Ed Sheeran, the famous singer-songwriter, has done it again! His latest single, “Azizam,” has quickly become a massive hit, reaching the No. 1 spot on multiple music charts in the UK and making a strong debut in the US. Known for his catchy tunes and heartfelt lyrics, Sheeran continues to prove why he’s one of the biggest music stars in the world.
“Azizam” – A Fast-Rising Hit
Just days after its release, “Azizam” has taken the music world by storm. In the UK, the song debuted in the top 10 on four different charts, including an immediate No. 1 on the Official Singles Sales Chart and the Official Singles Downloads Chart. This marks Sheeran’s 15th No. 1 on the downloads chart and his third on the overall sales chart.
While it didn’t quite hit No. 1 on the Official Singles Chart (the UK’s biggest music ranking), it still made an impressive debut at No. 3, giving Sheeran his 42nd top 10 hit. That means out of all the songs he’s released, half have made it to the top 10—a record very few artists can match!
Why “Azizam” Stands Out
The title “Azizam” might sound unusual to some fans, but the song itself is classic Ed Sheeran—catchy, emotional, and perfect for radio play. After releasing an all-acoustic album last year, which was loved by his core fans but didn’t aim for chart success, Sheeran is back with a song designed to be a global smash.
Hugh McIntyre, a music journalist, explains:
“Ed Sheeran has been relatively quiet in terms of radio-ready singles lately, as he recently opted to release an all-acoustic album that, while beloved by some fans, wasn’t built for chart success. Now, Sheeran reclaims his spot as one of the most reliable hitmakers in the world with ‘Azizam’—a title that might raise eyebrows, but a tune that’s already proving to be a fast favorite.”
Streaming Performance
While “Azizam” is selling extremely well, its streaming numbers are slightly lower compared to sales. On the Official Streaming Chart, the song debuted at No. 6, which is still a strong showing. Platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal have seen millions of plays, proving that fans are loving the new track.
US Chart Success
The song is also making waves in the United States. Early reports suggest “Azizam” is climbing the Billboard Hot 100, with strong digital sales and increasing radio play. Given Sheeran’s history of hits like “Shape of You” and “Perfect,” it’s no surprise that his latest release is already a contender for the top spot.
What’s Next for Ed Sheeran?
With “Azizam” off to a great start, fans are wondering if a new album is on the way. Sheeran has been known to surprise his audience, so another major project could be coming soon. Whether it’s more pop hits or another acoustic collection, one thing is certain—Ed Sheeran’s music continues to dominate charts worldwide.
