Earlier this month, the pop star was spotted smiling while leaving his favourite Soho pub after playing the album for the first time to a group of record label executives.

Sources inside the event told the Mail that there ‘were more than a few bangers,’ adding that it would ‘shoot up the share price’ of the star’s record company, Warner.

‘It was all a secret and Ed proudly shared his new music with a select group of big names in the music industry,’ said one.

‘He was so happy, and there are some absolute bangers on the album. It went down a storm, the talk was that it would be as big, if not bigger, than his others.’

Ed – who shares daughters Lyra and Jupitar with wife Cherry Seaborn – has sold more than 150 million records worldwide, making him one of the world’s best-selling music artists.

After signing with Asylum Records, his debut album, +, was released in September 2011 and topped the UK and Australian charts, since being certified seven-times platinum in the UK.

Two of his albums are in the list of the best-selling albums in UK chart history, with x placing at number 20 and ÷ coming in at number 34.

While the Thinking Out Loud star’s most recent album, Autumn Variations, topped the chart in October 2023.
