This is my favorite on the album, so I am glad to see it released in the US.

Personally, I'm not so into Ed Sheeran, but "Don't" proved me otherwise since I really like that song. Having said that, I have been listening to "Thinking Out Loud" because of the Official Chart Show and it has grown on me, so I hope it really does very well in the States. Anyway, about time!

Yeah, I really like this one. This is also one of his best vocal performances, IMO.

YES! Finally! Smash, #1s, 2015 year-end stuff, Grammys, etc. (I can dream) Time to milk those self-conscious White Women and their insecurities for all their worth!

Lurker coming out of the shadows here...I'm going to give this one a shot and see how it does. Not my favorite Ed work...but it is outstanding vocally.
That being said, am I the only one who hears hints of "Lets Get it On" in that baseline?

Why has he been hiding this ELITE vocal ability? He's always had an incredible sense of rhythm and a great tone to his voice, but this is KILLER technically. I'm actually preferring it to Sam Smith's stuff at the moment.

Ed has released numerous songs that showcase his vocal ability, but they are mostly album tracks, he truly has one of the best voices, and my personal favorite male in the industry! <3

Well, this is indeed good and has quality but it has yet to grow on me and it is not exactly my cup of tea. He's super talented and has the momentum so I do hope this is another big hit for him.

I think this is going to be his biggest hit. It's doing great on hot ac and has a quite high position on itunes considering the airplay. Great video and one of my favourite Ed's songs

Is he promoting this song in the US already because I noticed it's ITunes position is very good. Is this a single internationally already. This reminds me of when Jason Derulo's ("Trumpet's") was very high on ITunes before being released as a US single.

This reminds me of when Jason Derulo's ("Trumpet's") was very high on ITunes before being released as a US single. It's already Top 30 at hot adult contemporary. And when you combine that with the general buzz an official single from a big star can inherently receive - especially one this good, one that was showcased by a contestant on The Voice and one that exists in this sales climate - it's position makes sense (but is also quite encouraging)

Has there been a radio edit released? The album cut is almost 5 minutes long, so surely there will be one if there is not already.

Nah, this is well plannified not like Trumpets release (Jason kill the buzz releasing Wiggle, which is one of the worst songs of the year, before releasing Trumpets). This started to chart due to the video. In fact this song is bubbling on top 40 UK even before Don't was released as second single there (Thinking out loud has the record of longest climb to number one on UK chart). In the USA this is doing well on itunes and billboard hot 100 since the video, and when the buzz was starting to decrease it was released to hot AC (i think it was charting before the proper release), and it's rising fast there.
I suppose they'll hold the release to pop a bit due to the fact that Don't not peaked yet (but it's a question of one or two weeks) and the freeze (not the best part of the year to release a new song).

This has been huge in the UK , still selling large amounts after 6 months on the chart , it took around 22 weeks to get to number 1 , unheard of , because radio was playing " sing " so much . Should be huge in US as well .

Ed's on a roll. I still think this is a bore for him but there's no denying its likelihood to blow up in the new year.

I'm glad he's coming for that third single. I don't mind the original but I'm living for the Alex Adair Remix. I think its the vocal that gets me though on either version.
