Ed Sheeran makes chart history: 'It's the cherry on top of an amazing year'

British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has achieved an incredible feat thanks to the continued success of his latest album, 'x'.

The record has now had the longest reign in the UK Top 10 Official Albums Chart for a British artist ever and has spent a total of 73 consecutive weeks in the chart. Speaking about this amazing achievement, the 'Photograph' sensation explained that it's an honour:

“2015 is definitely going to be one to remember. Wembley in the summer was such a big career highlight and now to hear that I’ve landed the longest run in the Top 10 for a British artist has really put the cherry on top. To all my brilliant fans – thank you!”

He recently told Billboard magazine that his next album will be "brutally honest": "There's a lot more heart in it. It's a lot more honest than the last record. The last record was honest. There was a couple of songs like 'The Man', which I kind of wish I didn't put on. But there's probably seven songs on this new record that I wish I didn't put on when I release it. They're all a bit too brutally honest."
