As 2017 is coming to an end, all of the popular streaming services are collating the deets of what people were digging this year and the findings are V. interesting *strokes non-existent moustache*.
Pretty sure we can all agree that this has been an epic year in the world of music!
Your faves Harry Styles and Camila Cabello debuted their solo music to rave reviews and serpent queen Taylor Swift returned to the music scene with the much talked about Reputation.
But it’s your boy Ed Sheeran who really cleaned up as his latest album Divide launched him into the top spot of almost all of the categories.
The red-headed crooner took out the title of most streamed artist and male artist, most streamed track with “Shape Of You” and most streamed album with Divide.
Mind you, Ed earned all of these accolades both nationally and globally.
WHAT a champ!
