This is actually kinda fun so I decided to do another one. Ed Sheeran has been one of the biggest worldwide act this generation and has several big hits, we all know Shape of You is biggest hit but, what about after that?

It’s Perfect, with Thinking Out Loud in third. Now his best? As a big fan, I’d go with The A Team, Lego House, Don’t, Photograph, Castle on the Hill, Galway Girl and Overpass Graffiti (not in that exact order)

I think "Thinking Out Loud" will stand the test of time better if that's the metric we are going by.

Perfect though it is his best in my opinion.

Perfect was his second-biggest hit in terms of chart run at the time, but in the long run I think both that song and Thinking Out Loud have surpassed SOY in popularity. I don’t hear SOY too much out in the “wild” anymore, while TOL and Perfect have soundtracked so many weddings and romantic playlists over the years.

Definitely Perfect, though I think you could make a solid case for Thinking Out Loud.

In retrospect, I should've added Photograph to this list.

At this point, I think Perfect and SoY are 1a/1b, and an argument can be made that Perfect is Ed’s biggest song ever. The discussion should begin with Ed’s 3rd biggest hit.
