The BPI wrote (July 3): "Congratulations Ed! The single 'The A Team' by @edsheeran has gone 2x Platinum! #bpiAwards." Upon seeing the amazing statistic, Sheeran replied to the BPI and tweeted: "@bpi_music I feel every time you tweet me you tell me something awesome. I like you."

Sheeran also celebrated another incredible chart achievement recently as his song 'Thinking Out Loud' has now spent 52 consecutive weeks in the singles chart Top 40, and Pharrell Williams' 2013 song 'Happy' nearly became the first track to reach the year-long record but slipped out after 49 weeks in the Top 40.
