This is easily his worst single (and at least three of his other singles are some of the worst songs of all time) but easily his best video thanks to our generation's Meryl Streep.

I stan so hard for this. Fuck a burn rate. This is like NOTHING else on radio. Itβs the catchiest thing I may have ever heard. I canβt get enough.

I like "Galway Girl" since the first time I listened to maybe because I love how Irish it sounds like "Nancy Mulligan".As a single IΒ΄ve always thought it would work more in the UK than US.

I just can't imagine this is going to be a big hit. I sure hope it is, but it basically was already a single in the US. Didn't it sell over 1 million copies as well? It was constantly on iTunes charts and satellite radio for weeks/months as well. But it might be a nice little spring smash as well. I still think maybe there is going to be a remix for the U.S. The song is essentially only 2:26 long with a 0:24 outro. I think it would be awesome to remix it. It just feels so short and such a demo right now. If youβre talking the US, no this isnβt close to 1 million sold. Itβs been a consistent seller but digital sales have plummeted. Castle on the hill is around 900k now and i know this hasnβt sold quite that level

I thought Perfect was dribble and saccharine sweet. While Galway Girl is not the best song in the world (it wasn't trying to be), Galway Girl is a catchy, fun, and different sounding track. I hope this does well. So far Ed is 2 for 4 ( I also liked Castle on the Hill).

This song is horrendous and typifies all of my Ed Sheehan hates. Load of old shit.

Outside of getting listed under Cool New Music, there's been absolutely zero push for this for airplay yet. Not even an adds date. "Supermarket Flowers" has gotten more of a push than this as of recently, lol. What surprises me is the lack of reaction to the CNM list, though. It's not moving. In fact, the only reason it has a bullet on pop right now is because out of the four stations spinning it, the fourth one added it and played it 39 times this week. The other three actually decreased spins this week. On Hot AC, it's a non-mover. So strange. It does have more airplay on pop than I expected, though.

I feel like COTH pushed the limits of what a track by a very big act could do on radio after it had been a hit everywhere else in today's globalized and connected world. It wasn't a case like New Rules or Rather Be, where it was a track by a virtual unknown. The high burn rate it had from the beginning showed that, and this was with every single of his since Don't receiving very positive scores until then. If they go full steam with this, I can see this getting into the top 20 on name, and the sputtering out somewhere there due to it having had exposure from being a big hit last year.
Although technically different, I feel like Sing covered all the bases this does much better in every way.

I want New Man as a single before the era ends, despite it being a rip-off of Don't.

I heard Nancy Mulligan on the radio yesterday, I wonder if it is the new Irish/UK/European/non-US single? Granted they were playing a bunch of Irish songs for St Patrick's Day so it could have been that but I'm not sure

I do feel like best case for this is top 20 if they push it, because it feels like old news already. The lack of effort so far doesn't seem promising.

Not the biggest Ed Sheeran fan, but this is his best song to date IMO. Was actually thinking this could fit in well at Alternative as well since it's so unique sounding. Great song.

Could any spin gain over the past week have anything to do with St Patricks day?

Removed from Cool New Music... Were they seriously just "pushing" it for St. Patrick's Day?

Maybe they hoped St Patrick's Day would kick it off and it didn't work and legitimately flopped? Seemed like an obvious single choice except it didn't even do anything.

It's so weird because they didn't even send it for adds or even try to connect it with St. Patrick's Day other than just listing it under Cool New Music a week before. They really could have gotten a small annual hit out of this if they had started a push in February, given it an adds date, and do some cool St. Patrick's Day themes promo in early through mid-March. Such a waste. Oh well. On to... "Happier"? "Supermarket Flowers"? "Dive"? Who the hell knows at this point. #mess

I'd be okay if they ended the era now. I don't think there's anything left on the album I'd be into hearing for months and months again. Perfect has tired me out on Ed right now.
Realistically, that likely won't happen so on to the next.

He needs to finish the era off with Happier. The pre-chorus is absolute bliss.

If I never hear Perfect again, it'll be too soon. I wouldn't mind Happier getting released as a final single, but I'd also be fine with not having to hear him on the radio anymore for awhile.

Finish the era. The four singles were the only obvious hits.
