Short story:
Ed Sheeran releases his debut LP, + (pronounced 'plus'), on Asylum/Atlantic Records. It sells over 100,000 copies in its first week, and enters the UK albums chart at No1.Full article:
Ed Sheeran : It’s a very cool thing to be signed, but only because it’s the right major (label). It was the best time to sign a deal because I did it when I didn’t need to do it. It meant the label didn’t call the shots. It’s a symbiotic relationship.
