I think this won't be near close to his massive hits like TOL, SOY or Perfect but more on the level of Sing and COTH.

I think it's disappointing that this isn't a lead single. The release song reminded me that I used to really like this go before Divide was kinda not great and then the duet album was obviously an abomination. But this feels way more laid back and mellow. much more leaning into Ed's strengths.

I still think this is gonna end up being the lead or whatever if it smashes. It's happened before ("God's Plan", "Without Me", "Never Really Over", "WAP" whenever Cardi is done recording).

I'd say that's a pretty good update!
I really like this.

I really like a lot of ES’s material, this has FLOP written all over it unless of course which is likely, the payola train comes through.
I fully expect his version of “folklore” in 2021 and it will be an above average attempt, and then I expect another dozen attempts at “folklore” that will be pretty poor attempts. Will it change the CHR chart? I don’t think so.

Song reminds me of Nelly Furtado's "All Good Things Come to End" a little bit.
Not sure if this is his "folklore" attempt. Ed's music has always kind of sounded like this.

ehh, all of his first couple singles in every era since his debut have been extremely, and looking back uncomfortably, POP.
Ed Sheeran singing "Shape of You", and the lyrical content is so ingenuine and laughable. Come on Ed...
I'd rather hear this from him though.

this has FLOP written all over it I just don't understand this. I think this is not only his best in a while, but also the best thing released by anyone in a while.

Let me be very clear, this is a good song. I like it a lot. It just does not fit the CHR/Pop landscape at all. The numbers aren’t very good. Expecting this to plummet in two weeks.

Expecting this to plummet in two weeks. who cares about the CHR/Pop landscape? who cares about the numbers? who cares if it plummets? it's still the best thing released by anyone in a while. Mood spent how many weeks at #1 on Pop and I think it's one of the worst songs of all time. You're insinuating that because it isn't successful, therefore it isn't quality. I know you say you like it, but then the charts shouldn't matter. They don't matter at all. It's still a fantastic song.

People can love flops, I was just stating, chart-wise, this will be by far his weakest chart performance for a debut single, and it's my favorite out of all of them A lot of people in here love the charts, like myself, unfortunately the charts are going to probably die pretty soon. Between ClearChannel\IHeartRadio, there is really no creativity left to the programmers whether people like songs or not, and that's pretty sad.

Between ClearChannel\IHeartRadio, there is really no creativity left to the programmers whether people like songs or not, and that's pretty sad. First Billboard pop songs chart debuted in july 1940 and then most played by Djs in 1945 Hot 100 has been going 1958 Radio&Records/Mediabase CHR since 1973 Modern Rock/Alternative 1988 Radio Songs (Billboard) 1990 Mainstream Top 40 1992 Rhythmic Top 40 1992 Hot AC 1994 Alternative 1994 Rhythmic 1994 Adult Top 40 1995 Active Rock 1995 etc.. And now we have global, latin, streaming and charts for every genre in existence. What do you mean charts will die "soon"? this right here is a very outlandish prediction, Radio was "proclaimed" death in 1981 and we're in 2021 and it's still going, lol.

This has held up a lot better in its second week than the updates initially projected. It's getting the daily spins now it should have been getting a week ago lol. Strange to see that happening over the freeze, though. I figured if it was going to redirect its course to getting good daily increases it would have been next week at the earliest.

It took a bit of time, but this finally clicked for me. The "Ooooh I won't be silent and I won't let go” part is really melodically pleasing. Pretty song.
