X is 2xP with the RIAA! www.atlanticrecords.com/posts/ed-sheerans-x-achieves-rare-riaa-double-platinum-success-23716Ed Sheeran's "X" Achieves Rare RIAA Double Platinum Success!DECEMBER 17, 2015 By Janine McElhone In June of 2014, Ed Sheeran's sophomore album X took the world by storm. It reached #1 on album charts in 14 countries around the world before achieving platinum sales in 18 countries (including the US and United Kingdom, where it was the best selling album of 2014). A year and a half later, the album is still a global sensation. X has been certified 2x Multi-Platinum by the RIAA, commemorating sales of 2 million in the United States alone! This achievement makes X one of only 4 albums to achieve multi-platinum success since 2014. Ed's hit single "Thinking Out Loud" is also 5x RIAA platinum certified and nominated for a trio of highly coveted GRAMMY Awards in categories of Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance.

X has now spent 80 weeks in the top 10 in Australia, the longest time in the top 10 in that market, breaking the 78 week run of Shania Twain's Come On Over.
It's also on the cusp of being 9x Platinum in the UK and will likely reach Diamond Status by the end of the year with the new album coming later in the year. The only albums from this decade to have sold more are 21 and 25 (the latter has technically yet to overtake it I think, but will do so within the next month). On the most recent chart, it is stationary at #16.

Not only did the singer/songwriter score his first Grammy Award (song of the year, for "Thinking Out Loud"), but he also celebrates the song's parent album, x, reaching 2 million in U.S. sales. The set, released in 2014, sold another 5,000 copies in the week ending Feb. 11, bringing its total sales tally to 2.04 million, according to Nielsen Music. x, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, follows Sheeran's debut full-length effort, +. The latter has sold 1.1 million, and peaked at No. 5 on the chart. x launched three top 10-charting singles on the Billboard Hot 100: "Don't" (peaking at No. 9), "Thinking Out Loud" (No. 2) and "Photograph" (No. 10).

In it's 104th charting week in the UK, this has yet to leave the top 30. It has spent 99 weeks in the top 20, and 77 weeks in the top 10. It's also had the second most weeks at #1 there for this decade with 13 (25 has 12 so far).
With the new album coming later this year, I don't see this leaving the charts anytime soon.
