Controversial opinion on the internet: Ed Sheeran has been one of my favorite artists of the past decade. I think Multiply is the best mainstream album of the 2010s, and Divide has some of my favorite songs ever. Even though I havent been the biggest fan of his last two albums, both (especially Equals) have some damn great songs. I've heard it said that he doesn't have a signature hit, but I'd like to see if that holds up.

I think "Thinking Out Loud" will ultimately come out on top, but right now it's "Shape of You."

My favourite is "The A Team" but I'm aware that "Shape of You" is his biggest hit. Voted for "The A Team."

Surprised that Shape of You is running away with it. Like I know it's easily his biggest hit, but I figured when people think of Ed Sheeran, they think of his romantic love ballads like Perfect and Thinking Out Loud

I feel like chart wise "Shape Of You" is the clear winner here. Radio wise / Department & Grocery Store wise, "Shape Of You" also dominates- you are destined to hear it play on those like all the time lol.
Wedding / "Feel-Good" Montages on Facebook wise, his signature song would be either "Perfect" or "Thinking Out Loud".

Ed's signature song, for me, is Perfect. It encapsulates what I think of when I think of his public image at its core: acoustic guitar, almost every song being about the overly positive and sappy side of romance, and being played excessively by radio. Thinking Out Loud fits this description too, but Perfect felt a lot bigger to me than TOL did. (Then again, I started actively watching the charts just around the time Perfect was released.)
Ed's signature song is Shape of You due to how absolutely massive it is. It's a top ten song on the all time charts. That should say enough about its level of exposure.

There's a reason the Doja song goes like: call him ed sheeran he in love with my body.
