"The A Team," easily.
The rest of his lead singles range from "awful garbage I do not ever want to hear in full again" to "if this came on at a coffee shop I wouldn't feel an urge to leave immediately, but if they played it twice I can't promise I wouldn't storm out".

to note: SOY and Castle On The Hill are co-lead singles, but I chose SOY since it feels more like a lead from that album + COTH would've won this poll easily.

"The A Team" is beautifully written about a dark and complicated subject. Its simple production allows for the story and his voice to take center stage unlike most of his other lead singles which are more about the beat. His "+" album is one of my favourites of the last decade.

If Castle On The Hill had been included in the poll (being what amounts to the B-side to Shape Of You), it would've gotten my vote easily. Castle On The Hill is one of the best hit songs of the 2010s, and I am not exaggerating.

The A Team. I’m liking Bad Habits less and less by the day.
I Don’t Care remains flawless despite the popular opinion.

2. Shape of You
3. The A-Team
4. Bad Habits
5. I Don't Care
All are very good; I'd call the top 2 a tie broken by the fact that "Sing" wasn't overplayed. "The A-Team" is less obviously catchy than the others but that and the more serious lyrics make its success perhaps the most impressive in a sense (that and the fact that he didn't then have a prior track record of hits.)

1. The A Team (beautiful, iconic)
2. I Don't Care (actually grew on me over time and since I never paid too much attention to it it isn't as overplayed to me)
3. Shape Of You (overplay, but great song)
4. Bad Habits (cheap copy, not bad but nothing groundbreaking either)
5. Sing (ew, awful, skip)
Castle on the Hill is easily above all of these

His second singles are far superior for the most part. Castle on the Hill, Cross Me, and Don't are all superior to their predecessors.

"Bad Habits" is the first Ed Sheeran song that I've added to my library, so that one.
