12 weeks at #1, a record-breaking 33 weeks in the Top 10, the biggest hit of 2017, one of the biggest hits of the 2010's and of all time. I think it's safe to say that this track single-handedly killed the Trop Pop genre all together.

...plus, the most streamed song on Apple and Spotify and the second most viewed on YouTube (over 7 BILLION streams WW). Over 45 million sold WW (SPS), Grammy awarded song, #1 on Year-end charts of 18 countries (US, UK, Canada, Germany, Australia). After 2 years, it's still charting in some countries and currently, it's #51 on WW iTunes chart and #79 on WW Spotify. SONG of the century.

One of the hottest songs of the 2010's. Played to death and I didn't tire of it for one second.

I know it's cool to hate this on this forum, but I loved it from first listen. One of the most iconic songs of the decade. Everyone seems to know it.

I wasn't big on this at all at first, but yeah. Its success is undeniable. Perfectly crafted pop track.

He's also the only songwriter to have penned a track that finished in the Year-End Top 2 for 4 consecutive years. Attachment Deleted

I completely forgot Shape of You is now 2 years old. But when I first heard this song, it completely surprised me.

Never went crazy over this as everyone else did, but this was decent.

I can't believe this song already is two years old. This was completely inescapable and while radio burned this on me, it's a good song and deserves to be one of the biggest songs of the decade/century.
(I wish Castle on the Hill had the same success of this song)

It's not a terrible song. I love the mash-up with Ace Of Base's "All That She Wants".

(I wish Castle on the Hill had the same success of this song) Maybe Castle would have done better if it hadn't been released so soon after. Perfect came later and was much bigger; I think there should have been at least one more single from "Divide" (I'd vote for "Galway Girl" myself.) And I agree it's hard to think of this as "nostalgia" considering how much it still gets played, including as a CHR recurrent. Heard it as such just today.

"Galway Girl" was kind a single I mean he made the video and over here they played a lot on the radio.

Loved this from the first listen, but the first two singes off the previous album were better.

Castle On The Hill is way better than this song, I never really hated Shape Of You but the overplay killed it for me over time. At least Queen Kandi and TLC got credits on another #1 song!

The Stormzy remix made this song good. Otherwise I didn't like it, Castle on the Hill was way better and here in the UK its probably the most overplayed song of all time.

This got overplayed to the point that it couldn't grow back on me. I hate this song. COTH is way better and I wished both songs switched runs.

Is the song enjoyable? Yeah, it's pretty cute for what it is. Is it among Ed Sheeran's best? Not really, I enjoy a lot of his other songs more. Is it Best of 2017 material?
