Ed Sheeran scores seventh straight number one album with Autumn Variations
By Paul GlynnEntertainment reporter
Ed Sheeran has secured his seventh straight UK Number One album with the seasonally-fitting Autumn Variations.
It means all of The Singer 's albums, from his 2011 Debut + to his latest collection, have reached The Summit .
But He Said the latest achievement " means More Than any other award I've had" as this is the First Time he's released an album on his own label.
Autumn Variations, a collaboration with The National 's Aaron Dessner , is The Star 's second album of 2023.
As with its predecessor, - (Subtract), it finds Sheeran in reflective mode, surveying The Personal crises and upheavals his friends went through in 2022.
The 32-year-old Said the record was loosely inspired Edward Elgar , whose 1899 Enigma Variations also featured 14 sketches of his wife, friends and colleagues.
It received mixed reviews - both tricks and treats, to continue the October theme - on its release last week.
, Saying it was-" as flat and dull as a grey sky".
" Plodding, genre-hopping songs all end up as unimaginative ballads, their dreary lyrics littered with gibberish - though Sheeran's hooks remain strong, " she wrote.
for " a pumpkin-spiced snoozer".
" Four months after the soul-baring Subtract, Sheeran returns with a cloying, seasonal-themed endeavour, " He Said .
, Who Said : " There's no standout tune on here to match Elgar's Nimrod, of course, but there's enough soupy seasonal sentimentality to fill The Royal Albert Hall . "
while Saying Sheeran " has a way of taking mundane aspects of life and imbuing them with real feeling within a melody that sticks in the mind. " He added: " For all his apparent normality, that really is a rare skill".
Sheeran has shrugged off critics, telling their opinions are redundant in the streaming era.
" Why do you need to read a review? Listen to it. It's freely available! " He Said .
" Make Up your own mind. I would never read an album review and go, 'I'm not gonna listen to that now. '"
Instead, He Said it had been " amazing to get reconnected with the fans" over the summer, and promised a follow-up album next year.
One fan, Kari, was even treated to a surprise home visit from The Star who performed The Album 's lead single American Town for her and her friend in her Living Room .
Video of The Stunt was shared on Social Media during the week.
